Can only see them dropping 3-5 points in those games max.

We have:

Burnley home
Leeds away
Scousers home
Villa away
Leicester home
Fulham home
Wolves away

They'll probably extend the lead on us again if anything. But second should be in the bag.
Just realised we have a very tricky run in.

we definitely have some tough matches left just given how poor our form has been at home....however we've got a 9 point gap to Chelsea in fifth who's run in looks like this

Brighton home
West Ham away
Fulham home
City away
Arsenal home
Leicester home
Villa away


their run in looks to be more difficult than ours plus they've got the CL to navigate

Liverpool probably have the easiest run in from those outside the top 4

Leeds
Newcastle
Man United
Southampton
West Brom
Burnley
Palace

They should have it won with Chelsea at home tbh.

Apart from the Sheffield United monstrosity, it hasn't been so bad if you take our disastrous start out.

Win against Burnley and I will feel more sure about this, mind

the good thing about Burnley is that you know exactly what you're going to get

442....get it wide and put it in the box OR knock it long to the boys up front and play off the second ball

How many expected Leeds to beat them, though?

Obviously they should still win the title comfortably, and that is what I am assuming. But as long as we keep winning, you never quite know.

I just want us to do our bit. Every win, every improved points total get us closer.

There’s finishing second and then there’s finishing second about 25 points behind. Some might say it’s all the same, but when the ambition is to close tie gap, we’ve got to get closer and if it’s 5-10 points, that’s something you can look at and realistically see making up.

What impressed me about the weekend was the real desire to win the match. With all the other results and difficulty of the fixture, a point would have been decent, especially sandwiched between Europe. We got screwed on a decision, went behind, but we still get going and once it got to 1-1 we were the only team trying to win.

Funny how we haven’t seen the Top 6 Mini League results since we won at City and Spurs too

There was a period a few weeks ago where you worried for that second spot and we were losing that cushion in the top four. Now, we’re cemented in second and we’ve knocked out another 4 league wins in a row. We haven’t moved from second, but doing that and closing the gap just a little is positive.

My thoughts exactly ginger %@#$&!s injured now though if we beat the dingles tomorrow it will be 8 points. Not getting another but if City drop more points quickly their arses might fall out
