I don't see who we catch in the top 4. Chelsea's next 3 are West Brom, Palace and Brighton wheras we play Newcastle, Man U and Everton. I'm struggling to see more than 4 or 5 pts from us there. Pretty sure Chelsea get 9 from their 3 games and will be out of sight.
Leicester yesterday were sensational, we've probably played that well once this season (Utd away). They aren't going to collapse. We might get closer in the next set of fixtures as they have City but that will be about as close as we get.
Play the starting 11 from yesterday plus Son, Dele, Toby and LamelaSunday 21`March - Aston Villa (A)

Still to be re-scheduled Southampton (h)
So after the international break its pretty much one game a week. Surely the end of tired players.
Time to choose teams around which players are likely to be here next season ? And time to train mid week and practice for set pieces etc.
And focus on a higher PL place now ?
I reckon more than that. I'm going 64 pts. Probably get us 6th.Mathematically possible but realistically not happening . 9 games left .. 9 points I reckon. We will end the season on 57 points
The one thing you can say about us this season is that we're utterly predictable. Other than beating United and City and not beating Newcastle and Fulham at home i'd say our results have been pretty much what you'd expect. Given that i'd go for wins against Newcastle, Sheff Utd, Villa, Southampton and Wolves. A draw at Leeds and defeats to United, Everton and Leicester.Would ANYONE unless they are out of their Vulcan mind dare predict an outcome to any of our remaining games?

I largely agree but we absolutely schooled Leeds at home, I think we will win at Elland RoadThe one thing you can say about us this season is that we're utterly predictable.

Depends how they do between now and then. If they struggle and a top 4 place rests on the match then they ain't resting no-one.We play Leicester last game of the season if they reach the FA cup final they will be resting players against us be a good time to play them

Simply because if we get to a stage we're 7 or 8 pts off top 4 i can't see us coming back with 6 games to play.Why do you take next 3 games?
By the end of the season Chelsea has to play West Ham (A) ; Man City (A); Woolwich (H); Leicester (H). Those are 4 VERY tricky games for them.
I would argue that our 3 difficult games in Manu (H); Everton (A); Leicester (A) are in fact easier. Leicester is the same, ManU is more beatable than Man City. West Ham and Woolwich are both derby-games, and we know from our own account that both of those lousy teams will turn up for this tie.
