It's expected to catch up to Chelsea and Leicester who's 12 points over us already? Unless they fall flat on their asses I think it's mental to expect a UCL spot for next season.
From the 2020/21 season, however, we should demand that like before.
Expect, no. But we absolutely should be aiming for it. It's only the begining of November, we get a bounce out of the new manager and start winning right away then why shouldn't we catch up? Especially when you consider we haven't played Chelsea yet. Win both of our games against them which is very doable given he is their ex manager up against his ex-player and we are only 6 points behind them. I am not saying we will get top four, but I am certain we will try to get it and I reckon we have a fair opportunity to do it.
