Remaining PL games

I hope we can win soon, either Everton or Villa.

For the rest of the games: West Ham, Palace, Sheffield United/Norwich and the last game at home vs Wolves - a must win for me.

So if I include one win against either Everton or Villa + West Ham, Palace, Sheffield or Norwich and a win vs Wolves in the last game that's 15 points, a total of 60 points that means.

Last time 60 points was enough for a team to be among top 4...Everton had 61 points 2004–05 when they got 4th place, 2006–07 Spuds had 60 points which was enough for the 5th place, I would take the 5th place now if I could.

 
The blades are great on set pieces. Think we can beat them with how we are defending them? Lol

 
We seem to be getting away with poor results every week, it's madness how we are still 4th. 

I am an optimist and think we will cling on, but badly need to step up our game and see it out.

Going to be a nervy run-in but we can do it.

 
Wolves, City and Liverpool I fully expect us to drop points against. The rest I have no idea tbh. It could be three points for us or we could just as easily drop points. This season is similar to last, we are hoping for rivals to drop points to make top four. 

 
  • Everton (H) - DRAW
  • Aston Villa (A) - WIN
  • Manchester City (H) - WIN
  • West Ham United (A) - LOSS
  • Watford (H) - DRAW
  • Crystal Palace (A) - WIN
  • Sheffield United (A) - WIN
  • Norwich City (H) - WIN
  • Liverpool (A) - LOSS
  • Wolves (H) - LOSS
 
You have to expect our closest rivals will maintain the same pace with points.

I feel Utd are the strongest here. Tottenham is depleted with injuries. Arsenal is Arsenal. Sheffield is really too high up in the table.

I hope we get back our main players quick added with fresh Ruben. Utd is on a good Europa run so we have more time to prepare for games than them.

 
We desperately need to win two or more games on the bounce ... we haven't done that since early November in the PL ... if we can do that, then we'll probably put some daylight between us and the chasing pack.

Everyone is so inconsistent that all teams will no doubt continue to drop points all the way to the end of the season. United and Wolves are in the best current form, but that could change quickly as it has before already this season for both of them ...

 
Every MU fan expected them to go on a run of wins instead they almost lost to Everton. Without that dubious decision they would have lost. The chasing pack we are a part of is just a bit of embarrassing to be honest. Prem is a tough league but still.

 
It's a shambles that we haven't managed to put back to back wins for so long. If we don't manage to do that soon then we are in trouble and two games without a win starting at Everton would be a disaster. We are due a run asap

 
Honestly, it’s so hard to call any of them games. 
 

The final 2 games are tough and it could decide if we get top 4. 

 
As long we keep winning every other game and getting draws on the others I don't expect the rest of the chasing rabble to do much better.

Utd are in the Europa, Spurs missing their strikers Arsenal on the rebuild and the Europa. Wolves are flying high but think teams will now treat them with more respect.

i dont think 57 pts(45+12) will even get 5th place.

At the moment 5th place is on 1.5 ppg. Which is 57 points at the end of the season. 

If we get 60 points, we will get CL. 

Remember when Sarri was called a fraud because we only got 72 points. What a time.

I hope we get CL purely because the Europa league is so boring. Rubbish teams all the way through the competition, it’s way too long and dull matches.

And matches in far away places which means longer travelling and less time to prepare for other matches, notably the League.

 
There's always the chance Leicester run out of steam and we sneak 3rd. They have been poor lately (2 points out of a possible 12) and they're only 5 points ahead of us, despite our poor form. After yesterday I am once more filled with a sense of (likely misguided) optimism for our top 4 hopes.

We have 10 games left until the end of the season.

We can reach a maximum of 75 points if we miraculously win all 10 games. How many points is going to be required to finish top 4 (or 5)?

  • Everton (H) 3 points
  • Aston Villa (A) 3 points 
  • Manchester City (H) 0 points 
  • West Ham United (A) 3 points
  • Watford (H) 3 points
  • Crystal Palace (A) 3 points 
  • Sheffield United (A) 1 point
  • Norwich City (H) 3 points
  • Liverpool (A) 3 points
  • Wolves (H) 0 points

22 points. Should be enough imo.
