There are potentially 5 teams battling it out for just two spaces to qualify for this next season's Champions League. Liverpool and Everton are rank outsiders but could make a push because of Chelsea and Tottenham's involvement in the Europa League, meanwhile Arsenal are fully focused on 4th place and look strong to get 4th, or even 3rd. Now I'm going to make predictions for each clubs final games and analyse their chances of getting 4th:
Tottenham (57 points)
Tottenham's game tomorrow will be close and I don't a loss will throw their Champions League spot to another side. I predict a draw for it without Bale. The home game against Man City will be very difficult, City will really want to end on a high and again I can see slipped points, draw. Wigan will be fighting for thier lives, they will be desperate for points so Tottenham will have to be at their best, but I predict 3 points. The home game against Southampton should be an easy win, with Saints all but secure. They'll have Stoke away after and if Stoke continue on this run, they could be fighting for their lives too, Tottenham should win. The final game sees Tottenham entertain Sunderland, again depending on the next few games, Sunderland could be in trouble. I think Di Canio has a big job and he is up to the task. Draw. They have another game against Chelsea to be pencilled in which I think Chelsea will be too strong. Chelsea win.
Predicted points: 69 ( 4th )
Arsenal (56 points)
Arsenal have a home game against struggling Norwich and I predict them to win. I think Everton at home will be tricky and a draw seems likely, maybe a home win but they should avoid defeat. A london Derby against Fulham away will not be easy but I tip Arsenal to take 3 points. Next is United at home, they could and should be Champions by then, if not, I still predict Arsenal to get at least a point against them. They will run into trouble at QPR though, who will have slender hopes of survival, which will see Arsenal defeated but I back them to win the last 2, Wigan (H) and Newcastle (A).
Predicted points: 72 ( 3rd )
Chelsea (55 points)
Chelsea entertain Sunderland tomorrow and they should get 3 points, but then they face Fulham after the FA Cup. As with Arsenal, it won't be easy but 3 points for the blues is how I see it. I do think they'll be lucky to get anything at Anfield against us reds, so I tip a defeat there. Swansea will have very little to play for so Chelsea will get 3 points in that game. The last 3 are United (A), Villa (A) and Everton home, all those games are tricky and I can't see past 4 points really. The win coming at home to Everton. I also predicted a win at home to Tottenham.
Predicted points: 67 ( 5th )
Everton (51 points)
The outsiders I think will get a point against Tottenham tomorrow but could see a defeat too. Highly doubt they'll win but you never know. I think they'll narrowly beat QPR at home but they will have to settle for a point at Arsenal. Sunderland will also be very difficult and again a point seems likely at best. They should beat Fulham the following week but won't be able to get anything at Anfield against Liverpool. I also predict a defeat against Chelsea but they should win the game in between against West Ham, who will be safe.
Predicted Points: 63 ( 7th )
Liverpool (48 points)
Tomorrow will bring a home win against West Ham and it's the best time to play Reading so that should bring another 3 points. I also think that we will win at home to Chelsea but Newcastle away will be a stumbling block, a draw denting dreams of the Champions League. I do think we'll win the final two home games of the season as well, against QPR and Everton but inconsistency away from home will lead to a draw against Fulham.
Predicted Points: 65 ( 6th )
Who will be in the top 4 this season

I see the Liverpool fan has them to finish above Everton. Shocked that he made that prediction.

We are not in the race for 4th.
We have zero chance of catching Arsenal. We have a miniscule chance of catching Spurs or Chelsea, and zero chance of catching both of them.
We should overhaul Everton, providing we win the home derby, which I expect us to.

If you's do finish above Everton will the 1 million fans return for the open top bus parade just like they did after Istanbul.....

We only do that when a major trophy is won
That's probably lost on you

===========================
Finishing above Everton is a normal thing for LFC. It's really a very bad season whenever we finish below them.
