Race for top 4

Now we're effectively 5 points behind City it doesn't look great.

But here are our fixtures/predictions for the rest of the season. I tried to be as fair as possible.

United...

Villa - win
Palace - win
Leicester - draw
Norwich - draw
West Ham - draw
Bournemouth - win

12 points

City

Chelsea - draw
Newcastle - win
Stoke - win
Saints - draw
Arsenal - draw
Swansea - win

12 points

Not looking good

This effectively 5 only counts if it was 5pts effectively 6.

They lose 1 and draw 1 and we win 2 we go ahead of them. Its means nothing.

Well it does mean something. if we are equal on points with them through any number of scenarios then their goal difference is a point as we found out in 2012

I've been saying for months now that we won't be consistent enough to finish top four, doesn't matter about the fixtures or points difference, the current top four will stay as it is IMO.

I wouldn't discount Liverpool...

I would Melton. Even if we win every game (which we won't), we would only get 69 points, meaning you only have to win 4 of your 6 to finish above us.

Losing at Southampton from a winning position effectively killed our chances.

We can sneak into the top 6 though.

Hafmeister, if you look at the op I'm fairly right with the points totals.

Robb you predicted us to get 8 points and we got 10 so far while you predicted Man CIty to get 9 points and they got 8 points so that is a 3 point swing on your predictions. That is crucial.
