Are Brighton now the real threat to 4th SHOULD United beat Spurs in their upcoming match up?
Brighton have
2 games in hand over LFC and a point behind
3 games in hand over AV and 2 points behind
3 games in hand over Spurs and 4 points behind
So win those and they will be right up there and yes they are yet to play those 2/3 games but they have a game in hand over United which if they win would cut United's lead over them to 7 points.
Thoughts??
Brighton??

We have 14 more points than Brighton since gameweek 2. They are a good side but very little to suggest they can catch us without a monumental collapse from us.

We can only finish with max 71 points (probably won’t)
Even that might not be enough
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I reckon it would be enough to pass either ourselves or Newcastle, maybe both but there’s little to suggest you won’t drop any more points.

United will definitely get 12 more points, Newcastle maybe will struggle. But, as you say, Liverpool won't get 21 points anyway.

I’m not sure Newcastle will struggle, I think they’ll finish third. Their form and fitness has them in really good shape, even if they’ve a couple of tough games.

I think Spurs will beat United... players are getting a lot of stick
They even agreed to refund the money

Yeah it's got spurs 1 nil written all over it.
There is bound to be a reaction, especially at home

Brighton's key players also risk being as knackered as ours. I think De Zerbi has said Buonanotte will start at Forest, so that's probably someone like March on the bench.

Agree with others above, beat Spurs and we'll get top 4.
The 4 home games should get us enough points to cover the away form.

I'd be bloody annoyed if Liverpool overtook us. We're nine points ahead and a game in hand.

Agree with this, win against Spurs and we should have top 4 in the bag, lose and Spurs somehow are still in with a shout
