West Ham have the most favourable run of fixtures for the teams in the race for 4th....

Surely not

Don I’m not sure where you get that Liverpool will overhaul Leicester?

That’ll require a 10 point swing in the final 9 games, and for that to happen it’ll take a strong winning run from Liverpool and a capitulation from Leicester. Can’t see it.

If Liverpool are gonna overhaul anyone it’ll be Chelsea, but they look consistent enough under Tuchel to maintain the gap. For me the current top 4 will be the final top 4 mate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------



Why not ? Leicester are well known for bottling it under Brendan recently. They did it last season and completely messed up top 4, so why not now ? They won against an awful Sheffield United but have been in poor form. Liverpool whilst having a very poor season are still league champions mate. They are still a very good side with excellent players. That hasn’t just suddenly diminished mate. I honestly can see Liverpool sneaking it somehow. I still think they are a far better team than Spurs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Leicester have lost Barnes and Maddison, looked like they were about to have a wobble but have now put some results together to consolidate their top 4 place. For them to drop over 10 points AND Liverpool to hit the title winning form required to overhaul them is pretty unlikely. As I say, Chelsea are probably the only catchable team in the top 4 now, but they are looking good and have some decent fixtures ahead. I think it’s done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Well one thing we can definitely agree on, Spurs won’t be finishing any higher than 7th that’s for sure

Iheanacho has taken up the baton, they’ll be fine

I reckon 70 gets top 4 quite comfortably. Hard to see United or Leicester throwing it away from here.

Didn't Leicester just smash Sheff utd 5-0. They'll be fine for top 4. And you can't say that they're well known for bottling it, they did last year but that was about it, that's more of a Spurs tag there .

I said well known for bottling it under Brendan. They did last season and are currently losing form this season. You are still 10th by the way mate. Let’s not talk about bottle here.

They’ve won their last 2 and 4 of their last 6 so wouldn’t say they are in bad form. It would be a bottle job if they blow it from here.

Leicester picked up 8 points from 8 games in Gameweeks 21-28 last season, whereas they picked up 17 points from 8 games in Gameweeks 21-28 this season

They're clearly not bottling it like they were last season, when the form fell off a cliff basically at the turn of the year.

Chelsea have az n awful lot of football left to play and are struggling for goals. If we can stay within 5 points with five games to play then Liverpool can do it.

We absolutely have to win our next 4 though and that looks unlikely.

posted on 16/3/21

Chelsea for me look easily the most solid team. Incredibly boring under Tuchel but so effective.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Being 10th doesn't make you a bottler, getting within touching distance of a trophy and failing at the last hurdle every time is bottling, exactly one of the things Spurs are famous for.

Yeah they're not conceding shots, or goals, but are not exactly ripping it up going forward.

Theyve won two of their last five so are catchable but Liverpool will have to win about seven of nine.

Yeah agree although Mendy getting injured wouldn't help. Maybe Tuchel can get a tune out of Kepa though.

Kepa will be ok if needed...our defence is so much better now

I take your point but I dont think what has been in front of Kepa has been his issue has it?

. City
2. United
3. Chelsea
4. Liverpool
5. Leicester
6. Everton
7. Westham
8. Spurs
===================

1. City
2. United
3. Leicester
4. Chelsea
5. Liverpool
6. Tottenham
7. Everton

I can see Everton dropping out of the European places quite easily.

posted on 16/3/21

I see the top 4 as they finishing where they are now, with Chelsea edging out West Ham, although I'd love to West Ham do it.
Top 4:
1. Man City
2. Man Utd
3. Leicester
4. Chelsea

Bottom 3
18. Newcastle
19. West Brom
20. Sheffield United

Liverpool will have to settle for the Europa League next season, with this year's Champions League winners being either Bayern Munich or Man City. You heard it here first!

No mate, just makes you utter s**. Despite you’re win Sunday, you are still languishing in 10th. You have no right to gloat.

No...but he's played in a few games since Tushy's introduction and has looked more assured... We may be in for yet another keeper in the summer
