Arsenal will get 4th and we’ll end up 6th.
We’ll beat Everton by 2
If we play a decent midfield we might stand a chance tomorrow. Winkbjerg won't work against Everton.
It really is a must win game though if we still want to keep our top 4 hopes alive. United look like their race is done so left up to us IMO.
There is no race for top 4. It's a race for 5th
Is Skipp actually back yet?
Southampton we’re never in it, just a purple patch and I would say similar for Wolves.
United are terrible, I wish Keane would turn some of his bollox towards Spurs on his own side.
Spurs, Arsenal or West Ham I think. Arsenal have some very tricky fixtures.
Our biggest problem is that quite frankly our squad is schitt

Yeah Arsenal looking by far the favourites. In fact they might even have a run at third place.
But, recent history tells us their form at times can be patchy (pot/kettle I know) so it’s not nailed on just yet.

I think we have a first team capable of top 4, it's just how much we get to see of it between now and the end of the season.

We've got some difficult games but out of all the really difficult games we have left we only have one of those away at Chelsea and I have a feeling the season is going to catch up with them they will have played a lot of games. You lot still have to go to United and Liverpool.
We are in the driving seat so it's ours to lose at the moment.

The big thing you have over United and Spurs too is that you don't drop a lot of points against the poorer sides. United and Spurs don't have any games that could be considered gimmes. As they consistently haemorrhage points against fodder
Come on we all know what will happen tomorrow. It's another one of those "chance to make a statement" or "chance to take advantage" games. So they won't turn up.......again.
If Spurs managed to play our strongest team until the end of the season, then I’d say we’d have a reasonable chance of 4th.
But this would mean never playing the likes of Winks, Doherty, Sanchez... or Davies for that matter
The likelihood of top 4 for us, on that basis , is very slim...
I’d say Arsenal are favourites for 4th now...
Spurs, West Ham & Man Utd are too inconsistent
The 1bn pound team getting hammered by the 2bn pound team 4-1 shut the door on title races, after Spurs opened that door by defeating the 2bn pound team.
Spurs could still play a huge part in the top 4, but inconsistencies mean, they are the least favourite of the top 4 pack.
It would take winning tomorrow for a start, then beating Arsenal and getting a result at Liverpool. I can only see 2/3 possibilities there.

Liverpool are 6 points behind City with a game in hand, and a fixture against City to come.
City are strong favourites but I wouldn’t say the door is shut on the race at all.

It definitely isn't. If Liverpool win every game, City can't surpass their points tally. Not saying they'll do that, obviously but just shows how close it is

You still have to play us at a ground you’ve never got so much as a point at, West Ham away, Villa away, Southampton away, Chelsea away, a resurgent Newcastle away, Liverpool at home, United at home.
You are currently in the driving seat, but it’s far from over and you can be as flaky as any side in the league
Looks incredibly difficult for any other team other than Arsenal now. Would have preferred Spurs to get it out of any team but you're just not good enough.

Yeah we can have bad games but right now we are effectively seven points clear of you lot a point clear of United with three in hand, three clear of West Ham with three in hand and only have to play one game a week. Put it this way if we don't finish at least fourth then it will be incredibly disappointing.

City’s only difficult remaining games are Liverpool at home and West Ham away - if you don’t beat them in a couple of weeks then they have won the league again as a draw at West Ham will still be enough for them.
Top 4 was gone with the saints, wolves and Burnley losses. Woeful stuff.
Credit to Arsenal. Have really got their act together after their poor start. Far better and more importantly consistent team than us currently.

I'm a United fan 🤣. But if you look at the games City have dropped points in, it's not necessarily where you'd expect. I don't see either team dropping many points at all though. So the game between the two is crucial. Liverpool will probably need to win
