As it stands:

City	27	65
Utd	27	51
Leicester	27	50
WHU	26	45
Chelsea	26	44
Liverpool	26	43
Everton	25	43
Spurs	25	39

Just for fun done a few quick calculations and here is the table if we were to have drawn all the games against the teams above us.

City	27	64
Utd	27	52
Leicester	27	48
Spurs	26	45

First back to back league wins in 17 games to propel ourselves back into Top 4 contention.

Man Utd still have to play:
Man City (A), West Ham (H), Tottenham (A), Liverpool (H), Leicester (H)

Leicester still have to play:
Man City (H), West Ham (A), Man Utd (A), Chelsea (A), Tottenham (H)

Chelsea still have to play:
Everton (H), West Ham (A), Man City (A), Woolwich (H), Leicester (H)

Everton still have to play:
Chelsea (A), Tottenham (H), Woolwich (A), West Ham (A), Man City (A)

Liverpool still have to play:
Woolwich (A), Man Utd (A)

West Ham still have to play:
Man Utd (A), Woolwich (H), Leicester (H), Chelsea (H), Everton (H)

Whereas we have:

Woolwich (A), Man Utd (H), Everton (A), Leicester (A)

It's going to get tasty.

 

[The special ones mai]

Liverpool have the easiest run in, unless we beat 3 of the teams above us i dont think we get top 4, only good thing is Leicester have all their players injured, west ham have hard fixtures and Everton too..

 

[SA96]

To get top 4, we will need to probably win 9 or 10 out of our last 12 games.

Game in hand 2 points off 4th if we win it.

Let's get stupid about our top 4 chances its more fun.

To get top 4, we will need to probably win 9 or 10 out of our last 12 games.

That would get us to 69-72 points. 3rd and 4th last season both got 66 points. I’d suspect mid 60’s will suffice for 4th place the rate everyone is dropping points this season.

 

[bonaspur23]

I still think Europa is a better chance. Two teams ahead of us in the table go on a decent winning run and it will be hard to catch them.

 

[daveyboy88]

70 points could get 2nd the way things are going now

 

[Juno]

I would suspect that the Man U game at home is the key one if we are to finish in the Top 4. A win there is pivotal.

 

[JIMINHO]

Just taking a look at our potential fixture list:

April 8 - First leg quarter final Europa League
April 10 - Man United (h)
April 15 - Second leg quarter final Europa League
April 17 - Everton (a)
April 25 - EFL final
April 29 - First leg semi final Europa League
May 1 - Sheff Utd (h)
May 6 - Second leg semi final Europa League

Too bad they couldn’t swap out Sheff Utd for Leicester; that would have been a mental 4 weeks. 8 games in 28 games averages a game every 3.5 days. Can’t wait!

Having seen them last night Chelsea will get top 4, pains me to say it but they looked really good. Reckon they'll finish 2nd. Which means we have to reel in Leicester or Man Utd and hoping Everton don't push on. Probably means winning 9 of our last 12 with maybe a draw or two. Really can't see it.

 

[Slavvie]

With our schedule and the remaining Big Six fixtures, can see West Ham and Leicester plunging and us nabbing 5th. Thinking the following:

Man City
Chelsea
Man Utd
Liverpool
Spurs
Leicester
Everton
West Ham
Woolwich
Villa

My only hope is that I would like to think we been through our slump this season and maybe everton/west ham are due one.

Time will tell but now would be the perfect time to go on a run and put some pressure on the guys above us. If we can find a bit of consistency at the back who knows

 

[Spurs1994Fan]

Very interesting!!

Maybe this is not popular, but i take a draw with Woolwich, leicester and Everton, because there are 3 difficult away matches...

But we have to win all of our home matches, including Man Utd

Trouble is our results against the better, top 8/9 sides is dismal. O pts from 6 against Liverpool, 1 from 6 against West Ham, 1 from 6 against Chelsea. Defeats to Leicester and Everton. The Utd and City wins are real outliers in our season to date. Doesn't inspire much confidence against Woolwich and Villa and thats before we get to United, Everton and Leicester.

I wouldn't rule out snatching second.
