Its highly likely we'll win all three. According to you Sunderland will lose at home to a Swansea City team we have beaten three times this season but might overturn us at home. Burnley have one away win all season against a Crystal Palace side that looked poor without their key defenders. They also have a poor home record against lower league opposition, even under Big Sam.

We play Spurs at home whose season will almost certainly be over by then. They may not collapse like they did last season against relegated Newcastle United but their minds will be elsewhere on that day.

Can anyone seriously see Chelsea losing one match and drawing another against Middlesbrough, West Brom, Watford and Sunderland?

If West Brom don't pull their finger out they could be overtaken by Southampton, Bournemouth, Leicester City, Stoke City, Watford and Burnley. They are currently 8th. For every team that overtakes them they lose £2 million in prize money. If all of the teams that can catch them do so the club will be £12 million worse off. If I owned the club, backed Pulis in the transfer market and he got one point in the last 2 months and cost the club millions, I wouldn't be particularly happy.

I never said I thought Swansea would win all three. I think they'll slip up. Scroll up.

Yes by one team or the other. Sorry couldn't resist.

No, I don't believe all games we play are winnable but I do think our next 3 are. Sunderland because we are a better team and have a brilliant home record since Marco Silva took over. Crystal Palace because they are weak defensively as a result of injuries as was shown by Burnley. Keep it tight at the back and we could score the goal we need to give us three points. Spurs because their season will be over and their heads will be somewhere else. We'd have to be at our best all over the pitch but yes I believe we can win it.

Whether we do win all three depends on a number of factors other than how well we play, the ref, injuries and a little bit of luck.

I agree that we can look at all three games and give reasons why we can win. Sunderland is obviously the game that we should win. Tottenham may relax but they are a very good team. Crystal Palace are a good side and they have beaten some very good teams and then lost to poor teams. The last two games could go either way. I think Silva will make sure we beat Sunderland.
 
we always make it hard for ourselves! Watford play offs (h) Cardiff already up (h) Derby play offs (h) I can't imagine this year will be any less nail biting? But the upside on those 3 games is we came through it! :emoticon-0148-yes:
