Well I dunno.
the points tallys now are:
utd 47
chelsea 45
liverpool 44
arsenal 38
spurs 37
now spurs somehow have managed to get 2 games in hand SOMEHOW despite the fixutres not being fixed.
So do we give them 6 points as worst case?
Really Then spurs could be on 43 points in 5th.
43+33 = 76.
so 33 points for 16 games = 2 points per game more or less so thats clearly possible for even spurs.
If we say right ok. lets just say arsenal and spurs have 41 points after 22 games. Fiar? maybe.
41+35= 76 so 35 from 16 = 2.18 points or 11 wins and 2 draws out of 16.
Can that be done. yes, not easily but yes it could be.
This goes back to my point about arsenal imploding and spurs having a crisis. It'd be very nice to just gap these two now and have them focus on other things
For me arsenal have this fall back of europa league. With ozil, sanchez issues and excuses about injuries and fixtures coming #I could see them vanish off the chase if they feel the europa is the best route to CL.
Spurs are the worry for me. Spurs have proved in the past a run of 11ins in 16 games something they can do.
ideally they will over use kane and alli and burn them out whereas we've at least tried to keep our best players fit.
It'll be interesting to see what's needed in the end.
At the moment it seems the most likely top 6 team to miss out CL places would be Arsenal. Like the mancs did last year, once they see the CL carrot at the end of the Europa tunnel, there is no way they'll prioritise a 4th place over that. Especially when getting that guaranteed CL place would be 3 matches to win.
The best result tomorrow would be a draw. Keep Arsenal away but reel Chelsea back into the pack.
