There's a good young squad in there, so let's hope they totally cock up the next appointment.
 
Home vs Big Six: 0 points, Away vs Big Six: 0 points, Home vs Bottom Two: 3 points, Away vs Bottom Two: 3 points, Home vs Mid Table Six: 3 points, Away vs Mid Table Six: 1 point, Home vs Fellow Relegation Rival: 3 points, Away vs Fellow Relegation Rival: 0 points. Obviously this isn't intended to be some sort of mathematical wonder model, but using that systems leaves us with:
Newcastle 46
Brighton 44
Burnley 41
Cardiff 41
Palace 40
Saints 38

One round later, and it now reads:

Newcastle 46
Brighton 44
Burnley 44
Palace 42
Saints 38
Cardiff 38
 
Tonight is almost as important as tomorrow night.

Cardiff v Everton
Leicester v Brighton
Newcastle v Burnley

and

Huddersfield v Wolves (arguably just as irrelevant to us now as results at the top of the league).

The last 5 games form league looks like this:

13th Cardiff 6pts GD -5 LLWWL
14th Saints 5pts GD -2 WDDLL
15th West Ham 5pts GD -3 LLDDW
16th Everton 3pts GD -5 LWLLL
17th Fuham 3pts GD -6 LWLLL
18th Brighton 1pt GD -6 LDLLL
19th Leicester 1pt GD -7 LLLDL
20th Huddersfield 0pts GD -12 LLLLL

So annoyingly the two teams that we could really do with losing this evening are playing teams with equally bad or worse form.
Leicester is a bit of an unknown tonight being their first game without Puel. Everton is a bit of a flip a coin to whether they'll turn up or not.
