For all those fans who like how football works, I think we’ll be fine today.
Man Utd 4-0 Chelsea
Southampton 1-1 Man Utd *
Chelsea 2-0 Brighton
Brighton 0-2 Southampton **
Chelsea 2-2 Sheffield Utd
Sheffield Utd 0-1 Southampton
Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool
Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
* Southampton with 10 men for half an hour added to algorithm
** Brighton had ten men for an hour
It will be tight because we both lost 1-2 at home to Liverpool, but we have the edge on the 2-0 Brighton wins because ours was at home (although Brighton had 10 men) and Chelsea drew at home to Sheffield Utd, whilst we won away. The algorithm has a narrow Saints win it a draw.
Sadly, I didn’t know how to work in the VAR decisions from those games, so I hope that doesn’t feck it up.
Double Sadly, they haven’t played Spuds and beaten then so we can’t use that either.
... because this is how football works
