Fancy our run in in comparison to the others!

Think it's between us and Man u in all honesty - funny how us and Man U have pretty similar fixtures remaining with Brighton, Palace, Sheffield, Burnley and each other to play. Match them in the other games and I honestly think they'll lose to Arsenal while we should beat Brentford on the last day - makes me think our game against them could not be as important as you might think considering the goal difference but as Tash says, get a draw there and it's probably ours to lose...

Chelsea are so inconsistent and they could be out of the race by the time we play Burnley looking at their fixtures.

Only issue is Manure have 4 home games to our 2. And they play us at home.

Chelsea will probably **** up some games also.

Palace (draw), Sheffield (win), Burnley (win) , Brighton (win) , Man U (draw/lose), Brentford (win)

We can get 4 wins from this.

I'd expect a win vs palace - don't be fooled by there lucky win vs livarpool the other day - their previous win came at the beginning of Feb vs Burnley, played and have been battered by Chelsea, Brighton, Spurs, City and Bournemouth since, with draws against Everton, Luton, Forrest in that time.

But 12 points should be enough, if we don't lost to Man U.

Palace aren't conceding much though. I know they conceded 4 vs city, but apart from that they look defensively decent.

We are great at dealing with teams that come out and attack us but we struggle to unlock defensive teams sometimes.

Just look at Everton. Smashed 6-0 at Chelsea, but we could only manage 1 goal. The reason? Because West Ham, Spurs and Fulham attacked us more. Same with Villa.

Everton sat back and parked the bus.

Last season -

Palace - 3x 0-0 draws. Not a single goal against them in 3 attempts

Bournemouth 1-1, we needed a pen for a draw. 2 home games in 2 seasons and we're scraping draws against them.

Leeds - 0-0

Scrape a nervy 1-0 against Everton with an Almiron screamer.

We need to get better at breaking down defensive sides.

Fair and well put points!

Just think we have goals in us and Palace have used all their defensive luck for the season in that games vs Liverpool - honestly they couldn't have complained if it was 4/5/6-1 last week but there were some literally ridiculously outstanding blocks, misses and saves!
 
Sticking with 6th but could 5th be on?

Spurs - Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Burnley, City, Sheffield
NUFC - Palace, Sheffield, Burnley, Brighton, Man U, Brentford
ManU - Sheffield, Burnley, Palace, Arsenal, NUFC, Brighton
Chels - Arsenal, Villa, Spurs, West Ham, Forest, Brighton, Bournemouth

10 points off spurs currently but they have some really difficult games there!

Lose to Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool and beat Burnley (all reasonable assumptions) and we beat Palace, Sheffield, Burnley and Brighton and we are a point behind them going in to the Man u game while they have City with a superior goal difference. Shake hands with ManU for a point and then go to Brentford needing to just match their result if they lose to City as well....

What qualifies for EL? 5th and 6th if City win the FA Cup?
