    It didn't happen. There was no such game.

    On the plus side, at least those games haven't come during this injury period. Saying that, though, we probably hit the best time of the season to play both Newcastle (just about won) and Swansea (lost), so it can go either way, and is completely moot if we don't put away our chances early.

    Yes, really we just need to hit a vein of form with those players back, and play the Spuds and Liverpool games as if they're cup finals. I would sacrifice almost anything to stop Spuds getting fourth. Unfortunately I feel like Saints are one of the reasons Spuds are doing well - reckon Poch is using us as a pacesetter and self-motivator.

    Unfortunately, I think Premiership placing outranks CL games for Arsenal at this stage - they won't risk too much in the CL if it means not qualifying next season. Plus they've only got about two (two-legged) CL games remaining.

    Any idea how many games remain between us, Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd, and Arsenal?

    6th; with the 'usual suspects' all getting a good vein of form after some indifferent performances prior to Christmas, all now have a sniff of a top four finish; the FA Cup and Europa Cup competitions will be less of a priority now.

    In order:

    Spurs v Arsenal
    Liverpool v Spurs
    Saints v Liverpool
    Man Utd v Spurs
    Liverpool v Man Utd
    Arsenal v Liverpool
    Saints v Spurs
    Man Utd v Arsenal

    And we all still have City and Chelsea to play, with the exception of Arsenal who do not have City to still play. Arsenal also benefit from being home to Chelsea. The other four of us all have to go away to Chelsea.

    As I say, if Liverpool or Spurs regularly slip up in these head-to-heads, then 6th place is absolutely on for us, in my opinion.
