    Looking at the fixtures, Leeds and Everton certainly have harder run ins than we do, although as we know from trying to predict scores each week nothing is certain, or even likely some weeks?

    Yes think so then Burnley to lose v Norwich and Everton v Man U?

    Of course we need to win too.

    Chelsea 1 Brentford 4 is proof of that.

    0-0 (preferably) draw or a Burnley win, drag everton into it.

    I wouldn't fancy everton's run in neither.

    I think Everton's run in will do that admirably.

    The annoying thing for me is that, win or draw, Burnley will shunt us down a spot in the table tonight - and an Everton win will put them six points ahead of us, with a better goal difference and still with a game in hand. The best result for us would be if both teams caught Covid and the game was postponed for two or three weeks - giving them both a fixture pile up.;)

    How does this compare to NZ spreadsheet

    If history can repeat itself when Roy rescued Fulham they were in the same position as us and gained all the points needed in the last seven games

    These are predictions from a so called supercomputer... published in a Brentford fan-website... I was pretty amazed as it saw us staying up

    The computer was correct that Burnley would beat Everton.

    I think we HAVE to win our next two games, then see what is what.

    I am not 100% convinced we are down, there is some dross around us too.

    But, I think we are just to soften the blow when/if it does happen.

    We are part of the dross too.

    Not a run in, more a leisurely stroll in.

    It was for Lees after the scored the 2nd.

    We just didn't seem to bother trying to get back into it.

    A number of #PL fixtures have been rescheduled due to West Ham and Leicester's semi-finals in the Europe League & Conference League.
    The rescheduling will mean Everton and Norwich have less time in-between games during crunch time of the relegation battle
