Manchester City

I think Leicester are the only team in the top 6 who can grid out a win at the moment. I think they will remain strong, and I don't see up getting 3rd, but 4th is still on- im certain City or Arsenal will fall to pieces and as long as we string some wins together, its on.

I can just see West Ham getting it though. Imagine a top 4 of Leicester, Spurs, Arsenal and West Ham. They'd get destroyed in Europe

TBF, they choked against WH and Arsenal, but Spurs have been grinding out the performances. That Villa win wasn't as easy as it should have been.

Beating Southampton will be difficult, but if we pull it off we could definitely have City in our sights while the have the CL distraction.

8 wins from 10 gets us top 4 defo I reckon, definitely do-able, we even put a run together last season afterall. Will be tough to juggle with probably Europa league quarters and more but confidence and momentum is everything so who knows.

Naturally we'll now lose to Southampton!!

[Fosterbloke]

Beat Utd tomorrow and Southampton and we have a 6 game winning streak. Let's ****ing do it!

Pelle finding form again certainly won't help our cause. Will be a very tough game.

Unrelated, Koeman was very good on MNF, interesting listening to him.

He scored two goals and that's it. Hardly finding form.

He scored two goals and that's it. Hardly finding form.

Having went months without scoring, I would say getting two in one game is definitely finding form and the fact that he's the type of player that traditionally does well against us, it's a worrying sign. Plus he's the type of forward that gets his goals in batches, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him go on a run now.

How would you define 'finding form'

Not really a whole lot different to anyone else the Premier League sends

[Bender]

If Man City finish 4th in the PL and Liverpool win the Europa Cup,then City will qualify for the Europa League only

[Norbs]

Imagine that

Interesting stat.

Man City have not won 2 league games back to back since October 3rd and 17th games. Their record this season is shocking for a side so heavily invested into.

You sure? I thought all 5 clubs get in and the only way 4th would lose out is if another English club won the CL but didn't finish in top 4?

[RedReet]

Looks like you might be right. Sky Sports seem to suggest that might be the case. Not sure where I heard 5 would get in.

There is a maximum of 5 CL places per country, the only way team who finishes fourth league in the league doesn't make the CL (qualifier) is if an English team (City) win the CL whilst finishing outside the top 4 and another English team (us) wins the EL whilst also finishing outside the top 4.
