Okay so this last week we've had a few good results, the man city draw allowed us to go up to 4th, Arse only managed a draw from their game in hand and so while they're 7pts ahead at the moment, if we win our game in hand it would be down to 4pts.
So this week we've got:
Chelsea(31pts) v Sunderland
Scum(33pts) v Derby County
Reading v Liverpool(30pts)
Middlesbrough v Arsenal(37pts) (Sunday)
So basically to go 3rd we need anything other than a chav win v Sunderland. Chavs we're lucky to win last week, and while Sunderland will offer a decent test, a draw or defeat might be pushing things, so lets hope for a draw on this one.
To go 2nd we'd also need to see the mancs lose v Derby, Derby should definitely improve under Jewell but it's not going to happen in this match, should expect mancs to win by a few goals.
While we can't go top, Arsenal visit Boro on sunday, and with a few injuries and given their poor showing v newcastle, it might not be too much to hope for a draw in this one. Boro are a funny team and at the riverside might just be able to hold arse, but again I wouldn't hope for too much from this one.
So of course that just leaves us v Reading, we should be expecting to win this game, the carling cup result earlier in the season will raise expectations, but in the kind of form we're in at the moment, we should expect to win. That should set us up nicely for our crunch match v marseille. Come on the reds.
