The Race for the Top 4 2017

[Chris]

We need to win all 5 of those games. You just know UTD is going to go on a run.

Nah we dont, there's no hope in hell of them winning at City, Spurs and Arsenal and they are hardly perfect v the **** either. Corruption will keep them close but wont be enough.

[Fredo]

Yeah, if we win the next two games, that'll go a long way to nail that spot IMO. They won't play their two games in hand until late on I guess?

[Charly]

we need 4 wins as city have to play utd... no?

[Fredo]

How many we need to win depends on what the other teams do. Ideally we'd want to win them all and hopefully that's what we'll aim to do. We are in pole position and all we can do is look to what is in front of us, not behind us.

we need to win one more game than United. Even if they won them all that means they beat city so one more game than them will do as well

And with the fixtures ahead that should be easily achievable.

[ChesterDave]

I think that we will know one way or the other by the time we finish against Watford on 1 May

Would be great for us if Arsenal did us a favour and turned up to the top 4 fight and beat City and United !

Arsenal have gone to ****, so they could easily win there, City are hit and miss, catch them on a bad day or get a bit of luck and they can get a win there, and Spurs have a terrible record against Man Utd. While it looks unlikely I wouldnt right them off, as Man Utd are on a decent run and get alot more 'luck' than most sides

They've got 3 more games in April, we've got one

3 draws I reckon

[BigChief]

I can't even see them getting past Anderlecht. Expecting their fan base to come down with a crash on Thursday.

They could do, they're obviously hard to beat so might nick one but equally they've not won a tough away game all season despite astonishing officiating favours.

[Fernandinho]

The other thing is that everyone is assuming they win all their games in hand, then we only need to win one more than them. We have those points in the bag and United still need to earn them, which is a huge advantage.

[Fosterbloke]

Plus our goal difference (which is four better than Utd right now)

[SB]

4 goal difference is nothing though bud. 2-0 win to them & a 2-0 loss to us ==
