Important to note that after the Liverpool game, the sides we are yet to play in the first round of fixtures are Norwich, Leeds and Burnley. Probably the lowest average position run of fixtures in the league. I know they are not the next three fixtures, but the point stands.
If we maintain our good form, there are 9 points to be had there, and we could conceivably be looking at top 7.
Having said this, we will probably beat Liverpool and get a point from those three now.
