PeterSw Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Man Utd and Newcastle still to play each other. A draw in that game would surely secure us at the very least 5th. The Spurs run-in is brutal. Beat Bournemouth on the 21st and Chelsea on the 27th and we could be 9 points clear of them before they host Arsenal on the 28th.

RichW Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Personally think for top four we will need 72 points - 3 more wins. 70 points I think will come down to goal difference. Chelsea game for Spurs is important for me, excluding that game I see them finishing on 69 but that's the one game I struggle to predict. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPG equivalent would be 67 points in a 20 team league Edited April 15 by VillaJ100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah I don’t think we will reach 75. But it’s a nice target to aim for. 3 minutes ago, VillaJ100 said: 22 team league then though.

villan95 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Hopefully Man City haven't already wrapped up the league when they go to Spurs in the penultimate game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I think we need 10 points from the rest of the games. Bournemouth will be very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Just now, Hank Scorpio said: I think we need 10 points from the rest of the games. Bournemouth will be very hard. Kluivert and Sinistierra went off with injuries v Man. United so if it's even 10 days they won't be available against us and they already have others like Tavernier and Semenyo out so will be less threatening on the counter than in the December game. Solanke is in excellent form though so we'll need to be on it defensively against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Tottenham are just so unpredictable though. But 3 more wins for us should be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 If Spurs are within 6 points of us come the last few games its going to be squeaky bum time as they should beat both Burnley and Sheff Utd, feels like a bonus that the city game now separates the two of them so they cant gain any momentum.

DJBOB Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Would be nice if we could finally get a win over Liverpool at home to secure 4th and then play all the kids away at Palace on a sunny day to end the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs will probably beat City but lose to one of them relegated teams knowing their volatility. Saying that we concede 3 goals in 10 minutes to Brentford but keep out Arsenal so we are just as bad.

Every time I’ve gone there it seems to be horrible, miserable weather. Anyway I don’t think Emery will let up even if we have secured Champions League because he’ll want to keep the first XI match fit for the Conf Final if we make it.

We play Chelsea and Brighton. Spurs play Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. We will probably have a better idea of what's going to be enough for top four after that tbh. In an ideal world, English teams will have a good week in Europe in this week and we can head into Bournemouth game Sunday knowing a win would pretty much seal Top 5 and a very likely Champions League place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
