Still need an away win for me.

Just writing off the last four aways feels wrong. Well last three given who the next one is against.

Chelsea could easily come to Goodison, see out the first half comfortably and ease to 0-2 win.

Brentford have scored 4 at Chelsea and just comfortably beaten West Ham with Eriksen pulling the strings so that's a real banana skin.

Palace up and down, could be a win but again tricky players in final third and cup match was embarrassing defeat.

Feels like Leicester will create endless chances so that needs to be a human shield infront of the Gladys. Weak on set pieces though.

Loss v Chelsea, win v Palace and draws v Leicester and Brentford gets team to 33 points so that's why I think a win at Watford is desperately needed given they'll be demotivated and pretty much relegated by the time that fixture is played.

The team have done great to dig out two 1-0 wins in different circumstances at Goodison but think it's dangerous to assume it will just continue, how many years since team even won three straight in the league at Goodison.
 
If Burnley lose to West Ham on Sunday then they have 7 games left with 4pts to make up on us.

If we can beat Leicester then Burnley would need to pickup 7pts to catch us.

Burnley play 4 times in April, we only play twice. If were still ahead of them then we'll have 6 games left to their 4.

West Ham for them and Leicester for us are two massive games.

Agree with this. Doesn't help that West Ham have looked abit gash recently. Even against us I thought they were largely lucky and we deserved something from it. Let's hope they get back to form against Burnley

I think 36 points would probably do it, but we would then be heading into the final game of the season looking over our shoulders and having to hope Burnley don’t win on the final day.

Getting to 36 points though is still 2 wins and 2 draws away from where we are now. Based on the current form we don’t draw many, it’s either win or bust,

I’m kind of hoping that we go into the final day 4 points clear of the drop, knowing that the last game doesn’t matter and we can start planning for the future

The teams below us are poor. I can't see any of them getting more than 33 to 34 points, and the bar may even be lower than that. I feel like Watford are the biggest threat now, especially as they still have to play at home against us. We need to pick up some points from the four tough fixtures before the Watford game, because after that things could get very tense and edgy, and that doesn't help us.

I think you’re right.I reckon we’ll finish on 35 points and it’ll be enough only just though..
 

Think there will be lots of twists and turns down the stretch. As this weekend proved ....results are going to be largely unpredictable. Need to just focus on our next match. Think our win v Utd largely affected Burnley today.... 3 points v Leicester should be our 100% focus at this point.
