12 isn't it?
3 wins, 3 losses, 3 draws
Even city could be potential points. It's not impossible that arsenal could have won the league by then and if City have to come to goodison currently sitting in 2nd with nothing to play for apart from the champions league then we could see a half bothered city turn up. Even if that's not the case I would still fancy us to get something against them at homeLooking at our remaining games, apart from City, we can take points in them all. Even Utd at the weekend I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a point. There’s only two really good teams in the league this year.
OneI realistically see:
Everton 5/6 points
Wolves 3/4 points
Forest 0/1 point
Leicester 3/4 points
Bournemouth 2/3 points
Hope use beat Leeds and Southampton then put your feet up for Everton knowing your safe.Update on Zaha post scan. Not as bad as first feared. Likely out for 3 weeks. Will miss Leeds (a) Southampton (a) Everton (h). Should be back for last 6 games.

This will go down to the last day
14(?) to 18 will shift around like a demented airline departures board as the fortunes various teams ebb and flow towards full time
Round and round she goes where she stops no one knows
That ^^^ btw is assuming there's no complete collapse of 3 teams at the bottom, which there's every possibility of.5/6 points from the next 4 games will be decent going. I expect 8/9 points from the last 5 games.
So: 13 to 15 points more for us IMO.
That'd hand us 40-42 points. That prediction can take a knock of about 3 points and we'd still have enough.
"Needs more time."Needs 3 points from the next 11 to match Lampard's record for this season.

This little run of games worries me tbh and I can see us having a bit of a wobble. We've been physically out-grinding a lot of teams but I don't think that will necessarily work against Fulham, Palace or Newcastle. Funnily enough United without Casemiro might be the team we match up best against right now. I don't think 4 points from 4 would be a bad run. It's looking more like 1 or over PPG gets it done.Next 4 games:
Everton
United a, Fulham h, Palace a, Newcastle h

On the more positive side the picture is clarifying and with Leicester's struggles there are now 4 teams worse than us, an insurance policy against one of Southampton, Forest or Bournemouth getting a run together and us having a wobble. There's also Wolves who like Leicester I have doubts about their mentality, but hopefully when things start to split in the next few weeks it'll be the current bottom 4 and us on the right side of it.
Yeah I think anyone sacking a a manager now has missed the window where the upside outweighs the downside, and also where you’re going to get a quality or experienced manager willing to step in. If I was a Leicester fan I’d be terrified going into massive games with a couple of coaches in charge.I think we're going to need Leicester, Forest or Wolves - or all three - to have a bad run in, so that the threshold is actually 35-ish points. I think sacking managers now is a mistake for all of them, unless they've got someone really good lined up.
