Relegation

[davek]

Guess this is my point in saying if we beat Leicester. Watford will be gone by then so if we can’t beat an already relegated Watford then what’s the point. That would leave us needed 3 points from the last 3 games.

We need to play like we did today to get 3 points off them down there. Dont think they'll hand us those points or have no fight.

Where are these teams getting these points? General interested as Burnley have Villa twice and Spurs and Newcastle
Leeds have Arsenal, Chelsea, Brentford and someone I can’t remember

Burnley will get something from Villa and Newcastle home games, neither of those are in danger of going down

Leeds I think will win one and draw one of their two home games, possibly get something at Brentford if their survival depends on it

They are 5th and 8th respectively in the form table for the last 6 games that have been played.

I don’t agree with that and the resting if players, they need top 4 and Spurs are only 5 behind so a lose to Leeds could be bad for them

You will see. The team that Tuchel plays at Leeds will be very very different to the one today.

I watched him getting interviewed the other day, fellas an actual plantpot.

That index finger jabbing yesterday was one of the truly cringeworthy moments of the season.

Also...

Alls im gonna say is that we have 7 from 9 at home since I've been going through the left turnstile.

You're welcome.

….such things make all the difference.

I know mate, looks like we're gonna have to carry a canine down Goodison Road every game now as well.

Cant stand the feller like, but.....

England number one without question? Someone’s not toeing the party line there Henry

Amazing how one unexpected win completely changes the picture. Watford should be officially relegated by the time we play them, so it's hard to see Leeds getting more from their four than we get from our five. Any of the teams on 40 could get pulled down into the scrap, especially Villa since horking up six to Burnley puts them at serious risk of finishing on 40. Next weekend should be intense.

Leeds are a right weird team, can see them getting 2 wins

if Burnleys winning streak continues much longer I'll be suspecting heir Kipperty of sending a batch of Spezialbrau over to the Turfmoor greggs.

I think Leeds will beat Chelsea and then pick up 3 points from the other games against Brentford and Brighton. 5 points in total for them.

Burnley I think will take 5 points from Villa and Newcastle and lose to Spurs.

That means we need to get 7-8 points from our remaining 5 which is very possible if we can pick up some away points and win those home games.

Honestly not sure why people have a Burnley getting past Villa easily. I’d be amazed if Villa lost home and away to them. If we had a double header against Villa I wouldn’t be confident of winning either, especially with Spurs away in the middle. I’d be hoping for 4 points out the three games at best but would be dreading zero if we didn’t win the home game v Burnley.

I’d take Villa at home rather than Leicester away for sure, Burnley are on top 4 form last 5 games

Interesting reading,

A win at Leicester would be unbelievable, it would absolutely crush Leeds and Burnley
