Yeah, we are in a pickle.
Iām guessing Spurs and Leicester will win tonight.
Whatever results helps us get top 4. Least bothered if united or whoever wins that can help us achieve the same; none are winning the league anyways.

I said it earlier, City, United and Leicester are pretty much lock-on for the top three spots. So whatever results help us get that fourth spot.
Leicester are playing ManU, Spurs and Chelsea at the end of the season. Pretty sure they wonāt make the Top4 if they donāt win today.

Let me try to explain a bit.
Firstly, I donāt expect Leicester to drop points against other top-four contenders. So having games against WHU, MU, Chelsea and Spurs means those teams dropping points as much as Leicester dropping points.
Secondly, as the Chelsea-WBA and City-Leeds games showed us that any team is capable of taking points off the top teams. I think games involving Fulham, Newcastle, BHA, Burnley, Wolves and Villa are bound to throw out some surprises.
So Leicester arenāt any particularly vulnerable.
Iām not even going to try and pick results. If Leicester arenāt dropping any points against that lot as you expect then even United are vulnerable as anyone to being caught as their run is also tricky. If they lose today, then against us and against Leicester as well then they are back in the pack.
You really canāt definitively say at this point. Leicester and United have the drop on everyone else and āshouldā theoretically not have a problem but that fixture list is a funny old thing.

I also think Spurs will take care of United today. Mourinho may have managed United but after his period there I reckon he has a bit of a grudge against them. He will pull out whatever he has in his locker to get up on them and Ole just wonāt have enough to handle it especially since the obligatory penalty advantage he gets is now faced by the conundrum the Ref will be facing with Harry Kane being on the opposing line up and also expecting a cheap one.
I still think Chelsea will lose a few more, Palace are on beach mode alreadyā¦ They always go this way when safe.

Fulham should have taken Origi on loan during winter window.

When it comes to these situations, I hope for a point deduction brawl circa 1990 style.
That way, you donāt need to get filthy.
Iām not too sure about Leicester, they have form for dropping off around this stage of the season, maybe I am wrong and they have learnt from last season but Iām not entirely convinced. Have a feeling that this is going to go down to the final day, a bit like 02/03 (but hopefully itāll end a little better for usā¦)

Newcastle leading 2-1. Not exactly what I want, a draw would be better.
Leicester? West Ham? Draw?
West Ham leading 2-0. This isnāt a good scoreline for us. Commentator is irritating, really going over the top about West Ham and Lingard.
