Liverpool will be kicking themselves if they don't finish in the top four. (Comparatively) easy run in - Everton at home on Saturday is the last game against a top 7 team. Problem is, it's the games against the lower teams that have done us in this season.

United are playing well but they have some tough games left plus the Europa League to deal with.

At this point, with the clubs they're facing down the stretch, they should finish top 3 and a straight ticket to Group Play.

Yes they've struggled against the bottom of the league (7-5-0 against top 7, 10-3-5 against everyone else), but there's no opportunity to look passed an opponent and on to a tougher team. No excuse, even with Mane out

A Spurs win over Swansea combined with a Chelsea tie or loss to Man City and the title race would be down to 4-5 points. That's within striking distance and definitely not expected a few weeks ago.

This turnaround by Leicester City doesn't make sense.

They were fighting off relegation before making the coaching change.....Now they're 10th

Considering how tight 9th-18th are, it really shouldn't be much of a surprise. Get hot and win a couple matches in a row and you'll make a significant move up the table.

Very true but Leicester City was playing awful. I didn't think this new coach would go 5-0 (6-0 if you include the Champions League match) in his first 6 games. Pretty impressive.

Looking forward to see how they do in the next 2 games which are away from home against Everton & Atletico Madrid.

 

[Tharvot]

Chelsea didn't drop points like I hoped they would vs Man City. Spurs nearly blew it too, but had a fantastic finish to secure 3 points.

Title race gap remains at 7 but with Spurs up 11 on 5th place Arsenal, they should have all but secured at minimum another top 4 finish this season. (knocks on wood)

Man City is useless

Well, if Everton holds true to form, Leicester will go down a goal and then Koemen will start f**king with the lineup like he has a 5 goal lead...

No business giving back two points against Man U earlier this week... UGH!!!

 

[ralphiewvu]

Really kicking myself now for not putting 500 on Man U -285. Up 1 goal and 1 player at the half vs cellar Sunderland.

3-0 Man U win

 

[bksballer89]

5 minutes in and it is 1-1 right now in this LC/Everton game.

The over was 2.5, was thinking that with Everton straight up. Cot damn I need to grow a set.

"It's Cabayyyyeeeeeee!!!!!! It's 2- nil Crystal Palace. A touch of class from the French midlfield man. And Aresene Wenger is ruthful again." - Martin Tyler. The dude is fucking legend announcer. The British Keith Jackson.

 

[Airraidtech]

Omg again. "They haven't looked like undermining Crystal Palace, Arsenal. It's ah been pussy footing around really for Aresene Wenger's players." - Martin Tyler.
Is this a Walter Cronkite Vietnam moment?
Martin just seal Wenger's fate?

 

[Tharvot]

Arsenal has gone straight into the toilet. This pleases me.

 

[Airraidtech]

Martin Tyler is the best.

 

[bksballer89]

Title race is back on unless Chelsea makes an improbable comeback in the final 10 minutes

 

[bksballer89]

0 shots on goal for Chelsea.

Spurs now only 4 back with 6 to play. This should be good.

United 4 points behind City for final Champions League spot but they have 1 game in hand

 

[potzer25]

That was a GREAT result! 4 points back and 6 games to go makes this a much better ending stretch than it looked like it was going to be just several weeks back.
