    That’s why the odds are so good for Chelsea not getting CL. This season all so called reasonable predictions have come undone. Leicester (predictable only once the schedule announced) and LFC comfortably beating MU, Arsenal beating Chelsea, Newcastle comfortably beating Leicester?

    Worth putting a spare 2 quids on that combo IMO. City v Chelsea not 50/50 btw.

    Leicester gloriously winning the FA cup has laid the ground for them missing the top 4 yet again. But they or their fans won’t care and the repeat of the last minute drop from CL qualification won’t dampen their elation and joy at the FA Cup glory. Their edge and competitiveness could be completely gone. I can’t see anything but a comfortable Chelsea Win on Tuesday 3-0.

    So that before final day of the season,

    3. Chelsea: 67
    4. LFC: 66
    5. Leicester: 66

    LFC have the easiest match and end on 69.
    Chelsea with their eye on the CL final, draw against Villa and end on 68
    Leicester have the toughest match and end on 67or even 66

    So this season could end as well as we started. Just that we had a dip in the middle. And interestingly the same CL qualifiers as last season but in different order.

    Right now the battle for 7th is hotting up as much as for 4th.

    West ham, everton and spurs are basically fighting for 5th to 8th as any could finish in those slots.

    Lfc need to win today to largely take 5th away from them all and continue pressing for 4th.

    West ham have blown their chances and are need to arrest the slide

    Who will finish in the fun new conference league?

    As for us, I think we still have points to drop, maybe a draw who knows. What's the permutations if we win 2 and draw 1, what needs to happen

    We would be on 67 max.

    In that event we need leicester to beat Chelsea or for leicester to lose both games.

    If leicester beat chelsea 2-0 then before we even kick a ball v burnely we would be looking at any win to be going into last day neck and neck on gs with chelsea.

    Ideally actually we just want to absolutely hammer west brom today and keep that draw in the pocket.

    We have to see that we have 8/11 of a cl winning and title winning team available with thiago added in place of Henderson. The cbs are San issue but we are playing west brom, burnely and palace.

    We have been playing the same **** but winning, alisson cant clear the ball, the forwards keep missing but we have going 4-2-0 in the last 6 and have shown a small bit of spine.

    Imo however our forwards are the problem. They lash it at goal. Look at jota miss v utd. Rattled the post right? Looks great but that's a guilt edged chance to put the game beyond utd and hes lashed it not slotted it.

    We need the luck that the ball goes on target and we need the attitude to keep bloddy going when in the lead and not falling back defending.

    West brom are the second worst team in the prem and both leicester and chelsea would hockey them. We have to step up here.

    West brom will probably look like they want it more and wijnaldum and thiago will barely move.

    <peacedove> Manchester clubs are the top two clubs already.
    Third and fourth are being fought for by three teams.
    Leicester City current points is 66 .Games to play, away to Chelsea and home to Tottenham. Winning the two games will give them 72 points.
    Chelsea current points is 64 .Games to play, home to Leicester and away to Aston Villa, winning the two games will give them 70 points
    Liverpool current points is 60 points. Games to play away to West Brom and Burnley home to Crystal Palace
    Winning all three games is going to give them 69 points.
    Chelsea and Leicester have to drop points. Liverpool’s fate is now in their own hands. They need to win all their games to see either Leicester or Chelsea off.

    Big Sam is the obstacle. He enjoys causing problems for Liverpool.

    Updated again.

    Everton Loss now assures Liverpool of at worst 7th.

    Win v Burnley and the very worst we can do is 5th.

    A few scenarios now exist.

    1. Leicester win v chelsea. Chelsea.max is 67. We could win and draw and scrape in on gd but it would be tight and hope to luck.

    2. Leicester and chelsea draw. Chelsea max is 68 and leicester would be on 67 with one to play. 2 wins are needed to be sure.

    3. Chelsea win. Leicester can still get 69 and Chelsea.can get to 70 so again 2 wins plus gd comes into play.

    Now anything could happen yet on the final day but there are a couple scenarios where gd will come into play assuming these sides win their last game.

    We look spent and will be the same 11 trying the same way to score against deep lying teams so the very best chance we have imo is a positive result for leicester of any sort that allows us the chance v burnely to be in the top 4 going into the last game at home in front of 10000 fans.
