okay, so if we beat Stoke by 4 goals then we go into 3rd because Chelsea are in the CWC this week but just a win there would be a very good result. Defeat at Stoke means they'd be on level points with us, and go above us if they win by three goals. other teams within three points are... Sunday 13:30 Tottenham v Swansea 16:00 West Brom v West ham Monday 20:00 Reading v Arsenal Tottenham are level on points with 3 less on GD West Brom are level on points with 4 less on GD Arsenal are 2 points behind with 3 more on GD Swansea are 3 points behind with 2 less on GD Spurs v Swans - Draw West Brom - Win Arsenal - Win I think we will bein 6th by Tuesday as I think we will draw against Stoke.
Tottenham and Swansea currently 0-0, don't a very exciting game but it's a good result so far for us. If Spurs win they go above us, anything else we stay fourth. Same goes for West Brom later.
Reading have only lost twice at home in the league Tottenham on the opening day and Man United so hopefully they make it difficult for Arsenal tomorrow.
There are six teams within three points of us going into this weekend with Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal slightly ahead whilst West Brom, Norwich and Stoke are on our tails. 3rd Chelsea 29pts GD - 11 4th Spurs 29pts GD - 5 5th Arsenal 27pts GD - 13 6th Everton 27pts GD - 7 7th West Brom 27pts GD - 3 8th Norwich 25pts GD - -6 9th Stoke 24pts GD - 2 Saturday 12:45 - Wigan v Arsenal 15:00 - Tottenham v Stoke 15:00 - West Brom v Norwich Sunday 16:00 - Chelsea v Aston Villa Perfect scenario: Wigan Win Stoke Win West Brom/ Norwich draw Villa Win I think: Arsenal Win Spurs draw West Brom win Chelsea win
Whatever happens I think we need to win at the hammers and at home to wigan to keep up there they are winnable games so we should do the business... a draw with chelsea hopefully and a realistic target of 7 from 9 I reckon
please log in to view this image please log in to view this image here is the table of teams within three points... please log in to view this image I'm going for Tottenham draw West Brom defeat Arsenal draw we've got some nice fixtures there which is lucky considering who we've got.
If we win by 2 goals then we go third tomorrow? We will go fourth with a win hopefully West Brom lose and Arsenal don't win.
Jesus look at the gunners 7-3!! Lets hope Newcastle dont bounce back on Wednesday...Small matter of Chelsea first though
Weve got a fair few injuries, Paddy Power offering us at very very generous 7/1 odds (for new customers I think) if you want to get on that
