We have 10 matches left this season and if we win our game in hand of Chelsea we are just 7 points behind them.
They are currently in 4th place.
Keep in mind we have to play them also - beating them makes that 4 points.
We also play Everton, Liverpool - vital games.
One of the teams we need to catch is West ham - again VITAL to beat them today.
IMO, a top 4 place in the PL is still achievable - but we'll need to win the vast majority of our remaining 10 games.
If we win them all we're almost certain to get 4th.
The Run In
West Ham away
Liverpool home
Sheff Utd away
Fulham home
Everton home
Newcastle away
West Brom home
Chelsea away
Crystal Palace away
Brighton home
All of these games are winnable.
If we won 9 of them we'd end the season on 68 points
that is 17 points more than Chelsea have right now - and they only have 9 games left - 17 points from 9 games is not easy .. it's more points per game than they have achieved this season to date...add to that one of the games is against us as mentioned.. if they lose it they'd need 17pts from 8 games.
I think we're still in the top 4 race - at least for now , BUT we'll need to win 9 of our last 10 AND beat West Ham, Everton, Liverpool and Chelsea in the run in. Tough, but not out of reach.
Lose today of course and it's very very hard to see it happening.
Got to start NOW.
