If Leicester win just 6 of the 10, they'll be on 75. And they are averaging over 2 points a game.Pellegrini has been quoted saying 9 wins (i.e. finsihing on 74 points) will be enough for Man City to win the title.

If Southampton can win at Stoke, we canWell...8 games left and my predictions for the first two of our last ten games were correct.
Looking at the next four games, we have:
Bournemouth (h)
Liverpool (a)
United (h)
Stoke (a)
I've predicted seven points from that lot (which I think would be a good return), but we're certainly capable of nine or more. Every game is going to be massive now, so we need to be clinical against Bournemouth (who are playing very well at the moment). Win that and I think we can breath a bit in terms of the CL.
Not expecting anything from the Liverpool game, so any points at Anfield will be a bonus in my opinion.
United is always a very tough game, and it's been years since we beat them at the Lane in the league. Given the way the two teams have played, we have to make sure we blitz them. Absolutely massive game for us.
Worried about Stoke, but I'd take a point.

We'll need at least 9 from those four to have a crack at winning the league IMO.
Yup. Most fixtures will be tough. Bournmouth next is very tough. I don't think we should all be thinking a loss at Chelsea. Yes we have a bad record, but everyone has beaten them this year and they are completely dogshite with nothing at all to play forI agree, but I've tried to be realistic with my predictions, and that's a tough place to go.
agree. Guess it's about getting as many wins as we can. Draws just won't do it. Without stating the obvious, we will be better with a defeat and a win than two draws. Just got to get those winsProbably.
We have must win games against: Bournemouth, West Brom, Southampton, and Newcastle. Those are the banana skins that we need to beat.
The other four games - Liverpool, United, Stoke, and Chelsea - are the ones where we will have difficulties. It's an odd one because on paper we'd be favourites against all of them, but realistically that's where points are likely to be dropped. Pick up 6 points from those games (and win all four of the games listed above) and we'll have a great chance of winning the title.
Christ it's nerve-racking! We HAVE to beat Bournemouth at the Lane. Simply have to. That would take the pressure off the Liverpool game. For me it's a bit of a free fixture (or it will be of we beat Bournemouth). Any points would be a big bonus.

Yep completely agree. Just think even been realistic we should get something from Chelsea. Liverpool I dread. Stoke I think we can do. Maybe Southampton at home worries me! Good team. Guess I'm saying how on earth do you predict. Is why I think Leicester really have easier run in. Love the fact we are talking about his with 8 games to go though! We have to cheer on every team vs Leicester now. Every point vital!I was leaning on the side of negativity with my original predictions. No reason we can't beat Liverpool or Chelsea given how we've been playing, but they're our toughest away games remaining.
I think we have a chance of the title, but we'll still have done brilliantly to finish in the top 3 (even if it might initially feel like a missed opportunity).
Just loving the experience of being at this point in the season and every match being significant.

Problem is, we seem to be up against it with soo many teams wanting to beat a team like spurs as opposed to leicester. I think we can get a result at liverpool but that game will be a lucky dip with us being at our best. Cant wait to play these games but i hate the 2/3 hours beforw they start. I get the cold sweats and cant bare it.
Like most now, i wish the dortmund game on thurs didnt exist!
The problem is where is our pressing game? It's been getting harder and harder to spot.True, and I agree with you.
However, one thing in our favour is that a lot of the teams we're playing don't really have much to play for, making it harder for them to pump themselves up to the levels necessary to match our pressing game.
