The top 4 race isn't done over a weekend. What we have shown over the last 3 games is that we have more in the tank than any of our rivals at a key stage of the season.
I trust us to drop less points over the remainder of the season than any of those around us so I'm sure we will be fine.

That's it. In fact, we've basically been better than Chelsea the entire time since they defeated us in August. Good thing there are a few matches left and one of them includes Chelsea.

Not sure that's a good thing. A game on the bridge is never easy, no matter how good we are, or how poor they are. We saw that two years ago.
It will come down to fine margins this season. I think pool/us/united and chelsea will be neck and neck.
United have a lot of big games at old trafford and they have a points advantage as it stands but they will need that cushion because they and chelsea are very poor right now.
Also we will have to see how we all go in the cl. I think united and pool will defo progress so they could be affected as i dont think there squads can cope.

Not the point, I'm not saying it's easy. I'm saying it's in our own hands, which are two different things. One way to get top 4 is to trail Chelsea and then beat them. Just having it as an option is great (as opposed to beating them and still not overtake them on the table).

This is key, and the FA Cup . I just went through and wrote out potential cup dates integrated into our league fixtures and it really makes things look different. All ifs and buts , of course, but - 2 eg's- if we get past Juventus we would play the QF 3 days after the Chelsea match . If we beat Rochdale, our league game against Newcastle is postponed as we will play an FA Cup Cup qf. Of course this applies to all our rivals so I am just pointing out that the picture could be very different after Juventus/Rochdale and the equivalent games for the other sides.

It would be lovely if they sank like a stone and we could really focus on the cups for the rest of the season. Its Chelsea though, things are never that simple. The match tomorrow will tell us a lot.

I expect them to win tomorrow, they'll find a way. But away to United then City after, we'll be above them proper in the table by then.
Fully fit squad couldn't of come at a better time for us now, we'll be able to cope no problem.

Previously I thought we’d still finish anywhere between second and sixth. Now I think it’s second and fifth. I really couldn’t place us at the moment.

We did so well the last 2 weeks but I just wished we’d of beaten Liverpool. It was probably the one out of the three that would have been best to win. Not getting a defeat was massive though.
