So we are in that top 4 now.

Chelsea play city next game.

We play Huddersfield at home (wembley)

Those insurmountable two points they have on us...

Next week will be crucial. We host Huddersfield, Chelsea go to City.

If we can stretch the gap to 5 points then that would really crank the pressure up for them, which is exactly what we want.

Don't think we'll catch Liverpool personally. Draw ideal but will take a Chelsea loss.
Uhm.... With us kicking off before them next week against Huddersfield at home. We really should be ahead of them by 3 o clock next Saturday.

We only need to finish fourth...would be nice to be 2nd or 3rd but makes no difference really. Therefore we only need to get ahead of one team and we are now there. 2 pts clear with Chelsea away to Man City next wkend. Could be 4 or 5 clearafter that if all goes well. The away game at Chelsea is a must not lose. When we play city they should have the league won. Looking at Liverpool fixtures they will take some catching , apart from the away to Man U game and the 2nd last game away to Chelsea .

It is why our game today was so big.

Liverpool only 2 points ahead of us in 2nd.

We need to keep getting results.

Come on ManU and Chelsea. 18 mins more and the perfect result for us. Looking at the next 3 matches we could really consolidate top 4

It will go down to the last couple of games. Think we have a great chance though.

They play Man Utd in two weekends time. We've got Huddersfield and Bournemouth. Win them both and we could quite easily be third with a five point cushion over Chelsea in fifth.

Next 3 games Huddersfield , Bournemouth , Newcastle. If we get 9 out of 9 points we can even take a draw at Bridge, to be well ahead of Chelsea. I can’t see Chelsea getting a win away next at City.

With Shitty basically already through against Basel there's no need for them to keep players fresh for the following week either.

While i agree, i hope the players don't think that way.

Today was a massive result but so is Huddersfield.

Teams playing for their premier league lives!!

How quickly people forget...we need to finish 3rd absolutely minimum.
