I think we've got a better chance of winning at Chelsea than at Liverpool.

Chelsea have only won 5 games at home in the PL all year, 4 of which were against the bottom four. They've also only won once at home in the league under Hiddink.

They won't press us like Liverpool did today

Unfortunately I don't 13 points will win it for us. I think we will need change one of your defeats into a win and a draw into a win.

But, then again, I have no idea how Leicester are going to continue.
My maths is out, we need to change that defeat into a win, we might be able to afford a draw

I agree. I was trying to err on the side of pessimism with Liverpool, Stoke, and Chelsea.

So far in the final ten run-in, we're averaging exactly 2 points per game. A lot of people have said this is what we'd need to do to have a chance of winning the title. Even if Leicester win tomorrow I still think we'll close the gap.

So many people in the match day thread throwing in the towel! There's still loads of points to play for, and the team look willing to fight all the way. If we finish level with Leicester and win the title on goal difference, the point gained today won't seem like such a disaster.

Point (along with our goal difference) is also very important in keeping is above Arsenal and City. Leicester lose tomorrow and the situation will have changed.

Remember when Leicester drew with West Brom only for us, Arsensl and City to go and lose.

It's not over yet, hardest game probably out of the way, lets keep the faith.

I'm sure the players are still up for this even if Leicester win tomorrow. We only need to be 3 behind on the final day for us to be in with a chance..

Win all our remaining games we will be close to that. Here's hoping!

I'm preying we are level at least by the last game, 3pts a drift with them playing Chelsea who finally lost under Hiddink in the league today wouldn't get my hopes up, If that was the scenario I would accept 2nd spot would be our finishing spot. not sure even if Leicester were only 1 or 2 clear of us I would hold out high hopes.

its not just Chelsea fans that hate us its CHELSEA lock stock, and has been for decades if not the history since day one of both being formed.

Halfway through our last ten games, and we're a point up on what I thought we'd get.

Still think we have a chance of the title, but Leicester absolutely have to drop points against West Ham.

Bumping this one. We are overachieving on the run-in to date... the problem is Leicester are absolutely smashing it. Fair play to them, at the start of this thread people were saying 74 points would give us a really good chance of winning the title and now 80 points might not even be enough. If we do end up with anything above 74 points then I would class that as a fantastic run-in from us, regardless of what Leicester do. Proud of our lot!
