Aren't playing but tonight is a very important night Man Uniteds top 4 chances. It will be in Uniteds hands if Chelsea, Leicester slip up but if both win the top 3,4 spots will be Leicester and Chelseas to lose with 4 games to play.

Think Chelsea will win and Leicester will be dicked by Arsenal. Reckon it'll be Leicester's spot we'll be taking in the top four come the end of the season.

Maddison out would be nice but watch Vardy getting his usual goal againt us... I think it's going to be a nervous draw but would love a win to keep that 1% chance at fifth. :angel:

Massive night for top 4 race, palace have been shite recently so Chelsea will take all 3 points, need Arsenal to do us a favour (again) and get a win on Leicester, going into the game against Villa knowing we can go into top 4 will be a massive boost.

Unlikely we get in anyway unless both Arsenal & United win heavily.

Come on mate! Irrespective of Spurs having had a poor season, Chelsea have done well to be where they are. They lost Hazard and hired Lampard as their manager. No one expected Tammy Abraham and Mount and the likes to even get close to the points total they had last year (72). By most predictions, most people were of the opinion that they'd finish 6th-7th with around 60-62 points, and the voices became louder after they lost 4-0 to us.
Sure, Chelsea may still drop out of top 4, but let's give them credit that they've performed slightly above expectations
Last year they weren't setting the league on fire and if I'm not mistaken, they'd need to win 5/5 games now to match that tally.

And no, the prediction most made were top 4, so it's just an estimation that Chelsea would finish outside fo that.

Neville and Charrager for example had Chelsea just missing out, with Everton as the push for top 6. The point I'm making is, most of these pundits had tipped Chelsea to end outside of the top 4. If Lampard finishes 5th by seasons end, that doesn't mean he's overachieved shit.

I’m hoping Soton used up all their luck against City and everything we hit goes in. That could be a banana skin, also hoping West Ham are pretty much safe by the time we play them.
A player of Antonio's type could cause problems for our defence on the counter

Chelsea seems to be grinding out wins on relatively bad days like today. Will be interesting to see how Leicester perform today. Lets hope they bounce back to their point-dropping ways of late.

We wont be top four this week, I guess we have to just win our game and wait for next week. We are running out of games sadly.
Arsenal be useful for once.

United still have to play palace at home, not an easy game
If they attack us like the way they did Chelsea today, we will batter them. Unfortunately they will put 100men in their sixteen box.

Chelsea seem to be doing just enough to keep top 4, probably.

Fecking Palace man

Think Chelsea are gonna lose to Liverpool, so win all our games and we'll finish above them. But we probably won't.

Need Arsenal to do us another favour now

I respect Leicester for how well they have done with limited resources but I'm seriously wanting them to lose today

We look better than Chelsea right now, just need to keep winning. Arsenal are second in the form table (behind us) so hopefully they can do us a favour tonight.
