Such a big drop off in quality after the top 2. Whoever gets the final 2 CL places are just the best of a bad bunch.

Wolves have everything to play for chasing Europa League. Hopefully fatigue and a good spanking today affect Chelsea.

Would be hilarious if we got CL at their expense.
That'd mean us losing against Leicester.. Not sure anyone would want that scenario.

Would rather be leading till the 80th minute.. and if Chelsea are dead and buried by then, we can collapse.

Not even a passing comment questioning Allison for that goal after Carragher laying into Kepa for all 3 of Liverpool's :lol:

VVD was rubbish for that Giroud goal.

But its VVD, his mistakes don't count :confused:

Wolves need a win to stay ahead of Spurs for EL too. They'll be at the races for sure.

If Wolves are creaming Chelsea and we're drawing by half time I suspect it'll be the mother of all draws at Old Trafford.
We are away to Leicester?

5th and 6th.

But it depends on whether Arsenal can win the FA Cup. If they don't then 7th comes available, but that won't be until after the end of the season.

One more conceded Chelsea goal and they are on par with Brighton in 16th. It's great Liverpool's winning, but god so frustrating how we could've secured top-4 today, with a scrappy win.
It was not possible for us secure top 4 today, whatever the results.

Does 7th get Europa? Or just 5th and 6th?

If finishing 6th is important, Wolves will be up for it.
Depends who wins FA Cup. If Chelsea win, then 7th place gets Europa. Else Arsenal will get in Europa along with 5th and 6th ranked teams. 6th place team will have to start from qualifying round as well in that case so there is enough on line for Wolves to go for a win.

True but the CL cash helps to try and bridge the gap. We are under no illusion that being in the CL means we can win it. We can't. Nowhere near good enough.

If they lose today and against Wolves then a draw with us and Leicester will have us 3rd and Leicester 4th.

Does it? If we draw with Leicester we are on 64 and they’re on 63. 2 Chelsea losses has them on 63 with a worse GD...

Chelsea have conceded 52 goals, that's just brilliant.

Does Chelsea losing do anything for us?
No. You still need a draw last game at minimum. If we draw v Wolves and you do against Leicester, we both qualify. If we lose to wolves, you can lose, too

Without sounding too arrogant, i think utd and chelsea have got it

Do we cement top 4 if Chelsea lose today?

Edit: Never mind. I don't know what I was thinking really. There is one more game to go.

If Chelsea lose, our result doesn’t matter. Wolves are a good side, better defensively and pressure will be on.
