Diego Llorente staying fit been massive for Leeds, they've only conceded 11 goals in their last 13 games and many of those have been v the top 8 so he's had a Ruben Dias influence on them given he only played twice up to February.

Hope West Ham steps up today. 3 losses in last 4 games, they should win all 3 games to have any chance of top 4. Hopefully they do.

Leeds have 53 points this season. Last season they were in the Championship.
If City fail to win the CL then Biesla is my manager of the year. Its incredible what he has done with the squad that he has at his disposal. Recently he has also shown flexibility. He approached our second game very differently knowing that their usual game plan would likely get them battered.

Cheers Danny boy! lovely finish.
Looking at the table you guys likely no longer need favours. Basically if you win your last 3 games then you are in top 4 unless a scenario plays out that you end up level on points with Leicester but lose out on goal difference (which is close to impossible). Very much in your own hands now.

Still fecking pissed our boys didn't turn up on Thursday and handed top 4 to the scouse cnuts. Liverpool will now have a Champions League budget as opposed to a Europa one and will be a force again next season.

To be fair Chelsea fecked up against Arsenal too. I'm disappointed in us of course but Chelsea had it in their own hands regardless of our result. Liverpool willl be stronger next year again no doubt. If our owners pull their fingers out though and we get 3-4 of the right signings then I don't think we are far off that level either. Here's hoping they drop points somewhere in the next 3.

Its not close to impossible at all? Liverpool currently has a worse GD than Leicester do. A few 1 goal wins to Liverpool and Leicester are still in it.

Well that would likely mean Leicester lose to Chelsea and beat Spurs. It will all depend on the margins in the last games but Liverpool's run in suggests they are better place to run up at least one big result. Otherwise if Chelsea drop points to Leicester then they are depending on Liverpool to drop points too. I'd have Liverpool as favourites for top 4 now while taking results into consideration.

It is but we needed West Ham to drop points here tonight else they would have gone back above us again. Also with them dropping points here depending on the final day it should give Spurs belief to try and beat Leicester so they can finish above West Ham and avoid this dreaded Conference League.

Liverpool havent run up a result in a long time though. They have to stay compact to protect their CBs.

Yeah fair point of course but I worry at the fact that the teams they play have so little to play for. Hopefully your right and they miss out.
