Only on paper tough fixture looks to be Leicester on the last day. Assuming we actually win all our games
Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."
- Thread starter Andy_Cole
- Start date
If we get our results.. top 4 looks very gettable..
If we stutter... and unless Wolves have a blinder, 5th is still very likely and should get the CL.
Hoping for a strong finish..

If we don't finish top four now it'll be truly embarrassing, we've every single chance now with those results tonight.
Are we actually making ground on the teams above us in a race? The good times are back!
Brilliant day for United! On top of a great one yesterday. Need to put the foot down hard on hapless Bournemouth on Saturday and pad the goal difference. Looking good...
I feared the same
I'm not getting excited just yet, i've seen too many false dawns. Nothing is secure until the last day.
Well it’s not in uniteds hand now is it? Even if we win every game we might not finish top 4.
But I take your point we have a great chance.
It's in our hands own hands now if we can make up 9 goal difference. So if we don't make CL it's only ourselves to blame.
Relax Chelsea fans. I'm sure you'll get top 4, you have much better quality than Leicester & Wolves and you are still ahead of Spurs. West Ham game was always tricky since it's London derby. Whether you'll finish above us is different story.
Wow this top 3/4 race is blown wide open now, very exciting end to the season
Technically is in our hands in a way. If we won all our games we would surely make up the 9 GD.
That's why it's important when we are winning we go for the throat.
Lets get this party started! The top 4 race is getting REALLY interesting after tonights results.
Top 4, even top 3 is full realistic now. Lets go for 3rd.
Also, Rudiger is such a bad defender. That 3rd goal made him look like a real donkey. Is he really a CB? I thought he prefered DM..

I think United winning in style yesterday might have put a little something in Leicester and Chelsea heads.
Get in.
Leicester have to play Arsenal and Tottenham away too, before facing us.
Everything's coming up Solskjaer.

Destiny in our own hands.
should be looking at near max points from the next 5 matches.
then finish with Chelsea at home and Leicester away.
should be aiming for 3rd now.

Great set of results, game on now.
Same but if fifth be ones a CL spot and we get that k won't really care.
As it stands:
I reckon we are gonna get 3rd.
| Position | Played | Goal Dif | Points | |
| 3rd | Leicester | 32 | +29 | 55 |
| 4th | Chelsea | 32 | +13 | 54 |
| 5th | Man Utd | 32 | +20 | 52 |
| 6th | Wolves | 32 | +11 | 52 |
I reckon we are gonna get 3rd.
Hope we can keep winning games. If we do then we have a great chance to get in top 4.
Chelsea is FA Cup dude
Still fancy us taking Leicester's spot over Chelsea's, but fecked if I care which one falls as long as one of them does. I've been hurt too much over the last few years to get too excited, but our form looking like it does I'm so pumped for seeing how we finish.
Yeah, given our fixtures and form there really are no excuses.
But we might not, so technically it’s not in our hands because if we were to qualify by GD it would mean Leicester win all their remaining games and lose to us.
But it’s semantics my man, we have an amazing chance now!
Superb couple of days.
One game at a time though, drill Bournemouth at home, and hope the rivals slip up again.

Saturday
15:00 Leicester vs Palace
15:00 United vs Bournemouth
17:30 Wolves vs Arsenal
20:00 Chelsea vs Watford
Should be above Chelsea before they kick off and hopefully right on Leicester should their slump continue.

I'll put that absolute horlicks of a post down to delirium at tonight's result.
Good to be finally in control of our destiny, here on.
Leicester still got to play likes of Arsenal, Spurs, Sheffield and us. No way they're getting even two wins out of that.
I dont see anything to fear from this Chelsea side apart from pulisic running at the defence. Thier balls into the box also seem to be great but apart from that player wise theres nothing to get excited about.
Leicester have a tough run and will definitely drop more points. We have to get top 4 now!

Arsenal having a slight resurgence, but to say the least any dropped points in the other two games will be massively unexpected!
I'd say we're odds on for 3rd at the moment. Wouldn't be surprised at all if we bag 18 points from our remaining games considering our recent form. Leicester and Palace away are the only potential stumbling blocks, but we should be winning against Palace and Leicester look completely out of form. Other than that we have Southampton at home and three relegation candidates. Both Chelsea and Leicester have considerably harder run-ins.
Shit just got interesting
Chelsea are now only 2 points ahead of us and are going to face both Liverpool & Wolves before the end of the season. United on the other hand should really be winning their remaining games other than Leicester (who judging by their post-lockdown performances, look beatable by United). So while we still have to win all our remaining games, at least now our performances alone will decide our fate.
And besides, even if we do end up in 5th, at least we still have the Europa League as a backup plan. Something neither Chelsea or Leicester have...
Top 4 is now in our hands! Win every game with good GD and CL is back!
factually incorrect. Try looking at the league table again.
Jaysus autocorrect did me dirty there
Be fantastic to finish in the top 4 and not have to get in via the back door of city’s ban. Need to keep this momentum and have top 4 wrapped up by the time we play Chelsea.
No really because for it to come down to goal difference Leicester and Chelsea would have to win all but one too.
