We play again Tuesday now at home to Norwich, win that would take us back a point clear of LCFC, should they win today. Then we just need to hope Sheff U do another fine job and beat/draw.
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
We have actually improved without him.
If I've calculated correctly - if Chelsea draw vs Liverpool and win the rest, whilst we win our next 3 games - we can afford to lose on the final game and still finish top 4 above Chelsea (on goal difference)?
I really don't want to go into the last game needing a result, my nerves can't take it.

Presuming that we don't win 3 games 1-0, and lose 3-0 to Leicester, while Chelsea win by 13 over their 2 victories
I dunno, you guys looked off Chelsea's level in the FA Cup without him (outside of the fast start), you looked poor at Everton until he came on, and it was all huff and puff against Arsenal until they had a man sent off.
Right now you look comfortable, but it's Bournemouth...
Leicester's goal difference is essentially a point at this point in time so Chelsea would need them to lose to Sheff Utd.
What has just gone on!
Madness. I was giving Bournemouth no chance after Vardy's goal.
Win tomorrow and we're surely home and dry.
We really should be nailed on for the CL place now, regardless of the CAS decision.
Biggest game of the season tomorrow. Win it and it’s a huge step to top three finish.....if Bournemouth hold on.
No complacency. We need to absolutely smash Southampton tomorrow. I want blood.
Perfect weekend for United
Ok yeah biggest game of the season tomorrow. Must fecking win.
Leicester have been in the top 4 since September! 
They’ve only gone & bloody bottled it!
Falling at the final hurdle. Unlucky lads

We could never haves asked for a better weekend! Bournemouth & Sheffield Utd have done us a huge favour. No excuses now, we have to win tomorrow night!
Just seen the score!
Really hope the boys handle the pressure that'll be on them tomorrow. Can't say I'm not nervous though on account of being in these positions so many times in recent years..

Leicester's GD is only 4 higher than ours now. We might actually over take their GD!
Edit: Make that 3!

!Beat Southampton by three goals and we wipe out Leicester's goal difference advantage. Saints are in great form though.
The perfect weekend, Chelsea & Leicester both lose, Liveprool screw up their perfect home record.
We may even catch Leicester's GD

Wow!
Whole team will need firing if we mess up top 4 from here. We’re being gifted it.
I'd still be happy with a point from tomorrow's game. Just get anything from that, beat Palace and West Ham and I reckon we'll just need a draw against Leicester to ensure a top 4 place. Don't see Chelsea or Leicester picking up 2 wins in their final 3 fixtures.
That's the joke mate - we're so bloody inconsistent that predictions over our results are a fool's errandSeriously?
You're going to overturn the 3-0 away?
Yes! We have to win now, come on!
Did Brendan take the bottling out of Liverpool when he left?Leicester have been in the top 4 since September!
They’ve only gone & bloody bottled it!

Chelsea & Leicester City are virtually gifting us 3rd place.
Just please capitalise on this!

Shut this game off at half time only to realise my phone was blowing up. Can't believe our luck
The day our Top 4 hopes raised themselves high
I gathered, but whilst you ARE wildly inconsistent and can beat the best on a good day, overturning a 3-0 deficit away at Bayern is a little far-fetched.
Even that 3-peat Real side or won everything Barca side would struggle to do that.
Tomorrow feels huge, we win it and we're in business. United can't blow this now, like a final. Leicester are finished, they have crumbled.
In January they were 13 points ahead of us
Fixed
I still can’t believe some of you lot thought Leicester were suddenly gonna turn it around.
After tonight that’s 5 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses in their last 19 games. My fecking lord.
I had us clear favourites for 3rd after 33 games played. Now it's essentially nailed on unless we deliver a monumental feck-up. A lot of questions will be answered about our mettle in the next five games.
All of a sudden, I can’t see leicester getting more than 3 points from their last 3
I'll take a 1-0 tomorrow night right now.
What happened to all those cocky Leicester supporters? Been a mass exodus since December
Pressure is on for tomorrow! Must win!
Donkey......
