After we lost to Burnley on the 22nd January we were 14 points behind Leicester and their GD was 21 better.
It's been an absolutely remarkable collapse by them.

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 need to get third. No excuses.
To be fair, we have done them a favour, they thanked us for not making scoreline looking embarrassing, we keep it at 3 goals margin only as long as they can do us favour for other top 4 rivals.
If we get 3rd this season it's an almighty feck you from the club and Ole to pretty much everyone and I cant fecking wait.
I want 3rd! Come on United, win all the league games!
Any word on how long Maddison is out for?
14...In January they were 13 points ahead of us
After 25 games:
1 | Liverpool FC | 25 | 24 | 1 | 0 | 60:15 | 45 | 73 |
2 | Manchester City | 25 | 16 | 3 | 6 | 65:29 | 36 | 51 |
3 | Leicester City | 25 | 15 | 4 | 6 | 54:26 | 28 | 49 |
4 | Chelsea FC | 25 | 12 | 5 | 8 | 43:34 | 9 | 41 |
5 | Tottenham Hotspur | 25 | 10 | 7 | 8 | 40:32 | 8 | 37 |
6 | Sheffield United | 25 | 9 | 9 | 7 | 26:23 | 3 | 36 |
7 | Manchester United | 25 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 36:29 | 7 | 35 |
Top 4 will still be extremely difficult, it's in the hands of Man Utd now of course but I still can see United dropping at least 3 points yet (hoping it's not the case) but you can't write off any team in the league.
Hopefully Liverpool beat Chelsea, and Tottenham take points from Leicester.
It's looking promising, hoping for silverware on-top of that.

Look if Spurs or Arsenal were 14 points clear like Leicester were, we'd be calling them bottlers.
Leicester have collapsed.
Leicester have collapsed.
A game of 2 halves. Can’t believe how Leicester have imploded
FT 4-1.
FT 4-1.
City lose their appeal and Wolves, Sheff Utd and Spurs all still have a shot to get Leicester. Leicester have Sheff Utd, Spurs and Man Utd to finish...
We need focus. Let's get the job done and get top 3.
I have a feeling that the city ruling will mean it doesn't matter anyway!

3rd place is our if we want it because it doesn’t look like either Chelsea or Leicester want it!
and we have been brilliant
Bloody Hell, we are 3-Nil FC these days. Please do that tomorrow again. Please God
I wanted to laugh, then I remember the Scousers ended their 30yr wait.
I`ll genuinely be shocked if we lose any PL game
Southampton will be tough but we are at home and the lads after this weekend`s results will be turned up 100%
Crystal Palace are really really poor with nothing to play for even if we rotate/not win a draw is the worst we can get
West Ham will be at home and they will have nothing to play for as they`ll be safe I`ll be shocked if we even draw
Leicester have been appalling since January and will be without 2/3 key players like Palace worst result I see is a draw
Holy fecking shit. The old gods and the new are smiling upon us. Earlier this season when other teams fecked up we didn’t make use of that opportunity. Tomorrow is our biggest opportunity yet. Let’s not implode like the other teams around us. Please go 3rd even if it’s only for 24 hours.
Any win will do!!
Extremely difficult? Are you living in December or something
We need to win tommorow no excuses
They've just reverted to the mean. Rodgers came in and they outperformed in all areas, now they've levelled out to their true ability.
Great results for us. Thanks Sheffield & Bournemouth From here on, we have a clear path to finish 3rd unless if we screw it up big time. I see our players being very positive and I see us finishing 3rd comfortably. Let's go boys.

Goodness me. Capitulation FC
Down with that type of thing in hereI wanted to laugh, then I remember the Scousers ended their 30yr wait.
Leicester have only got 21 points in the last 19 games. Surely no top 4 team has ever had a run like that over that many games and still finished in top 4. Still could of course but its absolutely remarkable the extremity of their results.
Can we win by half a goal tomorrow? I'll take 0.5 - 0
Even Spurs were above us.You sure about that fam?
With the weekend results it's likely we can afford to drop points in 1 of our final 4 games.
But we have to make sure we win tomorrow to really pile the pressure on.

It would be absolutely amazing if Sheff Utd got into the CL, but even Wolves would be fun.
Imagine if both Chelsea and Leicester drop out

Our run in incl tomorrow is no gimme either. West Ham will still be chasing points. CP can be tough.
The Saints tomorrow though is job #1.

How far are we off liverpool? What fixtures have they got left?!
What is it with the Chavs & Leicester, looks like they don't want CL football next year.
That was hilarious. Dom Solanke dunking on Leicester
Anything less than 3rd would be hugely disappointing now
Sickening to think Chelsea might potentially go unpunished for their loss this weekend.
