Arsenal have got City coming up soon so hopefully we can gain some advantage there. Chelsea have a couple of cup games (one being Spurs) then away to Bournemouth next so who knows, we could be level on points in 4th by the end of the month.
Both. 18 pts from 18 whilst teams around us a dropping points all over the place. Still a big ask but Burnley at home in the league next...similar to today, should be another 3 pts
With 6 straight league wins on the bounce I'd say we are definitely climbing.
The rankings are largely irrelevant. The gap has been cut from 11 to 3, which is the only relevant stat.
Still 6th though, could have been a boost to be rewarded with a positional change after this run
For me, I’ve always maintained that I have no interest in what Arsenal do. Unless they become 4th. We are chasing Chelsea, not them, so any points dropped by the 4th place team is ideal. Better to be 3 off 4th than 4 off 4th.
Find and replace Chelsea with Spurs and you’re spot on.
As the cliche goes though Chelsea's GD counts as a point so whether we're 3 points off them or 4 we need them to drop points in at least 2 more games
They probably saw spurs as a threat for third rather than us for fourth
That’s true, although the GD gap is not insurmountable either. Gap is 8 now, think we can close that, especially as Chelsea have no striker.
It still doesn't make sense. Third doesn't get you anything more than fourth.
There's 15 games left! A 2-0 won at Old Trafford cuts that in half on its own.
Look at Arsenal's next five. I can see them being above Chelsea in a months time. Man. United could well be aswell with the obvious momentum you guys have now.
