Yeah, but the only tough games in that run will be PSG and Arsenal away, the rest (Palace, Southampton) should be manageable with the squad that we have.
Palace recently beat City, Chelsea and nearly beat Liverpool though.
Don't West Ham have a decent record at OT in recent years? There are hit and miss as a team but have some dangerous players upfront so could add that to the skins.
You think we’ll lose them all then and our rivals will win every one of their games? You have to take one at a time, I expect us to beat Liverpool and Chelsea at least. Arsenal will he there for the taking too, as usual.
On current form, I would fancy us against most teams at home. Certainly against a team like Chelsea. Chelsea themselves look like dropping points against any half-decent side away from home, so they could easily drop points against all of Liverpool, Everton, Leicester and us. I also fancy us against Arsenal at the Emirates, we've done them on their pitch time and time again. It'll be a challenge but you're seriously lacking any sort of faith if you can't see a top 4 finish with the way we're playing at the moment.
other than that it seems fine, although maybe Everton away these days is a 2 due to their horrible home record.Last time they beat us at OT, Solskjaer started the match. They did get a draw in 2015. They will be tough and can't really underestimate them like Burnley.
I'd argue you also have to take into account the form of United, Chelsea & Arsenal when considering the difficulty rating. United might find Everton away easier than Arsenal or Chelsea based on current form for example.
Just based on it being a derby really.Just looking at this one and it seems a bit off.
Fulham away (a doomed side, let's be fair) as difficult a fixture as Wolves at home? We lost to Wolves at home, Chelsea lost away, they give the big six a game. Cardiff away easier than Fulham away as well? Based on what?
Sorry, I'm being too critical
Where's the positivity! We're going to finish 3rd!
You'll finish fourth, comfortably.
To be fair going by the fixtures list we're less likely to make it on paper. Good thing football isn't just about what's on paper though and Arsenal and Chelsea are in terrible form. Time will tell but I for one am holding back on the ''top 4 secure'' comments until its mathematically sealed.
We'll see about that, 12 games is 36 points. I'm confident teams above us won't win them all, neither will we but I think we'll lose less.
No offense mate, but I think what you mean to say is losing in the big away games. Not sure what bottling got to do with losing away to City, Liverpool or Chelsea. Anyway, we did beat Chelsea last year at Stamford Bridge, and we might do so again if their form continue like this.

Personally I'm very invested in the Top 4 battle because I think it would be disastrous for Man United to miss the CL. Or, at least, it would have been a while ago with the Martial, De Gea contract situation and Pogba's uncertain future. Furthermore, the squad needs serious investment this summer and the prospect of Europa League football wouldn't help at all.
Yeah but it was looking like our worst season, maybe of the PL era. Until Ole came in. Top 4 looked gone, which was a disaster & PSG looked impossible.
Yeah, pretty much.
When do we play Chelsea at OT? That's going to be the crucial six-pointer in my opinion.
Currently down as 27th April (MD36) but that'll probably change when the televised matches are announced. Our last two matches are Huddersfield away and Cardiff at home, Chelsea are home to Watford and away to Leicester with Arsenal at home to Brighton and away to Burnley. Chelsea definitely have the hardest last few matches.
Two actually, if you count Chelsea at SB for the FA.
Last season was fairly crap. I know we finished 2nd but it seemed like every goal we scored was either jammy, ugly or the result of awful defending. It was a chore of a season and you didn’t know what team was going to come out or how we were going to play. No real standout memories aside from the City comeback and maybe a few other moments.
Got it, lots of things could change between now and then.
I think you spurs fans should worry more about winning silverware than hitting nails but thats just me. We're fighting for top 4 but still won more trophies in our worst years. Except for, of course, your 'almost won it from leicester' trophy.
Arsenal would drop a lot of points in their 3s which are all aways
