we are2 points of arse and they have to come here why are we looking behind ,i know our record against the top 6 it started a year ago against arsenal and it will end against arsenal
The way Leicester are going Arsenal are out of the title race which means they will not play with the same urgency. They like us will be happy with top 4 now. Which means it could well be an easier match than we had anticipated only a few weeks ago.

Trouble is Arsenal always go on a winning run once they can't win it and the pressure is off them.

3rd is a huge carrot to play for still. They're mostly playing sides at the bottom as well.
 
now 6 games some players coming back from injury they need to put a very big effort to get the 3rd place
 
If we can find a way to beat Arsenal at home, we will finish 3rd.

Otherwise, no chance.
 
One point margin if results go as expected next weekend, daft to get cocky about it.

Daft to get too pessimistic as well can't see rags getting much more than 67 points so 3 wins and a draw would probably be enough. Not cocky about it but quite confident.

Just them having Villa at home and us away at Chelsea (one win since 1992) and settle for a draw opens it wide open. Soton and Swansea away and Arsenal at home are not east, somehow I think it is 3rd or 5th for us.

The way I see it Arsenal toss it off every season when it comes to the business end. If anything we could be stronger with a full squad to choose from AND we have to play them at ours. We went on an unbeaten run of 8 at the end of last season. All about opinions I suppose.
 
I think the gap will probably be one point again next weekend, so not getting carried away just yet. Think this will go to the wire.

It's all ifs buts and maybe's. Anything could happen yet. I think it's fair to say we will finish somewhere between 3rd and 6th.

I think whoever wins the game against Arsenal will finish third, the fact it comes after the c/ l semi final may impact, if we are in it, I couldn't tell you which way though.
 
Three weeks since the original post
I was somewhat sure we were out of the top 4
Now I'm thinking we're in
But I'm positive it's going to the end
Maybe Sergio scoring in extra time?
