Doubt it. I would wager Villa will get 70 and if they don't then Liverpool will. We have to expect one of them to get 70 imho, which would leave us 2 points shy (we'll need 71 due to goal difference).

not when we do the rags 6-0 at our gaffe.

Er, "unlikely", but I like your thinking!

Here's a breakdown of the remaining fixtures for all four contenders for fourth:

There's a mistake in it.

They have Villa as down to play United (which they don't) and they have missed off the Villa v Chelsea game.

Good catch. It's been fixed.

And the math wasn't affected, as @Chelsea and @United have the some average opponent point haul this season.

I think that the fact that we play against some of the better footballing sides definitely works in our favour - our results have been good against the better sides - we strugggle against the hoofers and cloggers.

I tip us to beat the Rags at home again, but if I had to choose between drawing or losing to the Rags and 4th spot, or thrashing them 4-0 or 5-0 and ending up 5th or 6th, which would I choose?

beaten by the rags if youv'e got a brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow obv 4th is the holy grail this season

16-20 points is what we will get depending if we get luck or not. i think a lot of teams will unexpectedly lose points as the season goes on.

People who think we are going to draw at burnley and sunderland are taking the piss. Sunderland havent won a game since october? And burnley can hardly score and they lost to portsmouth FFS!!

only half taking the p at the moment

It's looking likely (with the fixture reshuffle for Spurs and Everton) that we'll have a run of 5 games involving Man Utd,Everton,Arsenal,Spurs and Villa consecutively!

Gulp !

I think we need over 70 points so another 24 should do it , fingers crossed .

Les would've guaranteed eleven points from that!
