How many points to win the league?

Festive fixtures killed United hopefully cup commitments will do the same to Chelsea
There is a high chance that Chelsea will go out of the champions league in the next round which means they will be more focused on the league compared to us (assuming we get past Basle).
 
The most Chelsea can get is 96 pts.
Our target then is 97 pts.
35 pts from 16 games + Chelsea & Utd can't afford to drop a single point.

The top 6 fixtures are brutal for our rivals when the important months arrive. So important that we get the Liverpool and Arsenal games dealt with early. Forget unbeaten runs, get the points lead extended and rests players around Basle, Bristol, and Burnley ready for strong run-in when Foden and Jesus, and possibly Mendy can really force some silverware over the line.

Get the points lead extended and rest players for the 3 cups we still have to play for,what a load of bollocks.
Do people not want to win as many trophies as possible,this is what we will be judged on historically.
The league is as good as won barring a catastrophe so we have a bit of leeway there and if anything should be concentrating on the cups with a careful eye on our lead in the league.

Absolutely agree with this. The League is all but won,

I personally think winning the Premier League and Champions League in the same season is near impossible now, let alone the two domestic cups as well.

That said I doubt a team will ever have a better chance of getting close than we have. It would take near relegation form from now to the end of the season to mess the league up, we are in the semi of one domestic cup facing a decent Championship team and the last 16 of the Champions League with about the best draw we could have asked for. The FA Cup gives us a tricky one on Saturday but its at home and we should get through.

The chances are slim very slim but whilst its possible given where we are in the league we should go flat out to try and win the lot.
