Surely it’s 7 points

8 to be sure, but united won't catch us on goal difference.

Here's an updated version of my post on p347

Using the form guide:
In our last 5 matches we've picked up 12
In Utd last 5 matches, they've picked up 15 points.

In the whole of the season our worst run of form was 8 points over 5 games which is exactly the number of games remaining. We'd end up on 85 if that happened again.
United's best run over the season was 15 points over 5 games . 84 points. I think with them having Liverpool Villa (who'll have Grealish back) and Leicester, that's an impossible ask with Roma away in there too.

Order of fixtures is below.

25-04-21 LeedsvsManchester United
(We have Carabao 25th April)

(We have PSG 28th April)
(United have Roma 29th)

01-05-21 Crystal PalacevsManchester City
02-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsLiverpool (just been moved to Sunday!)

(We have PSG Tuesday 4th May)
(United have Roma away 6th May)

08-05-21 Manchester CityvsChelsea
09-05-21 Aston VillavsManchester United (just been moved to Sunday!)

11-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsLeicester
12-05-21 Newcastle UnitedvsManchester City

15-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsFulham
15-05-21 BrightonvsManchester City

23-05-21 Wolverhampton WanderersvsManchester United

Matters not one jot. You can speculate, postulate s all you want, we need to win 3 more games
