At least it's still in our hands.

We're going to have to be super clinical in our remaining games and try to kill teams off as early as possible. That's going to be difficult though with Champions League and FA Cup games in the mix but Liverpool are in the same situation.
Scousers high defensive line was all out of sink today and if (*big if) Kane and Son can continue in their rich vein of form then they will cause them problems. Apart from Spurs can't see any other potential dropped points.
 
Away games.

Hopefully Leeds are done? Nothing to play for. Bottom 3 gone.

Same with West Ham and Wolves. CL gone.

Get on the beach you...
Mmm not quite
Burnley 9 behind Leeds but 2 games in hand
Personally I think that bottom 3 will go down, Everton not quite out of it but I think they will stay up.
Leeds probably need 1 more win, West Ham and Wolves still vying for europa spots so can't say all the teams we still face are on the beach
That said the home games on paper are friendly to us.
 
So the 4 home matches take care of themselves.
That leaves Leeds, West Ham & Wolves away, the latter either side of the fa cup final, if we win on Saturday. I suppose what I’m getting at, is a loss on Saturday would still have a (very small) silver lining for me.
All 3 of those away games we’ll need to be full on it.
Yep the Leeds one is tricky and west ham could be.

I think Leeds probably need one more result but will be targeting other games for it. Personally can’t see it being difficult for you.
 
The 3 away games look like potential banana skins to me, against 3 teams in good form. The home games on paper look a bit more straight forward, but who knows.

Personally, i see us dropping 4-6 points between now and the end of the season.
7 straight wins for us that, it’s what we do in a final straight under Pep when we need to.

Now would he a great time for Manchester United to get one of their world famous draws.



I think the FA cup semifinal will have a big psychological impact. They got away with not being 4 points behind today, and we both know it. If we beat them, asserts that.
