I think the Bernardo v Palace from a yard out and Mahrez misses will cost us to be honest.

Far too profligate in front of goal. And it usually comes back to haunt us.
 
If I was to bet on any team to win all these remaining games and carry it over the line, it'd be Pep's City.

Anything can happen, that's what makes sport exciting, but there's no better squad for this challenge than ours.
 
it never works out the way it should on paper,either spurs or united may take them for a draw,not holding my breath for united but again you just never know, the next two game are going to drain them at least we can rotate a bit more than them
It never does, I doubt anyone predicted it would be Brighton and Brentford to tke points off liverpool, nor Palace and southampton against us. I'm sure they will drop points and maybe we will too but it could easily be the most unlikely game on paper it happens in.
 
Spurs will certainly give them a game and have gone close at Anfield the last couple of times.

I actually have some belief United will turn up and get a point next week, being so soon after Liverpool play us at Wembley.

I think our main struggles will be Watford on the counter at home and Wolves away, as they don't concede easily.
They are a good team but united, Everton and spurs will go there to take points however unlikely
Villa Southampton and Newcastle away are tough games
It’s a build up, they only have to be off it once, a sending off or bad luck
wolves at home will be easy
 
Wolves away is the one I'd be most worried about, although less so without Traore.

Leeds away too as you know their fans will be up for it.

The other 5 I'm less worried about.

West Ham away could be hard but I'm hoping they go all the way in the Europa League and rest up in the league.

Brutal fixture list but exactly where we'd want it to be in April / May.


To add to this earlier post the Europa League Final is May 18th.

So I think if West Ham go through on Thursday (to the Europa League semis) and we go through on Saturday (to the FA Cup Final), the West Ham (A) will probably be Wed 11th May and Wolves (A) will be the 17/18th May.
