The Title Race 2022/23

[the blue panther]

Everton away worries me as does Brighton away. Think we will have enough otherwise. Only real reason Everton concerns me is the timing of the fixture

Brighton have done well this season but all their harder games are coming at the end of the season, and they've looked pretty shite to me lately.

Everton look shite most of the time, and even though they beat Brighton 5-1, that game could have been a 5 all draw. Pickford was fantastic - 3 worldies - and Brighton chose their reserve goalie who had a stinker and kicked one in himself!

So, I'm expecting City to struggle a bit, but win comfortably in the end, and Arsenal to batter Brighton. If Everton have any injury doubts, Dyche will save the player for 2 much more winnable games coming up for them, but I think they'll be safe anyway.

not expecting anything other than a win at Everton but this is football and the unexpected can happen, we have a loss or two draws in the bank so whatever the result in this game we come out with it still in our hands with 3 to play while arsenal reduce to 2 after their match

Good point about Dyche’s mindset regarding team selection. Everton’s games after playing us are Wolves (away) and Bournemouth (home) - two teams that will very possibly be on the beach by then. That’s where he’ll be looking to pick up whatever points they may need.

How many points can we afford to drop, assuming arsenal get the maximum 9 points

Arsenals maximum is 90 points,
We have 82 so 9 points guarantees it, 8 should do it on goal difference.
So we need either 3 wins, or 2 wins+2 draws.

4? Would win it on goal difference. 3? Would win it. I think.

4 will be fine. That involves us winning twice and drawing twice, and there's absolutely no way Arsenal can turn around a deficit of at least 16 goals in three games.

Ederson sent off, no more subs available...
Walker scores and then saves in the penalty shoot-out to win the CL final.
History is made.

Three, two, one aaaaand you're back in the room. *clicks fingers*

And, given in the event we win 2 and draw 2, we will have added at least +2 to our GD, if they did make up the deficit in three games, there would need to be an investigation in to match fixing.

16 plus takes into account (and assumes) two single goal victories (and two draws) x

There is no way they are making that up (and most likely much more, on the basis of two wins and two draws) over three games.
