What 2 do you see dropping out?
I don't fancy going into the last game looking for a win.

Definitely Chelsea, and even though they won last night which I wasn’t expecting but probably should have Forest the other one. Then again we win tonight Villa have a couple of tricky away games so if we win Villa instead of Forest could miss out.

Its very up in the air.
I definitely can't call it. A red card, an unfortunate own goal or a bad refereeing decision could be fatal for any team
Chelsea and Forest play each other in last matchday too.
 
Not only was tonight huge in terms of putting distance between ourselves and Villa, it was great to win what is in effect (due to the rescheduling of the fixtures as a result of the semi finals) the first game of the weekend. We know from the title races we’ve been involved in that playing first and getting the points on the board can mean a nice psychological advantage.
And additionally, we play each of our next two PL games (Wolves and Southampton) before any of our top five rivals play on either of those weekends. So decent chances of turning the screw even more.
 
Well, that makes life a hell of a lot easier. We didn't need to win it, but we did.

Chances of qualifying up from 87% to 95%.

I'll say it again - 65 points.

A win. A draw. Maybe two. That's all we need.

should be aiming for 70, anything else is on dodgy ground given the fixtures

Chelsea's remaining games...
Everton H
Liverpool H
Newcastle A
Rags H
Forest A


Villa's remaining games...
Fulham H
Bournemouth A
Spurs H
Rags A

Newcastle's remaining games...
Ipswich H
Brighton A
Chelsea H
Arsenal A

Max possible points for Villa now is 69, so if we hit 70.. we're good for top 5!

So 3 more wins.. c'mon City!!!

Newcastle and Chelsea need to play each other so one of them will finish below us by default!
 
have a feeling Moyes is gonna upset Maresca and Chelsea on Saturday, dont forget Chelsea messed up their home game vs Ipswich very recently and that two points is huge now if you look at the table.
Everton is much better side and harder too than Ipswich. if they dig deep and sit deep they can frustrate Chelsea and get something from set pieces.

Barcodes likely not messing up vs Ipswich at home unless pressure gets to them.
