40 points is perhaps not enough. So 36 points is almost sure to be not enough.We could stay up with as little as 34 pts, but 36 should be enough.

Yes I think soDoes the Cup game count as one?
Believe so, Dave
Take those results overall- an unexpected point for Southampton but we’ll be playing Man United without Casemiro which significantly weakens their midfield. I thought West Ham would win today. Keeps us in 15th with only us and Bournemouth winning out of the bottom 9 so far this weekend.
There's 4 of the 4 wins we need there.I am not sure where these 4 wins are going to come from looking at home games v spurs, Fulham, Newcastle, man City, Bournemouth, can't see winning all at home so this season going to have to pick up more points on the road. Do well to win 3 at home so need to win 1 away wont be easy. Tasks gets even harder if just win 2 games at home need 2 away wins then
Away games at Leicester, Palace and a potentially already safe Wolves in the penultimate game are opportunities. If we can grind out a few away points maybe 3 wins will do itI am not sure where these 4 wins are going to come from looking at home games v spurs, Fulham, Newcastle, man City, Bournemouth, can't see winning all at home so this season going to have to pick up more points on the road.

I'm not saying we will but all 5 of those home games are winnable , even the City game. They are not so clinical this season and we beat Arsenal with Goodison being a bear pit. 5 more cup finals all at Goodison . Pick up 2 or 3 draws in the away games to give us a bit of a cushion.I am not sure where these 4 wins are going to come from looking at home games v spurs, Fulham, Newcastle, man City, Bournemouth, can't see winning all at home so this season going to have to pick up more points on the road.

Been a fantastic weekend so far for us, especially if Newcastle win later. Easy to say that was a good point for Southampton but that was 2 points dropped for sure. They had numerous chances to win that game and never took them.
