Lose by two or more today - the likelihood of which seems inevitable - and we drop into the bottom three.
Barring a miracle, where do we go from here?
This is an absolute shambles of a start to the season.
Koeman has spent £200m so far to completely build a new team: the 12th most expensive one in the world allegedly. And we seem further away than we have been for years.
Comparisons have been made with the worst of Martinez, Moyes and Smith, but this is Mike Walker-esque.
We are drifting hopelessly towards further humiliation, capitulation and oblivion with Holland's Donald Trump at the helm.
The scene is set for a significant drubbing today, with Lukaku and Fellaini teed-up perfectly to rub our noses in it. You couldn't write the script could you?
Sadly, despite a senior player summit, I still despair for both our immediate and mid-term prospects.
How Koeman expects to do anything without a proven centre forward beggars belief.
And we pay this Dutch dunce £6m a year?
He hasn't got a clue.
