I really don't think the last two home games will be as straight forward as hoped. Brentford are on a brilliant run currently and will want to finish top half which looks very possible. Plus Eriksen finding space against this midfield worries me.

Palace I guess on the bench now after losing cup SF but likes of Olise, Zaha and Gallagher all good players and in fairness Newcastle are on an incredible home winning run, think that's six straight wins now at St James so it was probably an expected loss after the cup final.

Worry for me is team goes long periods without barely creating a chance in games so going 1 down in one of those two home games isn't going to be great for the ticker.

Watford to me is as big if not bigger than Palace. Win that and 4 points from last two home games should be enough so eases the pressure.

Here's all anyone needs to know right now without all the rocket science permuatations over this game and that game to come:

WE ARE FOUR POINTS OUTSIDE THE DROP ZONE.

End of story for me for now.

As long as it doesn't come down to the final game. I'm going to sign up for cryogenic freezing if that happens. No way I'm enduring that ever again.

Chelsea are falling to bits so them at home isn't a complete write off

Chelsea are a bit random. Poor defensively tonight by all accounts but they of course won 1-3 away to Real Madrid last week and can't just dismiss what they have in attack and expect to hold out with ease. Hoping at least with the quick turnaround they'll play Thiago Silva away to Man. United and then rest him as he's going to have his cigar out v Rondon/DCL.

Must win games:
H V/S Brentford
H V/S Crystal Palace

Must not lose games:
A V/S Watford
A V/S Burnley 0 points
H V/S Leicester 1 point

Can get something games:
H V/S Man Utd 3 points
H V/S Chelsea
A V/S West Ham 0 points
A V/S Leicester

Bonus games:
A V/S RS
A V/S Arsenal

I posted the above with 11 games to go, we played 4 games since then:

Lost to West Ham and Burnley, drew with Leicester and won against Man Utd: 4 points (We got 1 point per game)

Next 4: RS away, home to Chelsea, Leicester and Watford away, minimum we should get 3 points, but we should target 5 points

We will know a lot more about our fate after this weekend. Not because of us, but because of how Burnley do in their 2 home games. If Burnley get 4+ points, we are in trouble i think.

the foxes had nothing to play for

that’s a load of crap that saying

ive said it before, i never believe that saying any team myself, i doubt a team will go into a game proposedly not trying, they will try but may not win-you never know, People say the same thing about Brentford etc, but we have to show up in these games either way
