Sorry to be miserable but I just think we're going to fall short. Main reason being that the midfield balance has just not looked right without Longstaff (LWLD the last games he's missed), and it's exacerbating the fact there is serious fatigue in that area of the pitch for us.

 

Hope I'm wrong, but if we don't beat Brighton we're gone IMO.

A draw might do as long as we go out and give Leicester a proper hiding. It could come down to goal difference with another draw at Chelsea. Hopefully it won't come to that if we just win Thursday.

[Karjala]

Chelsea away is winnable, they've given up weeks ago.

 

Brighton is winnable, of course also could lose.

 

We must surely beat Leicester.

[Miggys First Goal]

We should be doing to Leicester what we did to Spurs.

Liverpool play Soton final game.  They’ll surpass our GD

[AyeDubbleYoo]

We should beat Chelsea and Leicester and ideally draw or beat Brighton .

If we fail to beat Brighton, we will still be ahead of Liverpool by a point, and have to play this horrendous Leicester team at home, and a Chelsea team on the beach and who failed to beat Forest at home the other day, it'll be nail biting for sure, but it'll hardly be gone.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Definitely not going to rely on GD

 

Just need to focus on getting 2 wins

I’m not so sure we ‘should’ beat Chelsea. Think it’s gonna be more tricky than we think.

We won't score a lot against this Leicester side at home?

[Kid Icarus]

If this Leicester rock up to SJP we might be able rely on GD

[Holloway]

We'll struggle to overcome without Longstaff. Heh heh how things change in the blink of a half season

We're 4 ahead now, stick 5 past Leicester and it'll look a lot better. 

[Wolfcastle]

For all the "bed wetting" of only a week ago its near enough 50/50 now isn't it?

 

50% chance of beating Brighton and anything less were having to beat Chelsea as well as Leicester.

Can’t be certain of it.  We’ll beat them though.  It all boils down to Brighton now - win that, and I think it’s almost nailed on

[ilikenewcastle]

Don't want to tell people how to feel, but I think some need to look at the positives rather than just the negatives. Yes things haven't gone well since Southampton, but we will be in the Champions League if we beat 2 hopeless teams. Whisper it quietly, but we may actually beat Brighton too!

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Could we both finish ahead of Man Utd on GD? Theirs is much worse.

Yeah, but they are both poor teams.

I can't see Man Utd getting less than 6 points from those remaining fixtures.

Still very much in our hands. Man Utd are involved in this too. For as hard as Brighton could be for us Villa at home is a difficult game for Liverpool if they show up. Simple fact is if we beat Brighton on Thursday we're Leicester at home away from CL football. Only have ourselves to blame if we don't get over the line.

You’d think Man Utd should win all their games now.

Agreed, though Brighton are exactly the kind of side we don’t want to be playing when we’re going for three points.  If the same side that faced Leeds starts again then we’re relying on a win at Chelsea

No, it isn't 50/50. 

[Ikon]

I can see ManU drawing against Bournemouth and Chelsea. Let’s hope.

But how come everyone else is guaranteed to win all their games?
