Will we make Top 4? by AndersS
Not many would have thought we would make top 4 before the season started But now it is very much a possibility, and many of us will probably feel it s a failure, if we don’t make it.
One thing seems certain, it will be very close, and it can go either way.
To predict results in football is a very uncertain “science”, where you, more often than not, will be proved wrong.
Nevertheless, here I go with my predictions for how the Top 4, or rather, Top 3-6 race will end. By looking at each teams remaining fixtures, and predicting how many points, they will get in each fixture, I get the following..
Man Utd – currently no. 6 with 64 pt.
Everton away – 3 points
Man City home – 0 points
Chelsea home – 3 points
Huddersfield away – 3 points
Cardiff home – 3 points
Points gained in remaining matches – 12 points
Season total – 76 points
Chelsea – currently no. 5 with 66 points
Burnley home – 3 points
Man Utd. Away – 0 points
Watford home – 3 points
Leicester away – 3 points
Points gained in remaining matches – 9 points
Season total – 75 points
Arsenal – currently no. 4 with 66 points
Palace home – 3 points
Wolves away – 0 points
Leicester away – 1 point
Brighton home – 3 points
Burnley away – 3 points
Points gained in remaining matches – 10 points
Season total – 76 points
Spurs – currently no. 3 with 67 points
Man City away – 0 points
Brighton home – 3 points
West Ham home – 3 points
Bournemouth away – 3 points
Everton home – 3 points
Points gained in remaining matches – 12 points
Season total – 79 points
As you can see, I predict, we will finish with the same total as Man Utd, and as we currently have a +7 in goal difference on them, I think, we will just sneak 4’th with 3-4 goals to spare ?
