A few days ago Just Arsenal ran an article predicting who we felt would finish where in the race for a top fourth position and despite last night’s loss the good news is that we will still end up in fourth place once all has been done and dusted.
There are now just three games to go and it is no longer in our hands, however, the initial predictions always had that scenario after this round of games and so nothing really has changed in that respect.
It must be admitted that after the way we played last night that it is now more hopeful than confident that we will get the points predicted below, but these are the predictions we went with. Now that the games that have been played this week have been removed this is how we see the last three games unfolding…
Tottenham
v West Ham 1 pt
v Bournemouth 3 pts
v Everton 1 pt
Finishing points 75 pts
Chelsea
v Man Utd 1 pt
v Watford 3 pts
v Leicester 1 pt
Finishing points 72 pts
Man Utd
v Chelsea 1pt
v Huddersfield 3 pts
v Cardiff 3 pts
Finishing points 71 pts
Arsenal
v Leicester 1 pt
v Brighton 3 pts
v Burnley 3 pts
Finishing points 73 pts
Initially, we had us finishing above Chelsea only on goal difference but now we are a point clear and that is because we predicted a draw with Wolves and a win for Chelsea over Burnley and so the upshot is we lost one point and Chelsea two from our predictions.
So, while it is all very depressing right now there is no reason not to remain hopeful over the last three games.
