I would say it shows how much playing 2 games a week can affect performances...Brighton have the most games to catch up before the end of the season and the extra games are taking its toll.
Points countdown until top 4 is secured | 1 point left, 2 games to go | Can almost taste it...!

The best teams play 2 weeks a game at this point of the season & Arsenal we’re well rested on Sunday.
The fact is our players aren’t good enough, if they can’t handle this point of the year they shouldn’t be at the club.
I think people are over-hyping this supposed rivalry vs Fulham.
If they're still aggrieved about what happened, it will be a grudge held against the referee for giving the Willian pen and red, nothing to do with us. It's not the first time a team have been knocked out of a cup competition by a team, the whole team generally doesn't hold a grudge for months just because they lost a game.
If we drop points to Fulham it will be because we're a bit shit and incapable of winning a game convincingly so we're always in danger of dropping points. Not because their players are treating the game like their life is on the line.
I fancy the Villa team to get something at Anfield. Though I think United will go on to get another 6 points, hopefully we won't even need to.
Brighton only turns up when it's not Newcastle. Come on lads praise their manager again and use it as a justification to talk shit about Ten Hag.
Hopefully it’s done by this weekend and Emery does a master class.
Brighton’s loss gives them a chance for his favourite competition.

Bournemouth match is huge considering our away form. Draw /loss puts us in a difficult spot whereas a win gives us a good deal of confirm going into two home games.
Difference between Cl & EL is massive.
This is why we need to keep the scouse out as much as we need to be in the CL ourselves. The scouse can buy 25 Jotas (just 2 million up front or something) with the difference in money.
But it’s not about this point of the season. We played the most games of anyone in Europe. The argument is that our players can’t handle something no other team in Europe’s top leagues has been asked to handle.
Yes thats what I'm thinking. A Villa win or draw, as they have been good overall since Emery.
My worry is the Glazers are waiting to see if we get CL football to add on to their asking fee for the club
Emery is going to play that suicidal high line and they will get spanked 6-0 if Salah and co are in any kind of finishing form.
A Spurs loss today gives AV even more incentive to get points off Liverpool. Top 4 could be settled today in our favor.
dippers just scored
1 more point needed from 2 home games
Final whistle at anfield 1-1
Reasonably confident we can get a draw out of two games, but wouldn't be that surprised to see us feck it up either
Our wage bill goes up 25% though with the CL.
If United can't achieve that then CL football isn't deserved
Surely Chelski and Fulham won't both beat us at home.... surely
They got what feels like a record amount of injury time to do it, so they can't complain can they. I've never seen 10 minutes for us when we've been chasing a winner, doesn't matter how much shithousing has gone on
Time to update the title 
What is this on the BBC website? 
9 amd 10 minutes injury time, was Dalglish the 4th referee today?
1 point needed in the remaining two matches (both in home) assuming that Liverpool wins the next one. We cannot mess it up from here, right?
Almost there.
I would have been bricking if it had come down to having to win both these games but even I can't see us losing both.

Newcastle are through I guess. Dont see a +7GD being overturn on the last day.
Fulham
Ok they've fixed it now.
Fulham
Told you.
With Rashford back for the next 2 games, we should be okay. But I'd like to see EtH target Newcastle for 3rd now.
1 point left from Chelsea and Fulham, both at home. This is as good a scenario as we were going to get after the Brighton-West Ham debacle.
What position were we in after the first two matches? 18th.? 19th.?
Get it right up ye Klopper!
1 point needed. 2 games to go
It was frustrating keeping my eye on the Liverpool match because we all knew Villa were never holding onto that lead. The fact that that they caved in the 89th minute was very cruel.
Nevertheless, even my eternal pessimism cannot help but feel that we're pretty much nailed on for 4th now.

We were just 10 minutes away from top 4. Football is really a cruel thing.
