No no no, it shows how strong the league is, remember!
Why? Is the projected points total for 4th much lower than any other year?
Id say its harder to get 4th this year. Every other year Arsenal withstand a weak and spineless Spurs attempt and they're there. This year its a mix with City and us.
From Reddit:
"Football is a weird sport. One week you beat the star studded Paris bilionaire team and the next you're held to a draw by the northern gravy and chips team battling for relegation."

Barca'd barely crack top half in a league this 'ard.
No chunder like Sporting Heehaw to rack up points against.
I'm actually surprised by the points total needed to get fourth place over the last ten years or so. It's always between 68-72 points with notable exceptions Liverpool 07/08 with 76 points and Arsenal 13/14 with 79 points (you could win the league this year with that, mind you). City only needs a 7/12 to get to 68 points, Arsenal needs a 8/15 which is both very realistic (don't know their remaining fixtures by heart though).
However, United needs a 12/15 and Liverpool needs a 18/18 to get to 68 points this year, which is impossible for both if you ask me.
Arsenals run in looked easy a few weeks back. Not so much so now, in their form.
We don't deserve to sneak in though.

Don't want us to make top 4 if it means LVG stays.
Who cares about deserve! Lets 1-nil our way to the Arsenal 4th place title!
TOOOOOOOON
We won't sneak in. There's just no way this team can win all the remaining games, unfortunately. I just don't see it happening, barring a miracle of circumstance.
I don't see why you can't sneak in.
De bruyne coming back is a big thing for them but they also have two very draining champions league ties coming up.
You win your game in hand (at home) and you're one point behind.

We're absolute shite.
Going into more detail it's our away form, which is disgraceful, that will cost us. We might be able to win our remaining home games 1-0 but we'll feck up away from home.
If we win tonight we're 2 behind City.
We'd then be relying on Arsenal to beat them and us to win all our remaining games. Neither of which will happen.
It might as well be 3, because of the goal difference. I doubt we'll be seeing an 18 goal swing between now and the end of the season.
Yep, our GD is truly pathetic.
Sunderland might help as well at the weekend, they'll fight for survival, and that's always dangerous. And then we might actually depend on City to help us. Even a draw then would be big.
Of course, that's with unlikely scenario where we get 15 out of 15.

It's got to be the most meaningless Merseyside Derby in years being played tonight.
Considering we have Newcastle at home on Saturday I'm expecting a full strength side tonight. I wonder if Martinez might rest a few with the FA Cup on Saturday.

Don't think it's that meaningless - I still very much want to finish above United this season and we'll only be two points behind them if we get six points against Everton and Newcastle this week.
I think Martinez will rest some players, yes. Only the FA Cup trophy could rescue his disastrous season.
Newcastle will be a tougher test.
The Newcastle game is probably fixed because Rafa have to survive, so he gets the win at Anfield and everybody is happy.
There's usually a bit more focus on it than there is for this one. I think both sides have their priorities elsewhere.
I'd still like us to beat them though. We're doing well at the minute and they're struggling so anything other than 3 points will be disappointing.
I wasn't really listening but did Moyes just compare Dortmund under Klopp to Moyes' Everton?
Lallana misses sitter...
25m for this dickhead, 2 seasons in and still useless.
Awful from Lallana. Firmino was free for a tap in.
Not going to lie, I don't feel like we're having a good night so far. Everton look like they can have us on the break.
Nice header by Lallana that time, unlucky there.
Two one on ones completely bottled there.
Finishing in this game has been dreadful.
Hearing rumours that a very small minority of Everton fans were singing "always the victims" etc.
Can't believe that tbh until I see it for myself.

Happened very early on in the game then didn't happen again. Might have been a minority.
Origi at it again 
Deserved lead.
1-0 Pool, Origi header. Shit defending/goalkeeping.
Origi 1-0. Great header but worryingly from an England point of view, out jumped Stones easily. I think it was Stones anyway.
Keeper was hopeless there.
Stay crap, Everton.
