Got to love these type of late season must win games, squeaky bum time at its best.
Top 4 Race 19/20 | duffer: "We [Chelsea] are getting 3rd. Despite what the lunatics in here think, Man United are not all that."
- Thread starter Andy_Cole
- Start date
Let us win the three games and get the top done.
If we don't win tonight (yes, the three points) we should focus on winning the EL.
Mou won't help us out. And we could get a draw or even lose at Leicester's.

Oh man, how different would things look if not for that unnacceptable draw at the 96th minute...3rd was supposed to be ours, not 5th while depending on Mou...
Grab another two goals and we don't even have to depend on Mou. That said, tonight was always Leicester's one big chance, they desperately need us to feck this up.
Win this both Chelsea and Leicester should be worried. Both will be playing away from home and against good teams. Of course we need to win at home against West Ham.
Big 45 minutes coming up.
Does Leicester win tonight mean it's certain to go to last game whatever the result tonight and next week?
We've very clearly lost steam. Looking very slow and lethargic, shades of our form post Bruno. Hopefully we can speed it up, because that's when we look threatening. Can't afford any more slip ups.
Concerned at ball retention at times, the team always seems to try killer balls from nowhere, sometimes its better to hold the ball and find your way into the game versus be attacked for 30 minutes holding on.
So if United wins 2 and draws 1 (includes Palace game)
Leicester wins 1 and draws 1
Chelsea wins 1 and loses 1
All 3 will end up on the same points (66)
Leicester wins 1 and draws 1

Yes.
I think yes, but what needs to happen in that game for each side could yet be different. I don't fancy us if we need a win, but can see us play out a draw.
Sorry, no. If we lose today and lose next week and Leicester win next week then there would be 6 points between us.
Should've said I assume Man. United will win both games aswell. Think Man. United will get whatever they need at Leicester as your pace on the break will be too much for them if they have to push forward and win.
Away from home is meaningless in this current season. There are no fans so it's just a change of scenery.
Don't see Chelsea losing to Liverpool, Liverpool have been some what an embarrassment since winning the league which hopefully they drag into next season. The only silver lining is that the fixture is at anfield. Wolves against Chelsea is a hard one to call but I'll favour Chelsea given its at home for them.
Prediction:
3-0 tonight. Leciester lose 0-2 at Spurs, we beat WHU by 2.
Final game we're 3 points ahead with +2 GD.

I think should those results happen, and we did lose to Pool, Utd be on 65, Chelsea 63, Leic 62. A win for us v Wolves would be enough regardless of Leic v Utd score. So should Spurs beat Leicester, you could almost say we can afford to lose to Liverpool as we stay top 4. (if spurs win and us, top 4 is secured)
Can't we finish top 4 and win Europa League too?
Chelsea are defo making top 4.
Imo Leicester will have to beat United on the last day by a couple of goals to make it.
I might be the first one to say this but I think it's in your hands now.
I can see Leiester and Chelsea not getting another point.

Looks really exciting now. If Chelsea lose against us they’re in trouble.
Yeah. Probably shouldn’t have quoted your post. It was more aimed at the people saying we’re more likely to qualify via the Europa now.
If Chelsea to lose to Liverpool and Leicester & United both win the next game, that could leave Leicester and United to play out a bore draw to make the CL.
I just can't see Leicester winning at Spurs, not gonna happen.
Indeed, but I think Jose will end up doing them and United a favor
Jose helping out both Chelsea & United?
Jose helping out Jose.
Just gotta make sure we beat West Ham before worrying about favours from other teams.
Phew.
We’ll beat that sack of shit.
We'll know what Leicester have done days before we play West Ham
If Leicester beat Spurs Chelsea really could do with a result at Anfield. Can’t see Leicester beating Tottenham though.
Huge , huge win for Utd tonight.
It’s in your hands 
Leicester beat Spurs.
We beat West Ham.
Chelsea lose to Liverpool.
We can play out a 0-0 draw with Leicester on the last day and both qualify.

Huge win but on the flip side leicester also got the points.
Hence we are relying on our ex-manager to do us a favor. Who knows? Will he be in the mood to sabotage us or will he get his team fired up? The reality is that spurs only have the slimmest of chances to get top four.

Massive result. Even a draw against West Ham now would still leave it in our hands to get top 4
Spurs play Leicester days before we play West Ham
