Could make or break our top 4 chances this season:

Everton (A)
Tottenham (H)
Southampton (A)

Three really tough fixtures. Win them all, and top 4 becomes a three-team battle between Arsenal, United and us IMO.

Lose against either Tottenham or Southampton, and it's probably over.
 
Ah jaysis Cassandra. Let's enjoy the fact we are back in it before we project being out of it.

One game at a time.
 
Momentum is with us at the right time coming into the final stretch……unfortunately, some above us have that very same momentum
 
I think you have to back Arsenal and United for top 4 at the moment.

Arsenal's remaining big fixtures are:

Tottenham (H)
Liverpool (H)
Chelsea (H)
United (A)

Of course, they have the distraction of Europe, but they have fairly good strength in depth in both midfield and attack, and they're generally strong at home, especially against weaker teams.

United's are:

Tottenham (H)
Liverpool (A)
Man City (H)
Chelsea (A)
Arsenal (H)

More difficult run-in. Also the City and Chelsea games are back to back. But will have the advantage of not having any European distractions.

Ours are:

Tottenham (H)
Southampton (A)
Man City (H)
United (H)
Arsenal (A)
Chelsea (A)

Most difficult run-in, and we'll also have the Europa League making things difficult for us. United and Arsenal games are also back to back.

We could pip United to it, but it's essential that we get Spurs and Soton out of the race first. Both must-win games for me - draws wouldn't be too helpful.
 
Southampton are going to disappear?

I think they have a decent shout for top 4 too.
 
Well they lost today, and if we beat them, I think we'll go above them.

They have a fairly easy run-in, but I think you will find that in the final stretch, they will have it much more difficult against the lesser teams. You need genuine top quality in attack to dismantle smaller teams who'll battle desperately for results, and I don't think Southampton have that.

Spurs will be a bigger threat IMO. Their run is similar to ours though, and they'll also have the Europa League. Beating them will be a big psychological boost though - something we need to try and make it a 3-team race with United and Arsenal.
 
Due to fixture congestion this month will be very tough no doubt and we need a finishing run like last season to get back into the CL in all likelihood...

Or of course we could win ourselves a cheeky Europa league....

I'd feel gutted for the team in fourth mind you... Terrible...

It's an extra place, not at anyone's expense.
 
Everton will be tough regardless of form. Spurs look quite decent at the moment with Eriksen in particularly great form. Lloris is papering over some cracks though as he's probably saved them 12 points this season.
Soton will be difficult but they looked very ordinary yesterday. Will depend on Wanyama and Schneiderlin being back.

Hoping for 7 points. We cant lose to Spurs or Soton.
 
It's taken us far too long to get going this season and now we're approaching a load of crunch games with no margin for error. We need to win all 3 to put ourselves in a good position to challenge.

I think we'll fall short in the end but here's hoping I'm wrong.

I think and I hope this as well. I reckon 6th, possibly 5th. Rodgers will have to win a cup to salvage the season. I hope it's the Europa so we can get in to the CL.
 
Fuck it - we're coming 3rd, winning the FA Cup & the Europa League.
