It will be tough, and someone really has to slip up for us to be in it with a chance, and we will have to be flawless.
I cannot see that coming. We have to stop giving away points against poorer teams for a start.
United have defensive injuries, so that could be their demise. Spurs always stumble. Brighton are very good, but have a small squad and lack strikers.
I think Newcastle will make it. Villa won't. Too many tough games. Newcastle and United, to make it, just. There is bound to be some twists though.
As for the bottom struggle, Leicester, to my surprise, showed some fight in the second half against City.
They will surely need it, and need results against Wolves, Fulham and Everton.
Southampton seem lost, as they couldn't get anything going at home against Palace.
Forest I haven't seen in a while, but it seems a tough ask.
They will go down, as it is also a freshly assembled team who will not yet be that strong in team spirit.
Everton could just about make it, and it might come down to the two last games for them.
So, Southampton, Forest and Leicester to go down I think.
That is today's essay.
