I think Everton have a max 9 points in them, not sure about Burnley but we get 2 more points we're safe imo - not much to ask.

Everton have only got 10 points from their last 13 games, it'd be a suprise if they get 9 from their last 6.

Not worried as we have a relatively easy run in. We should pick up the required points against Norwich and Burnley, if we can't them frankly we deserve to be in trouble (but we will).

It was always going to be a difficult season losing Jack in the way we did and with the poor timing. The transfers had to be spot on and also needed to click straight away, but neither happened. We didn't address problems that we had even before Jack left (powder puff midfield), and then failed to address them again in January. The players we did bring in have not been very good thus far either. Some of the players may turn out better next season with a better organised pre-season, but more questions need asking of Purslow and Lange than of Gerrard at this stage.
yeah thats probably a fair comment - and possibly where the axe would fall first

Saturday is massive, huge, enormous. Gargantuan even.

I can see some of the crowd getting pretty pissed off if we go behind and aren't showing much. Not turning, but starting to 'show their frustration' or 'making their feelings known'.

If we can play anything like we did for 45 minutes vs Spurs it should be fairly comfortable, I think Coutinho will be back on form.

Oh, and there's absolutely no way we're going down. None.

Yes but it’s harrowing that with half a dozen games to go we are even talking about it after spending the money we have spent.

And now over to our Villa correspondent Aftab who's with the Mariupol Lions for the run-in. ;)

I didn't realise that Villa play Liverpool the Tuesday before the FA Cup Final.  Unlikely to play their A side I wouldn't have thought, hopefully, clinging to any possible advantage we can get.

I suspect they'd rather win the league than the FA Cup.

Yes, full strength team against us, not so strong for final

Who are they playing in the FA Cup final?
