Not saying it’s impossible that they could beat Man City, but they will be up against a Man City side that knows it needs to win out to win the league. Man City will have 70% possession and win the game. It’s the one time we will appreciate them being the cheating corrupt fucks they have been as they sweep Spurs aside.

Burnley have drawn away to both Chelsea and Man Utd in the last month or so.

I still think Burnley will be the ones to help us.

Honestly happy to go all our against olympiakos then rest some players vs liverpool.

Even if comes to last game players would have had a long weeks rest and it might not even matter by then if they dont beat city

I think the concern is in all likelihood Spurs have too much for Burnley and Sheff Utd, especially as they have the former at home. If that is the case then it’s essentially a one-off game against Citeh. They’re unlikely to win that, but you never know.

Hopefully we’ll beat Liverpool and it all becomes moot. I think we’ll make it, but it’d be nice to close it off next weekend.

I’m relying on Spurs to be Spurs. I’m also confident they won’t beat Man City. I’ll even suggest a very desperate Burnley side, as shit as they are will get something out of their game against Spurs even if it ultimately ends in their relegation.

Look at how Salah ruthlessly attacked their third choice LB today. Foden/Walker will have plenty of fun down that side all night.

Little chance Man. City don't score at least three times v them imo.

Nah, Spurs are dog shit and getting worse. 4-2 flattered them today.

We just need to turn up at Palace imo and actually get a few more CMs out there to actually properly mark likes of Olise and Eze.

Hope it doesn't come down to the final day but I've always been confident we'd get the result we need at Palace if we need to and that will hopefully just be a draw.

If we get a point against Liverpool they need to win their last two, assuming the gap is 4 points by the time we play that game and we also lose to Palace.  If they do that they deserve it.

I reckon come the last day we are 4 points ahead and it’s all done and dusted. Hopefully all that is left is a cup final.

If they lose to Man City, we don't need to get another point at all, it's game over, we're fourth mathematically. They're not going to beat Man City.

If they draw with them, even, we'd probably be ok on points difference, but even then, they would still have to beat Burnley and Sheffield United. That might sound easy, but I don't think many people fancied Burnley getting a point and being worth all three at Old Trafford.

And all that is still contingent on us not getting anything from Palace or Liverpool.

Althought its unlikely for both bit im gonna be absolutely heart broken if we go out the cup and finish 5th.

That would be proper deflating
