Bournemouth can't go today as they are on 4 points and it can only change by three maxmum. However a combination of them not winning and us winning gets rid of them all I believe.

I think the next question should now be "who do we want to bring with us into the CL?"

Not Brentford because they always raise their game against us, not Chelsea because they're Chelsea. Don't really mind who, other than them.

None of them. We need to finish 4th to reduce competition which means we need to beat Liverpool next week (and Burnley tomorrow obvs).

Hopefully Chelsea come out their funk today for one day only.

We’ve made this so much harder than it needed to be. Even a win tomorrow won’t guarantee it.

If we win tomorrow we will have 61 points.
With 2 games to play, if Bournemouth win their their last 2 games and we lose our last 2 games it will go down to goal difference, and they would most likely have a better GD.
We are still in the driving seat, but this scenario is not beyond the bounds of possibility.

Have to win tomorrow. Fail to do so and it looks a bit too complicated, at least via the league, for my liking.

Don't forget the jeopardy Liverpool find themselves in. They're not playing well and  have got an away game at Villa Park to negotiate. Their fans have as much right to be as anxious as we are.

They are playing a team days away from playing in a European final.
I don’t think they have too much to be anxious about.

We’ll be 5 days from a cup final though. Unai will want to do another Spurs.
