Will we qualify for the CL?

Yeah, if 19th placed Forest are in that group then the likes of Palace have reason to feel a bit put out.

Roma look all over the shop at the moment.

While they've been pretty ropey in Europe so far they're a point of the top of Serie A having conceded fewer goals in the league than anyone in Europe apart from Bayern and Arsenal.

That's pretty tight for "all over the shop".

I blame the quality of Serie A...

If we want a chance of that we need to get way more output from the attackers. I’m not writing any off, but Guessand, Elliott, and Sancho have brought little to nothing in terms of attacking support to date.

Sancho has hardly any minutes, but the signs are good.

Got a feeling that Unai doesn’t rate Elliott, or at least doesn’t think he’s an efficient use of scant resources.

A return to last season’s form for Tielemans and Rogers, and a fulfilment of early promise from Sancho, Barkley, Buendia and Malen will be key to our chances.

I wouldn't say Chelsea are guaranteed a spot and if we win the Europa League, it doesn't matter where we finish.

And we're still heavy favourites to do that - more than twice as likely (based on the odds) as second favourites Porto.

Caveated of course by the fact that we were massive favourites in the Conference League too.

Even under Emery we seem to have an unerring ability to blow it on the big occasion.
