Will we qualify for the CL?

[cdbearsfan]

Chelsea will lose today, heavily I hope.

Surely a win at Forest will pretty much wrap up a top 5 spot ? Although I still think we’ll finish 3rd.

Not happy jinxing once so you have to do it twice in the same post? FFS. Dreadful behaviour.

Andy, you’ve caused Martinez to get injured now.

So basically if we win 3 games Chelsea would have to win all theirs or win 5 draw 1 to overtake us.

Saving grace for us is Liverpool have to come to Villa park.

Brentford still have Man Utd, Man City and Liverpool to play.
Chelsea still have Man Utd and Liverpool
Liverpool still have Brentford, Chelsea, Us and Everton and Man Utd
Man Utd still have Chelsea, Brentford and Liverpool

Everyone is playing each other so everyone has to drop points. We only need to finish above 2 of those. 7 points will do it I reckon. Liverpool would need 10pts to overtake us which would mean taking points off everyone around us. Chelsea would need 14pts  which would mean them having to beat Liverpool and Man Utd making Liverpool's 10pts less likely. Brentford would need 15 pts meaning they'd have to beat Liverpool, again making Liverpool's 10pts less likely.

Bottom line, it's firmly in our own hands now and we're in a much better position than before the West Ham game.

If we haven't got it more or less wrapped up by then, our form will have to be in the sort of place where games against Liverpool and Man City will not be saving graces of any kind.

We're three results clear. Two wins should be enough looking at those fixtures. Nice run of games now. Good advantage over Bologna. Feeling pretty relaxed tbh.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Most bookies have us at 1/16 to finish top 5.

Another game one and now gap is 7 points to sixth place team. A good weekend.

No such thing as a nice run of games !!!!!!!!!

I have thought for a while that with Ginny and Tielemans back we'd be okay - but this is beautiful to read. Thank you. I think win next Sunday and we're virtually there.

If we win our three home games that would mean Chelsea having to win all theirs and Liverpool winning theirs against everyone else.

I want third place back but I'd settle for forth.

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

I want top 4 just so we don't give an extra place for the Champions League when we win the Europa League. Unless it's Brentford, they can have it.

[Legion]

It's going to be close.
