Will we win the Premier League

[tomd2103]

I think we'll beat Chelsea but draw with Arsenal.

Really think we have a chance. Momentum is a big part of success and we've got it. We're like a snowball that keeps rolling and gaining mass.

We've got enough of a cushion at the moment where draws would be good results if we're aiming to finish in the top four.  If you've got genuine designs on winning the league then Winning games against those around you are key.

Based on results so far, we are still one point worse than last season, when we missed out on the Champions League on goal difference.

We just need to win at Palace or Newcastle to turn the tide.

Or Molineux

[London Villan]

Our next 4 away matches will be key. We need at least 5 points from them. Big ask.

[Rigadon]

We’re making defensive and attacking mistakes in recent games and still winning.  That’s a seriously good sign. 

[Brend'Watkins]

A seriously good sign is that we are not having major injury disruptions as we have had in previous seasons. That’s in part must go down to how Emery manages games. That’s my theory anyway.

I’ve just enjoyed looking at the league table and us being near the top rather than with the hoi polloi. Dunno how long that’ll last, but hopefully a bit longer as it’s rather good fun.

Just going back to saddvillan’s post … for 5th place, over the last 10 seasons it’s averaged 66pts with a low of 62pts and a high iirc of 70pts.

Spot on Algy  65-66 points is the number we need for 5th . So just another 10 wins and we're there.

See, wouldn't it also be a good sign if we were just playing really well with no mistakes, or had loads of injuries but were third anyway?

[Rigadon]

I see what you’re saying Monty, but form can be streaky.  If we start playing to our very top level more often (the run we’ve been on is amazing of course, I’m not saying otherwise), we have a chance of doing something generationally great.  Injuries absolutely key too.

Agreed. And after the weekend results we'll still go into 2026 in third, even if we lose the next two games. If we could only take points from one of the upcoming games it would be against Chelsea.

We have been relying on Rogers scoring crackers last two games and thats not sustainable if it continues.

Nice break now to Chelsea to reassess things. Hopefully Torres is back fit.

Not sure what options we have to change things up front.

[Sexual Ealing]

If they introduce three points for a win Ipswich will do it.

Its the key  the CL revenue  as that massively  helps emery bring players on. I still have reservations  at our squad depth so im hopeful  we can add a few come January  then we are in a good position  to sustain the challenge

Agree dick. If i had a choice its beat chelsea than arsenal  as that massively extends the gap to 4th.

Would be amazing if we finished  3rd or higher
