Can’t believe after last night’s result, top four is in our own hands. Can we win 4 more on the bounce? Need to find that clinical edge again

Cheers.

Am I missing something here? But isn't it in Chelsea hands? 2 games in hand. win both and still a point behind. Not happening.

13 May 2021 08:08:42
Magico - sort of.

Chelsea and Leicester play each other next. So depending on what happens there if we win all our games we would either finish ahead of Chelsea (if they lost or draw next week) or level on points with Leicester (if they lost) . That’s also assuming they both win their final game.

We are currently three goals behind Leicester on goal difference but if we win the next three and they lose to Chelsea we would be ahead on goal difference going into the last game.

13 May 2021 08:13:38
We would still need to win all our game AND for Chelsea to lose or draw.

13 May 2021 08:14:24
Think its based around Chelsea playing leiscester next.

If Chelsea win we can go level with leisceter on points if everyone wins all games after that, if Chelsea lose we can 1 point ahead I think but would need city to win champions league.

Chelsea and Leicester still have to play each other, magico. If we win all four games then top four is probably ours. For the exact numbers, you can take a look at kirkby's post on the discussions page.

No magic it isn’t. If Chelsea win their last 2 that means Leicester have lost as they play each other so if Leicester win their other game we are level on points with them. Goal difference is +3 in their favour but if we win 4 games to their 1 win and 1 defeat you’d expect our GD to be better than theirs by the end of the season unless they lose by 1 and win by 4 or 5.
Long and the short of it, win our last 4 and we are more than likely in the top 4.
If Chelsea finish 5th and win the CL however, then it’s Europa league for us anyway!
Clear? Clear as mud!

I believe if we finish 4th, we're in CL regardless of what happens with Chelsea. I'm sure it's been stated that if Chelsea finish 5th and win CL, then 5 teams qualify. That's the only way 5 teams qualify now, if I've understood correctly.

13 May 2021 10:15:29
So basically we have to win all games. which we won't. starting tonight. And a draw would do tonight and 3 wins And hope leicester get beat off Chelsea and spurs. Backing Chelsea to win champs league so we need Leicester out of top 4. Or Leicester to beat chelsea and City to win champs league.
Clutching at straws haha.

Rugby I was under the the impression if we finish 4th and Chelsea aren't in top 4 and win champs league we'll forfeit our position mate.

{Ed002's Note - No - that is the 5th team scenario.}

13 May 2021 10:24:14
Think so Rugby

If Chelsea win UCL and finish 4th 4 teams enter. if Chelsea win and finish 5th 5 teams enter.

13 May 2021 10:24:24
So hoes it work now ed.

{Ed002's Note - If Liverpool finish in the top four they are in the CL regardless of what happens with Chelsea.}

Loving the optimism boys but we’ve failed to turn up in games for months now champions league is gone and I only see LWDW from out last 4 games.
