Administrator Stan Posted April 28, 2021 Administrator Share Posted April 28, 2021 Another round of games passes and some teams find themselves back in contention for Europe (albeit slim hopes) while others went a step further to guaranteeing a European spot. Leicester built ground on 5th, Chelsea did the same with their win over West Ham; Everton back in contention with a win over Arsenal; Liverpool missed the chance to go in to 4th by drawing with Newcastle. Could Leeds or Arsenal do enough to put pressure, or even better overtake, Spurs in to 7th?! Next fixtures Southampton vs Leicester Brighton vs Leeds Chelsea vs Fulham Everton vs Aston Villa Newcastle vs Arsenal Man Utd vs Liverpool Tottenham vs Sheff Utd Burnley vs West Ham The sheer amount of teams involved goes to show it's been a crazy unpredictable season. I wonder what twists and turns may still occur in the final 4 weeks of the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted May 4, 2021 Administrator Share Posted May 4, 2021 For the CL spots, Leicester and Liverpool were the biggest losers in the weekend matches - the former dropping points and the latter's game being postponed. Points on the board or games in hand? I know which I'd prefer... It was success for all of the London clubs - West Ham, Chelsea, Tottenham & Arsenal all picked up 3 points. For Arsenal though, all eyes on winning the EL as this is their 'easier' path to European football... Leeds' loss to Brighton probably puts them out of the equation for European football next season but it's still been a great season on their return to the Premier League. Everton missed the chance to capitalise on at least Liverpool not playing and go ahead of them with their loss at home to Villa. Like most sides this season, home form has been the sticking point. Next fixtures: Leicester vs Newcastle Man City vs Chelsea West Ham vs Everton Leeds vs Tottenham Liverpool vs Southampton Arsenal vs West Brom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manc Red Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 My head is saying Utd, Leicester and Chelsea, but my heart wants to see West Ham make the CL in place of Chelsea. don't know why maybe sentimentality with Moyes proving that united didn't give him time. Plus if there is a club that listen to the fans west ham seem to be that team in London. either way west ham i think will secure European football next season and deservedly so.

Administrator Stan Posted May 17, 2021 Administrator Share Posted May 17, 2021 And once again the race for European places takes another twist! Liverpool left it late to secure the win against West Brom; Alisson of all people getting the winner. Everton fell at the home hurdle again; Spurs and Leeds win with ease to capitalise on Arsenal not playing; West Ham dropped points and seem to have run out of steam, having dropped all the way to 7th after the weekend... Several different scenarios to figure out for all places but the games coming up in the next 48 hours could be quite telling. Next games Chelsea vs Leicester Burnley vs Liverpool Tottenham vs Aston Villa West Brom vs West Ham Everton vs Wolves Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Southampton vs Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMike Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 There's no bad result for us in Chelsea v Leicester as long as we win our two games but I think a Leicester win is probably preferred as it still gives us a chance to sneak ahead of Chelsea on GD should we draw one of our last two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for Leicester to beat them and then it give us a little bit of breathing space, especially against fucking Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMike Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Still a chance this comes down to head to head record between Liverpool and Leicester.

If they both fail to win and Arsenal do win then Arsenal are in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
