Get a win on Monday and 5th spot will be a cab ride away.
If Saints & Spurs win this weekend it will leave them 5 and 6 points behind respectively. Still no guarantee seeing as we've still got to play them both but we do have a little breathing space inciase we have one of those days.
Well that's Southampton still 8 behind and us with a game in hand. If Burnley get even a draw off Spurs tomorrow - very feasible - then a win for us on Monday and its all but sewn up. We'd basically have to win our 4 home games and that would out us on 76 Pts if we beat Palace. Liverpool & the rest can't reach that figure even if they win all of their last 7 games, which they won't btw.
Yes we've been piss poor this season but we'd have to collapse completely to finish outside the top 4. With our remaining fixtures, I like our chances of 4th at worst.
