With the rush of blood to the head after winning three games on the bounce, I like many here, am wondering where could we finish up. The picture painted in this thread is looking like 7th to 6th is likely, but better than that a bit of a pipe dream. Not impossible, but unlikely.
With the helpful summary above of remaining fixtures for the top teams, I think it worth looking at the games left where we know for a fact a team above us will drop points - when they play each other. Remember the bonkers fixture list early on in the season when we played a strong team every week? Well, this could be payback time.
If we anticipate Leicester and Spurs in the first two places, here are the head to heads (plus the top two) fixtures for the next 5 teams - as much as anyone could predict the next 5 teams in this astonishing season.

If we can win our game in hand to be just four points off fourth place and five points off third, there do not need to be too many draws between these teams, or wins to Spurs / Leicester, to give us a very real opportunity. Of course, we need a blinder of a run ourselves. Something we can do if we keep playing 'angry'.
This ain't over. Not by along way.
