Chelsea still have to play City, Arsenal and Leicester, as well as Villa away, though it's quite possible that none of them will have anything to play for by the time they play Chelsea. If we win all our games, we'll probably still be in with a chance going into the final day of the season.

Since I can't predict the future this is true, anything is possible.  With that said you can't look at Chelsea's overall form and think we're going to make up 5 points regardless of their schedule.

How are we going to do that? It would require an immediate reversal of the form we've shown for the whole of 2021. Starting next game with what is historically our hardest league fixture.

Coming lower in the table than this Leicester team is pretty embarrassing really with the players we have.

Think our season has been more about the players we haven't had, to be honest.

He sure rifled that goal in nicely. BOOM top corner. pick that out.

the first one he laid off was hand ball though. Still fuming about that. When you guys see the dazn angle from behind you'll understand my aggro. The ball should have run away from him but he dribbled it like a basketball which kept it in his immediate area. very quick snap of the wrist and impossible to see from most of the angles.

Good play if your on his side    but var im just about at the end with this.

We have better players, but this year Leicester and West Ham have better teams. They're where they are on merit.

Agreed. Shouldn't take anything away from the seasons they've had. Feel like West Ham have far outperformed their squad's ability but that's a credit to Moyes and the team spirit they clearly have.

Leicester have a good squad and they have one of the best managers in the league as well. 19 points now from losing positions for the Foxes this season.

Find it odd to be embarassed by things like that. Leicester aren’t some little underdog, they are a very good team with very rich owners. And they have taken advantage of a very wierd season.

There’s nothing I find embarassing about what’s happened this season. We deserve nothing from it, there are multiple reasons why we’ve had a poor season, some that can be fixed quickly, some may take time, we move on and start fixing, but also remembering the very recent great seasons we’ve had that most clubs would give anything for, and not losing sight of that.

I don't think we will, but it's not impossible.

I agree it's unlikely. I can actually see them dropping four points, but I can't see us winning all five games.

I hope Leicester get top 4 to be honest. Would represent something different to the norm at least.

I know they have decent backing but they haven't bought success, they just seem like a very well run club with good ownership and management.

Eze looks like a very good prospect, one to keep an eye on for sure

Would love if Rodgers just stayed there and established them as ahead of Arsenal and Spurs. 2 seasons in a row they'll have finished above them.
