Topic: Predictions for bottom 3/relegation

[rob1966]

Dean Smith has never lost a game to Everton, 4 wins, 3 at home and 2 draws.

Dyche has only beaten Leicester 4 times in 19 games, 5 draws and 10 defeats.

Lets hope its 5 wins and11 defeats respectively at the end of the night

[Tobelius]

Hopefully Maddison finds some form tonight,dislike his antics but he's a good player and this current Everton have no-one left with similar game winning ability.

[farawayred]

Leeds conceded 23 goals in April 

Still less than goal a day...

[BlackandWhitePaul]

For sure and Leicester City have the home advantage (whatever that's worth for a team that's been just as garbage as Everton). I have a feeling it'll be a draw, though?

I’d say it Leicester lost they’re still more likely to recover and would have a chance of staying up.

It's very close and pretty exciting down the bottom and I know you's are willing the Ev to go down.  They have that dipstick between the sticks and if there's one thing you can count on it's him making a tit of himself. They are down, surely. They have to be.

[ScubaSteve]

Leicesters demise has fallen in tandem with the Wagatha Christie saga.

I’ll be fuming if I celebrate a Leicester win tonight and Everton still stay up

Need to remove Bournemouth from Leeds' fixtures Peter.

[RMG]

All of those fixtures look bad for them bar Forest playing Southampton, all of them at home last game of the season bar Forest.

Should easily go to the last game of the season.

Hoping for Everton and Leicester to go down.

[Father Ted]

Yeah, Forest at home against Saints is the only game you'd back any of them to actually win. They're all dreadful, it's just a matter of who gets the lucky bounce, deflection, decision or out-of-character good performance that sees them escape out of trouble.

Yep, very hard to call. Could see Leeds finishing on 30 to be honest with Forest picking up another 3 or 4 points… then it’s just a case of who from Leicester or Everton manages to out-shite the other.

[Boaty McBoatface]

West Ham could be resting for a cup final. Arsenal's heads could have gone depending on the title race. Spurs could be Spurs. Lampard could be Lampard.

Still too many unknowns.

West Ham could find themselves in the relegation battle, if they don't take the home game against Man Utd seriously ...

Man City (a)
Man Utd (h)
AZ Alkmaar (h)
Brentford (a)
AZ Alkmaar (a)
Leeds (h)
Leicester (a)

[Boaty McBoatface]

True, I think they need 1 more win to feel truly safe.

[johnny74]

Forest have the most options for gaining points out of those fixtures but the greatest propensity to mess up and get nothing and I think that's what will happen. Leicester could get something at home against us if they throw the kitchen sink at it given our defensive issues. Everton might have a chance of something against Wolves. West Ham can beat Leeds.

I think it's Leeds and Forest going down with Southampton.

[Barneylfc∗]

West Ham are safe. 3 of the 4 teams below them aren't reaching 34 points.
Forest would need to overturn both 4 points and 22 goals.
Everton 5 points and 15 goals.
Leeds aren't getting 4 points.

[Kopenhagen]

Leeds seriously considering break-glass move for Allardyce.

[Garlicbread]

Southampton
Leeds
Everton or Leicester for me

I think Forest will beat Southampton at home and maybe pick up a point elsewhere which will save them.

Of course they are not safe ...

Man City (a)

Lose their next 3 league games, and they will be playing relegation deciders against Leeds and Leicester ...

It would be hilarious if Fat Sam relegates Everton

[rafathegaffa83]

They've been shocking under Gracia. Best bet would be to move him on ASAP. They'll get thumped by Man City regardless but will give a new manager an extra few days on the training ground

Would be great….hopefully he can give them a bounce to beat Newcastle, hopefully Arsenal can also beat them….give us a slim chance of top 4. I should go to bed now.

They'll be downing pints of wine if he pulls off the miracle of keeping them up

[Kopenhagen]

They need to do something. I don't think this is it but it's something. Keep Gracia and they're finished 100%.

Leeds under Gracia is one of the worst sides I have ever seen at this level.

[Max_powers]

I think Leeds and Southampton are the most likely to go down. Leeds have shown very little fight and they have a tough run.

I think out of Forest, Everton and Leicester; Everton are still the favorites to go down. Everton have fewest points on board and lack quality in final third. They also have Pickford and Keane at the back who will cost them a couple of goals every game.

Forest have been a little unlucky to be down there, they have played with some fight and have a few quality players but they have been edged out in many close contests.

Leicester have the quality but are very one-dimensional in attack and error prone at the back. They are unbeaten in 3 but two of those games were draws against Leeds and Everton so I don't know if that counts as good form. Still they have picked up points while other teams around them haven't.

Leeds will be drinking pint's of wine tonight.

I absolutely despise the c*nt but Pickford is the least of their problems at the moment.

Leeds don't really have Fat Sam type team though do they? Long balls to Bamford ain't gonna cut it I am afraid.

[Samie]

You underestimate Fat Sam's power Maxwell.

[Boaty McBoatface]

Supermarkets in Leeds stocking up on Bisto as we speak.

[rushyman]

Leeds

City A
Newcastle H
West Ham A
Spurs H

That's worse than Everton's run in.

There's 2 pts for them there at most

[Fiasco]

I'd be surprised if Allardyce went there, as has been noted Leeds aren't really your typical Allardyce side and there really aren't that many games left.


I suppose they'll offer him a nice money incentive to keep them up, but it would be a weird one. I wouldn't be complaining if he shithoused them to a couple of wins though!

[Max_powers]

I could be wrong, he could get the new manager bounce but IDK.

Garcia was such an uninspiring choice though.

[Boaty McBoatface]

Leeds

City A
Newcastle H
West Ham A
Spurs H

West Ham could be distracted by the Europa league and god knows which Spurs turn up. That's their only hope.

Pickford?! He is their best player. Far bigger problems in that Everton defence than him.

[Father Ted]

Fat Sam’s powers are waning, he suffered his first relegation last time out with West Brom. Hasn’t been seen since (outside of the Toby carvery).

He could do a tribute to Bielsa and have a bucket (of gravy) on the touchline with him I suppose.

[PeterTheRed ...]

Leeds don't really have Fat Sam type team though do they? Long balls to Bamford ain't gonna cut it I am afraid.

Fat Sam could help them with their biggest problem at the moment, and that is their leaky defence. They have enough talent upfront, if they could somehow concede less ...

The time for them to get Allardyce was when they binned off the American lad.
