Just been looking at the games left and the teams currently above us in the race for a European spot.
I’ll start off by saying I don’t think Brentford will stay 7th. Got a complete bastard of a run in - Man Utd, Man City and Liverpool away. And West Ham at home. They might surprise but those 3 away games alone I can’t see them getting much from.
I think Chelsea have a tough run too. Got to go to the most in form team in the league midweek away at Brighton. And they have to go to Anfield. Their two home games are against Forest and Spurs. They could relegate Spurs in that game so expect it to be a battle. No reason why we can’t be still 2 points or better behind them going into the final match of the season when we play them at home.
Brighton. Aside from Chelsea they have the Mags away next weekend (Could they turn up for once?) and also need to go away to Leeds who are flying and Man Utd final game at home. I’d argue about the same as us in terms of difficulty.
Bournemouth. 3 games that could go either way with Leeds, Palace and Fulham next. But final 2 are hard with Man City and away at Forest final game when Forest might need to get something to stay up. I’d say slightly harder then ours just as most of those teams are around them then a tough last 2.
Everton. Looks quite tricky with 3 away games. Got to go away to teams battling to survive with West Ham and then Spurs final game. Palace away the other. Then aside from us they have Man City at home. Overall I’d definitely say tougher then our run in.
Obviously the game is not played on paper but I’d be very surprised to see Brentford finish above us with their 3 away games. I think we have the “easiest” (On paper) schedule to play relegation fighters with Forest at home and Wolves away who will be already down. Brighton would be the main one I look at and think their games are comparable to us and they are in good form. Get 10+ points and I think we stand a good chance of Europe.
Also only the teams above us I know that Palace and a few others are right in their as well.
