You forgot Everton but I agree.

Silly old bat
We have only lost three games at the Amex all season, and that is to top 6 sides. Beat or draw with teams around us, and that keeps them in the same position or lower.

......Sorry not in the "Nearly safe camp "........Our run in is very difficult,and a 37 point safe target ,in this very strange season ,might not be enough......teams will fight like dogs to stay up.Not expecting Arsenal to roll over,and that might focus everyone ,more !!!!
Have to disagree here. Opinion pieces don't annoy me, they are just that, an opinion. Inaccurate/irrelevant statistical analysis I find pretty annoying. The position of opponents in isolation means nothing, they have looked at the points that are being faced which is good but the home or away part is very important. Our run in is almost certainly the most difficult however you look at it, but the Arsenal and Leicester home games are far easier fixtures than this article allows for. Burnley away too.

I'm sure Paul Hayward would take issue with that.

Yup. Although, irritatingly, they've been better away from home this season (the not playing in a morgue, factor?)

But Southampton play better away from home, and they have six away games.
Which is great, but we only have 2 such games left.

We also got the shit end of the stick over the Xmas period, having to travel the furthest distance in the shortest amount of time.
If we manage to stay up, that’s a huge achievement and we should be proud of the team.

More sloppy journalism. Based purely on league positions. "8th. at home to 10th? 8th. will win. 10th. at home to 8th? 10th. might win on home advantage. 11th. or 12th. at home to 8th? Probably a draw"............an so on.
In their world, none of the top six ever get beaten by one of the other fourteen - it just doesn't register in their consciousness. I doubt if they realised, or believed, that Swansea recently beating Arsenal and Liverpool ever happened; they're certainly assuming nothing like it will ever happen between now and the end of the season.

Here you go: Teams ranked from 1 to 20 on their last four home games and ranked separately on their form in their last four away games. E.g Man City are 1st for home form, but 5th for away form. Southampton bizarrely are 20th for their home form, but 4th for their away form. Each team's remaining opponent given a number 1-20 based on their home or away form and the final total divided by 10 to give a mean position for each of their remaining 10 opponents. On current form our remaining fixtures are the 10th hardest. West Brom do look doomed however you measure it.
West Brom 9.00
Watford 9.40
Chelsea 9.60
West Ham 9.60
Everton 9.70
Southampton 9.70
Newcastle 9.80
Man Utd 10.00
Stoke 10.00
Brighton 10.20
Huddersfield 10.60
Leicester 10.70
Man City 10.70
Bournemouth 10.80
Swansea 10.80
Crystal Palace 11.30
Arsenal 11.60
Tottenham 11.90
Liverpool 12.60
Burnley 12.70

I agree with the Telegraph, our run in is the hardest and we will not get points against the top 6, Chris already believes this and it is shown by his team selection and tactics when we play them.
We must get our survival points from the other games and if not then we will go down.
