So 12th place, 31 points, 10 games to go.
Our last 10 games, however, do include playing 8 of the current top 9 teams (4 home, 4 away) with Chelsea the only exclusion.
Realistically how many points are we going to take from these? It seems to be a tall order to get as many points as there are games, BUT, I am hopeful that we can upset a big team and 9th place Everton are only 3 points above us. Are there 2 or 3 games in these 8 fixtures that we can say, 'yeah we have a good chance there, must win'.
04/03/18 - Arsenal (H) - 6th position.
10/03/18 - Everton (A) - 9th position.
31/03/18 - Leicester (H) - 8th position.
07/04/18 - Huddersfield (H) - 14th position.
14/04/18 - Palace (A) - 17th position. (mind the gap)
20/04/18 - Tottenham (H) 4th position. - Potentially being moved due to FA Cup.
28/04/18 - Burnley (A) 7th position.
05/05/18 - Manchester United (H) - 2nd position.
13/05/18 - Liverpool (A) - 3rd position.
NOTE: Man City (A) to be rescheduled as one of us made it into the FA Cup QF, probable date would be the week after or on the Spurs game date depending on progression in FA cup. Also Man U (A) in the FA cup on 18/03/18.
Right, so the questions are, how many points in realistic in this 10 game run? And will it be enough to stay up? - Bear in mind we have only taken 3 points from these 10 teams when we played the reverse fixtures.
