the thing with our remaining fixtures is:
Crystal Palace (a) = not a team that sits back usually at home, and need points
Huddersfield (h) = in the games I've seen them on the box, not seen them sit back and try and counter
Bournemouth (a) = another team that doesn't sit back, doesn't suit their style, and due to the amount of teams below them they only need 8-10pts to stay up
Newcastle (h) = most probably due to be moved, and dependant on our progress in the CL. by the time we play them they might need to win games, but if an away point helps I really expect them to stick XI men behind the ball
Chelsea (a) = would take a draw if offered now, even though a win would end the mare once and for all. with their difficult run coming up and providing our results go our way above we could be 4 or 5pts ahead of them, so they won't sit back
Stoke (a) = can't afford to only pick up the odd point, as they need wins to stay up
Man City (h) = the way its going they should have the title wrapped up by then. with a good possibility we both would of played a CL match that week, and a week before the FA Cup semi, their could be a possibility they won't be going full strength.
Brighton (a) = apart from early on in the season I haven't seen them sit back, also this game could also be delayed due to the FA Cup semi weekend. might even be drawn v them in the quarters which guarantees it will be re-arranged
Watford (h) = do they know how to defend
West Brom (a) = could/should be down. if down we need to take it serious, as if they are down, they will play with freedom
Leicester (h) = tricky finish to be fair, really hope we don't need this to decide a top 4 finish.
all our dropped points at home this season have been bus parkers, including Chelsea, and they are our toughest away fixture.
with Man U still to play everyone in top 6 except us, they will drop points, and if they don't our rivals will also drop points.
Liverpool still have to play Man U and Chelsea away, so yet again our rivals will drop points.
Chelsea the only thing that might benefit them is being out of the CL, but they have to play both United and City away, and us and Liverpool at home. if they don't take any points (hoping v Man U is a draw), or v City, then our game could be the decider for them getting top 4.
