If Sherwood plays Adebayor, Soldado, Eriksen, Paulinho and Lamela, and they all find their best form, we'll comfortably finish in the top 4. In fact, if that happens, I'd say we'd push for a place in the top 2.
If Sherwood reverts to players who haven't provided much end product this season as regular starters (Lennon/Townsend/Defoe), then finishing in the top 4 will be much harder.
I expect at least a quarterfinal appearance in Europa. We should beat both Dnipro and Benfica. Napoli and Juventus are the two other top notch teams in the competition, so we'll likely draw one or the other before the finals.
