Wonder if this year it could be different with 8 or more in the mix right up until the end. Think it might be all very close with just a few points separating 12th downwards.
It's a bit early for this but 4 of our last 8 games are against Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.
That's actually not necessarily a bad thing. It means partly we've had easier games earlier on so had the chance to accrue more points.
Secondly, those sides are often playing lots more matches in various cup comps so are slightly more beatable than usual. Also, if they're in contention they might bottle it, Everton showed this last year. Took points off big teams to stay up despite having what looked an impossible schedule as they used home advantage plus tiring/distracted top sides.
