They've got some difficult games before that but then that run suggest they'll pull clear of trouble, and hopefully take points from a lot of those teams too.

That difficult run in the next 5-6 games will likely drag them into it though. Everyone starts getting nervous then, could lose to those teams at the bottom and be relegated themselves!

I don't think they did great business in Jan and the team does rely too much on Zaha. Could be this year's team to crash down the table.

And Zaha is out for a few weeks.

Palace- They do have some other quality and experience though. Olise is good. Schlupp very underrated. Decent keeper and defenders. They don’t score enough this year though…

Bournemouth 1-0 up over Newcastle who have been appalling so far. Not great results today. Only Southampton and us lost but Southampton look doomed anyway.

Lose to City next week, which we presumably will, and then at West Ham, which we could well do, and we might find ourselves back in the bottom three come the Everton game. A few clubs are finding wins now as the stakes get higher.

That would require Everton, Leeds, West Ham all winning twice which is pretty unlikely, particularly as Leeds are playing Everton. 

Leeds have Everton and Southampton next two games after this weekend. Would love two draws there

Ok, so maybe not in the bottom 3 but certainly in there if we lose to Everton. In the mixer again. We need to dist oursleves down and go again. Hopefully get a few injured players back for the wham game.

We always knew this would happen at some point, always going to have runs of tougher fixtures. Just need to be patient.

Not panicking at all, I always had us down to get nothing today, same with next weekend too. But suffice to say Everton is a must win game.

I'm sure I saw somewhere that each of the bottom eight still has to play every one of the top ten. That might have been before today's fixtures.

Nothing changes.
Get 36 points and we have a 90% of staying up.
38 points keeps you up in every one of the past 10 seasons
