So it’s 4 into 3 heading into the last 10 or so games of the season, arsenal gone now, it was their last chance to cling onto the coattails but they got a battering, makes more sense for them to forget about the league and go all out in Europa but still can’t see them getting past Napoli/athletico, a side note, miki recapturing his Utd form was amusing after all the talk last week
Hopefully Chelsea’s form continues a few more weeks as that would take them out of it, think the top 4 now will be how the league will finish expect maybe spurs/Liverpool swapping places
Liverpool’s home form will be enough to get them into the top 4 and spurs hitting form at the right time, think we will do just enough to secure 2nd place, get past Seville and a favourable draw in the qf then maybe a 2nd place finish and decent cl showing is not too bad of a season, fa cup still there as well
Race for cl places

Yeah they were changed for the 2015/16 season. Before then there was a maximum of four in the CL from one country.

In May 2013,[48] it was decided that, starting from the 2015–16 season (and continuing at least for the three-year cycle until the 2017–18 season), the winners of the previous season's UEFA Europa League would qualify for the UEFA Champions League, entering at least the play-off round, and entering the group stage if the berth reserved for the Champions League title holders was not used. The previous limit of a maximum of four teams per association was increased from four to five, meaning that a fourth-placed team from one of the top three ranked associations would only have to be moved to the Europa League if both the Champions League and Europa League winners came from that association and both finished outside the top four of their domestic league

You might be right lol but I thought some reason the 5th one was only allowed if it was the EL.

My bad but thats good news UEFA encourage teams to do well in CL.

It's interesting that they only set it for three years. Surely it will continue though.

Uefa's rules are always on three year cycles.

Gonna be a tough race between us spurs and Chelsea. Such a pity we couldn’t hold on against spurs last week.
I said the other day i think it will be us and spurs, but you can never count Chelsea out and they could put a run together.

I believe they've got United and City away back to back after this weekend, surely points will be dropped there. We need to be ready to take advantage.

Yeah but you can never tell with Chelsea, i didn’t expect spurs to take 7 points from united us and arsenal in a matter of weeks for example.

Depends if Conte gets sacked.
