Spurs I think may struggle a bit more when the Europa comes back round again plus Vertonghen could be a big loss
IMO it's City and Liverpool.
It's time to accept we are not going to be in the title mix this season.

I actually don't think anyone here would suggest we were?

We do look the most vulnerable at present as we are having a wobble. But I'm confident that we will turn it around and get back on form, and when Europe starts again we will see the other contenders start to drop more points again.
Chelsea and Arsenal are guaranteed in that top 4 position.
Manchester City just have to much quality. I couldn't care less about the hope people have to see them falter, they have a great team and a good Manager.
I expect Tottenham to naturally screw it up, ask the Arsenal fans about that.
Liverpool are for me the ones we will go toe to toe with for fourth. To play their game for over a long course of a season just isn't viable, unless they have a bigger squad with similar quality around. Klopp being their Manager alone is the reason why they are up there. Their squad isn't exactly world-class.

I think some of us were hopeful rather than expectant that we could back in the mix.

Wouldn't say Arsenal are a shoe in at all.

It wasn't that long ago Spurs had gone what 9 without a win, we're currently on 3. City have looked patchy and have dropped unexpected points. Chelsea look the most solid and have to be favourites. United are on a massive unbeaten run but haven't managed to gain a top 4 place. Arsenal I think will do their usual. We'll also have to see whn European football kicks off again.
Liv and spurs. Thought the former were overachieving up until their form dipped, and spurs don't have depth, similar to liv. Injuries will happen.

While i agree Liverpool look most vulnerable, they will have the benefit of no europe again soon.
Let's not forget our run started with the last europa game of the group.
2 very good teams are gonna miss out... the consistency of the top 6 has been pretty amazing if you look at the points totals. 6th place might finish with 75 points or so. Very unusual.
Think it will be a photo finish between us, city and pool.
Chelsea were floundering early season, Spurs struggled early too. Arsenal went through a dip recently as have city.
The season has been so competitive and everyone has gone through rough patches. There will still be many twists and turns to come yet.
Anyone assuming anything at this stage is foolish. Any one of he top four could yet fall out, including Chelsea.
Seems weird people are assuming City are safe
They look very shaky.

Let's be honest here, Chelsea won't fall out. It's wont happen.
chelsea are 12 points clear of 5th, 4 full games clear with 16 to go.
i don't think they have been hugely impressive this season, most matches they have just done enough to win and no more, but pushing it to think they will give up 12 points to city (as well as 8-10 points to spurs/arsenal/pool)

He is right. Chelsea 100% won't get relegated now, everything else is still up in the air
City aren't in the top four, to be fair.
Liverpool look most vulnerable of the actual top four.
Chelsea and Arsenal are definites for me.
I personally think Chelsea will win the title with ease
However.....I had a look and they do have a tough set of fixtures still to play. There next 3 are Liverpool away, Arsenal at home and Burnley away who we know aren't an easy side to beat at Turf Moor.
They also have to go to OT and play West Ham away, Stoke away, Everton away 3 teams that are improving as the season goes on. Added to Bournrmouth and West Brom away
Chelsea will probably only need to win about ten of their remaining games to win the league.
