I think if you look at the last round of games, we put in the best performance of the three. Created loads of chances and limited Sheff Utd to nothing. We had the trickiest game on paper too. Not saying this means the best of the three, but none of the three are invincible, that includes Utd (who were lucky not to get pinned back to 1-1 last night). 

 

A win against Utd does it, but a result against Spurs could push us ahead of Chelsea. Huge couple of games for us. My head says 5th, my heart says 4th.

 

Though can you imagine beating Utd to prevent them getting CL at the expense of ourselves? Be hard to imagine a more sweet moment.

I think we will be going into the last game needing to beat Man Utd, which will be extremely tricky given our absentees. 

Yep totally agree.  Our CB's will get roasted for pace, but there again Maguire and Lindelof are not exactly speed merchants.

Who knows. Lets just enjoy the ride knowing we have some European football to enjoy next season. We didn't hope for anything more at the start of the season

 

Get the beers in!

I think it will be one of those three options, whatever happens (other than a goals against nightmare) it's down to the final game of the season.

I'd be tempted by 4-3-3/4-5-1 for that one, and play Hamza for extra mobility in midfield. Try and disrupt the supply lines from Pogba and Fernandes. Then play Barnes, Vardy + Gray/Perez which gives us decent pace/movement up top.

Someone may have noted this already, but if we somehow beat Totts and Yanited wins as assumed, as well as Chelsea losing at Anfield, that would mean both of us go into that last match knowing a draw is good enough.  I don't see how that doesn't dramatically impact the way both sides approach the game.

I’ll go as far to say this.

If we need to beat Utd on the final day to get CL it will have to be the most incredible performance ever.

The way we’ve been playing, our depleted squad, Utds form and squad , in a huge all or nothing game of this magnitude It would be the biggest single result in our entire history bar none if we pulled it off.

... and we can't get the advantage of having our fans behind the team. This could've produced another Sevilla type atmosphere that we have proved to be capable of. Bloody shame we'll all be sat on our sofa's.

We have Vardy, they have var, which will have the biggest impact on the game determines the result.

Whilst Vardy is in brilliant form for us, var is pretty much winning every game for Utd.

In the reverse fixture var was the difference between the two teams, steering Utd to a 1-0 victory.

I'm really torn on whether I want Chelsea to lose to Liverpool or to beat them.

 

On the one hand if they lost we'd still have a chance of securing 3rd. On the other, Liverpool would have lost 4 this season which would mean that our title winning squad was superior, which we already know it was.

 

Torn.

It could make for a boring game between us and Utd. I doubt both teams would agree to play out a draw as that is impossible with integrity of the game.

BR would probably start a back 7.

Even if they did there’s no way Vardy wouldn’t try and score a ha trick ....

As a stat obsessive I find your language offensive.

Excellent.

 

Its a weird few days coming up buddy. I’m not sure I’ve ever been a Leicester, Liverpool, West Ham, Villa and a Wolves supporter before...

dont know, saints made man utd drop points, we unexpectedly beat sheff utd.

 

Our goal difference advantage is quite low now as well, so thats up in the air as well.  We beat spurs, then its in our hands on the final game.
