I have to be honest before the NLD I expected us to be a point ahead of Arsenal and 2 ahead of Chelsea as of this morning.
The 10pt gap was always going to be eroded having to go to Arsenal,Everton and Chelsea and having United at home.
I think a few said, worse case scenario 1pts from those 4 (the 1 being Everton, not Chelsea though), but lets be honest it was always a big possibility.
Getting the draw on Saturday was the 3pt gain on Chelsea, but for me Arsenal's 2 wins on Merseyside have made all the difference and as Libero rightly states, you do have to give them credit for those.
I didnt see both wins coming which is where the 4pts swing came from in my reckoning.
Getting 4 home wins now is crucial for us, anything less would be costly in terms of 3rd place.
April 7th/8th fixtures 'could' be the pivotal weekend where we get right back in it. Us winning at Sunderland and Arsenal dropping points to City is a big ask but it could happen
If we can keep pace and maybe sneak a point in front by the time it gets to the last weekend in April then I would fancy us to finish above them becuase I think we will get a 2 point swing our way on the last day anyway. If we are still 3-4 points behind by the time we play Blackburn then I think 4th is where we will finish.
