FT Tottenham 2-2 Brighton
Keeps it interesting down there.
Next up Chelsea v Man Utd
We could be 3rd tomorrow!
Chelsea 0-1 Man Utd HT
Well, better for us if Chelsea don't win this.
Yep a draw would be decent too
Chelsea 0-1 Man Utd FT
Ah well, we won't go 3rd tomorrow but we could go 4th - and Sunderland would leapfrog Chelsea!
If we win tomorrow (don't fancy it, but we'll see) then we will have a 7-point cushion over Chelsea.
In terms of our desire to play in the Champion's League next season, it's a good result. Naturally I would like the Mancs to be finishing 6th or lower, but it has probably given us another 5% or so towards our own ambitions of being present in the competition next season, which we need.
Indeed we do - though I don't think it's going to take very much in terms of points for us.
Champion's League qualification "races" are so ridiculously messy compared to those for the title.
If we get points at a remotely similar rate to Chelsea and manage to avoid defeat to them at Anfield we should squeak it and then we can put this season behind us.
Probably the least fun we've had watching Liverpool since the 14/15 season and the 15/16 spell before Klopp's arrival.
