    Would love to see Leicester maintain form and finish in the top four, if there was ever a year that it will happen it will be this season with the likes of Chelsea, United & Liverpool all performing so badly.

    Last match Tottenham and Newcastle both need a win to lift the trophy/avoid the drop. They're celebrating in the Emirates with a minute left as it stays 2-2 in Newcastle when Kane scores the winner

    Not sure if Leicester will be able to hold onto their advantage over Utd and Liverpool, but I think they are the most likely of the rest to make the top 4.

    Once Man City have Aguero, Silva and Kompany back fit, they'll go on a run to seal the title. Arsenal will be out of the CL after the next round, which will allow them to have a good shot at the title but they don't have the bottle to get the dirty points you need to win the league. I think Spurs are starting to look like a seriously strong outfit under MP. The Europa league will hurt them though. They'll get third.

    The oul football romantic in me desperately wants to see Leicester or even Everton or Palace get that fourth slot, as opposed to Man United, Liverpool or Chelsea. I think Chelsea have too much ground to make up, United just don't seem to have the squad and Liverpool, the most likely candidates to get fourth, are so hard to predict. They scraped a very dull win against Leicester last time out but they are just as likely to get turned over tomorrow night against Sunderland.

    18. Bournemouth
    19. Norwich
    20. Villa

    Just as tricky to predict two of the bottom three. Villa are history. I think Sam is one of the few managers who has the ability to keep Sunderland up. He is going to sign a few defenders in January and they will stay up, just. in my opinion. Newcastle aren't playing badly and I think they'll start to pick up more points in the new year under McClaren. The wear and tear of the PL season will cause Bournemouth and Norwich to go down.

    I think Everton are the best of the chasing pack. If they can get a back 4 of Coleman jag stones baines they have an outside chance of catching Leicester. Unlike Liverpool or utd they have a balanced squad and know how to attack . They have been quite naive at the back but have been very unlucky in recent weeks to not have got a lot more points.

    Norwich Sunderland villa for the drop.

    The need to hold on to Stones. I think Chelsea will pursue him aggressively in January. If he goes, it'll mean the end of that entertaining little ditty 'Money can't buy you Stones' from the Everton fans. :(

    Has Anyone realized Everton are 10th and can't buy a win ?

    We won't get 4th. Defensively awful and if Lukaku has a bad run of games we're in big trouble. We can't kill games off.

    You have a lot more going for yiz than some of the teams ahead of you. Only 3 or 4 pts off 5th and have been fierce unlucky to not have picked up atleast 4 or 5 more points the past few games.

    Top 4 is hard to call but i think Leicister form will drop but theyll get top 6. Spurs i think will just miss out but itll be very tight. i think the last two places for top 4 could be interchangeable between spurs, united, liverpool and leicster.

    Bottom 3 villa are gone already no hope of getting back. Newcastle and Norwich arent great and feel sam will keep sunderland up and bournmouth will just scrape survival along with swansea.

    Would absolutely love to see Leicester in the top 4, hopefully I've called it wrong.

    Sunderland don't get relegated, no matter how hard they try.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Just watched Sunderland v Liverpool tonight and it would be a tragedy if that Liverpool team got into the top four ahead of Leicester or Spurs. I think Sunderland will go down now, contrary to my bottom three post yesterday. If Sam manages to keep that team up, it'll be a May miracle. They really are awful.

    Think your right but arsenal , man city and spurs will be there ( spurs perhaps as champions , if kane keeps fit )
    I forsee leicester falling away unfortunatley ( for the romance)
    Liverpool though pretty meh are finding ways now to win and i think its utd to lose out ( unless lvg goes now) so

    1/ spurs
    2/ arsenal
    3/ man city
    4/ liverpool

    Why? The squad is woeful and they also have the Europa league to contend with.

    The squad isn't half as bad as people like to make out it is. A new manager and growth in confidence would do wonders. Mourinho in, a new player for the first XI in January and get players like Memphis, Mata and Schneiderlin playing with confidence and I can definitely see them winning the title. It's anyone's this year.

    Why? If they get into the top four it'll be because they got more points than those teams. End of story. If they don't they won't.
