Brighton (H), Sunday 13 May, 3pm.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

A Cup Final of sorts. Win & we're top 4. A lowly ambition based on the last 4 weeks, but needs must.

 

They're mathematically safe so that probably helps, mind perhaps the pressure of potential relegation could have screwed them...

 

A full week off before, 2 weeks off after, need the crowd to treat this as a dress-rehersal for the big one

[Gethin]

Also don't forget Chelsea have to go to Huddersfield on Weds - they're not safe from the drop so they'll need a result 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

True, wold be great but can't see it. Chelsea have their ruthless groove on again

They host Huddersfield. Chelsea go away to Rafa on the last day.

Bugger. But still - slim shot but would be great if they could get something and we could relax 

[psl]

Really hope Salah scores a couple. Want him back in the groove before the final.

I'm going to this, bring the whole family over. It's my birthday - and after spending 90 minutes police-escorted and 90 minutes having to keep quite in the home end at my last match in Rome - I want a raft of Liverpool goals to celebrate.

i think chelsea are safe from the drop mate

Huddersfield are 3pts clear of Southampton and Swansea who play each other tomorrow. As Southampton have City last game, they’ll want a Swansea win or a draw.

 

It’ll be some crack if Southampton win. They’ve a +7 GD over Swansea. Swansea would need to win their last game at home to Stoke by a few and City to be City and put a few past Southampton- it could be goal difference that does it.

 

Huddersfield are home to Arsenal last day and have the worst goal difference. If they lose away at Chelsea and home to Arsenal with Southampton winning tomorrow and Swansea beating Stoke last day then it’s Huddersfield down on GD.

 

They need a point at Chelsea and that should do them.

[cocknose]

Bit mad how we are in this position.

 

2-0 up against West Brom with 10 mins to go.

A home game against now relegated Stoke.

Chelsea 2-0 down against Southampton with 20 mins to go.

 

Crazy stuff.

 

Brighton are annoying in that they will defend deep and are organised, but you'd certainly hope we'd have enough to win after a full week off.

 

It's Middlesbrough from the last game of last season all over again.

Interesting to look at the bench for that game. For all our overall improvement in terms of squad, is it any worse than our current bench?

Our injuries are pretty harsh at the moment though

I'd rather have Origi on the bench than Solanke.

 

That being said I'm not sure how Origi has been doing of late?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

5 goals in 30 appearances this season - not sure how many of those are starts vs subs

Ah OK, cheers for the info

[downunder]

Didn’t he start the season really well and then bombed?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

seems to be the case yeah

 

21 starts, 9 sub apps in the league - 1876 mins = 21 games give or take, he's scored 1 since early Nov. Wolfsburg are 3rd bottom, so is he doing poorly because they're crap?

Solanke has appeared 26 times - duck eggs only to report.
