i think we'll get 72-75 points and come under pressure but still finish in the top 3. Our squad size may well become an issue which is why i think our points per game will drop a bit in the second half of the season even though we don't have to play Liverpool again and we have the traditionally tougher fixtures at home such as Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City
Next 4 league games we have 3 winnable home games and a winnable away game. 5 of our next 7 games (including cup) are at home which is a great run of fixtures to break the back of the season.
Southampton (home), Burnley (away), West Ham (home), Chelsea (home).
3 wins out of our next 4 premier league fixtures and we'll be on 54 points after 25 games. Even abject relegation form (1 point per game) from then on will see us with enough points to get into the Top 4 based on averages (68 for 4th position). Anything above relegation form and we'd be top 3....
I think we'll lose to Man City in the League Cup Final, although i secretly hope we get Man Utd and Vardy tears Maguire a new a-hole at Wembley.
I don't think we'll get too far in the FA Cup as we've got a lot to focus on already for the size of squad we've got.
