We've suffered a setback with the Villa and WBA games in recent weeks where we should have picked up an extra 4 points. But we're still in the driving seat.

Home games counts for nothing seeing how unpredictable we can be and the number of injuries we have, but we have a massive advantage over Arsenal and City who have very tough away games to come. Plus point is, it's easier to predict that Liverpool will give the top 6 teams a good fight as we always do but then and now we would drop points against teams in the lower half. The defense is worrying as many goals conceded have been errors due to individuals and a lapse of concentration.
It is very very possible that we could even finish 3rd this season. Chelsea will be our closest rivals, but if Moyes and Sherwood can get their Sh*t together, Spurs or Manure has a very good chance of grabbing the 4th spot seeing that they have already faced most of their rivals. I don't think Everton has what it takes to last seeing their lack of depth especially since their only recognized striker now is Naismith.
