Chelsea - 34 pld - 78 pts - 23 pts clear

Spurs - 34 pld - 74 pts - 19 pts clear

Liverpool - 34 pld - 66 pts - 2 pts from 4 games to go clear

City - 34 pld - 66 pts - 2 pts from 4 games to go clear

Utd - 34 pld - 65 pts - A Arsenal, A Spurs, A Southampton, H Palace (3 pts to clinch place above us)

Arsenal - 33 pld - 60 pts - H Utd, A Southampton, A Stoke, H Sunderland, H EFC (8 pts to clinch place above us)

Everton - 35 pld - 58 pts - A Swans, H Watford, A Arsenal

The mountain gets taller with each passing week but 6th is still in reach and 5th could be as well if you are an optimist of the highest order. EFC win and Ars/Utd draw and things get a little more interesting. As others have said thrilled with 7th but why not have something to cheer for over the next few weeks.

What's left:

Chelsea - 33 pld - 78 pts - 20 pts clear

Spurs - 33 pld - 74 pts - 16 pts clear

Liverpool - 34 pld - 66 pts - A Watford, H Southampton, A West Ham, H Boro

City - 32 pld - 64 pts - H Utd, A Boro, H Palace, H Leicester, H WBA, A Watford

Utd - 32 pld - 63 pts - A City, H Swans, A Arsenal, A Spurs, A Southampton, H Palace

Arsenal - 32 pld - 60 pts - A Spurs, H Utd, A Southampton, A Stoke, H Sunderland, H EFC

Everton - 34 pld - 58 pts - H Chelsea, A Swans, H Watford, A Arsenal

Not looking good but win for City today, us and Spurs on Sunday, would really stir the pot.

No favors from WBA or Chelsea, of course. Come on Boro.

Gibbs now third choice. Good enough for Everton? Should be reasonable price

For the dreamers seems to me possibility of moving up table goes Arsenal, Utd, Liverpool, City. Still remains incredibly unlikely but it's so refreshing to be in April and have something to play for after the past two seasons...

 

First prayer answered, thank you CP. Many more needed.

Definitely stuck behind Costa but seen him play 3-4 times as a sub and he looks good enough. Impressed by combo of speed and strength. Of all the people I mentioned he's least likely to join I would think - just signed for Chelsea. If we somehow got him on loan that would be incredible. Will need three strikers in the squad if we finish 7th this year.

Agree on cost effectiveness. Don't watch nearly enough football outside PL so I can only speak to those players.

These have stuck out to me this season:

Nathan Ake

Michy Batshuayi

Joel Campbell (international duty)

Manolo Gabbiadini

Jordan Pickford

Winston Reid

Virgil van Dijk

James Ward-Prowse

Everton 2 - 0 Leicester

Rom

Utd 1 - 2 Everton

Baines

Taking a brief reprieve from the derby and tmw's match...anyone heard anything about where Everton will play this summer? USA appearance too much to hope for? Any rumblings/rumors with regard to next years kits? Been awfully quiet on both fronts and its April already.

Liverpool 0 - 1 Everton

Barkley

I love Ronald's quietly infectious confidence. 'We are missing 3 important players but I can still select a very strong team.' So much better than the 'knives to a gunfight' drivel of the past.

that comment had me wondering what's left after all these injuries. Strong 11 sure, bench hardly.

Definite starters: Joel Baines Williams Jags Holgate Ross Lukaku Gueye Davies

Starter/Bench: Mirallas Barry Valencia DCL Lennon

Bench: Stek Lookman Kone Dowell Pennington Kenny Walsh

Out: Coleman Schneiderlin Mori McCarthy Bolasie Besic

This team selection is going to be fascinating

In terms of position, he is perfect for behind rom alongside Ross.

Surely he has more to offer than Mirallas/Lookman/DCL/Lennon and anyone else we have put out there at this point.

Everton - 50 pts - A Shite, A Utd, H Leicester, H Burnley, A West Ham, H Chelsea

This entire exercise is pointless if we don't take points from the Shite and Utd but looking ahead we get Leicester right before their Champs League game and Chelsea for their 3rd game in 8 days.
