What a weekend, not one of the 4 champions league place chasers could manage 3pts, in fact the 4 of them could only muster 1 point between them.
I don't think eirher Liverpool or City are sweating on next season as it looks very much another 2 horse race already, by some distance too.

At present I am not concerned about next season, as after the weekend results only one team, Chelsea, gained a point on us in the quest for CL football.
Against Wolves, we have Sokratis back and possibly Xhaka, so we may be able to put out a much stronger starting eleven.
With 4 matches left our destiny is still in our own hands, win all 4 and we qualify for the CL. Easier said than done, with 3 tough away fixtures and 2 EL SF matches to navigate. With Chelsea and Man U having to play each other points must be dropped. Toot have the easiest run in on paper, whilst Man U have to play Man C and Chelsea, but have 2 very winnable matches to follow.
I belive that if we can manage 2 wins and 2 draws, 74 points should do the trick.

Can't see us going unbeaten at Wolves Leicester and Burnley as don't think we have the discipline to pull that off.
I am thinking about next season because no way can it be as erratic and uncontrolled as this season has been, there have been far too many occasions, when it's been a free for all shootouts where we rely on teams not taking the numerous chances we allow them.
We need to be much much more in control of games next season if the unrest we had under Arsene is to be avoided.
