    Considering that City drawing one (+0), winning one, and us winning vs Everton (+1) means that they’ll have 1 match to outscore us by (at least) 4 to overcome the GD difference (they have scored more goals than we have, so they only have to match us)… yeah, that’s a weird take.

      It depends on the opposition they face.

      They have Spurs and West Ham? I think the Spurs players will make a good go of it, so hopefully it will be close (ideally a draw or a loss for Man City).

      As for West Ham, it depends which version of that Jekyll-and-Hyde team shows up. On their day they can be dangerous. Not on their day they concede a metric ton of goals.

      Everton can be tricky too, and it seems like they are in decent form. But it’s at our place, which will be rocking. Hopefully we can slam several goals past Pickford.

      I agree, I don’t think it’s likely that City will catch our goal difference. But it’s quite possible. Maybe 50/50, but with a lot of wild card variables.
