Everyone will drop points against teams below the top 4. Arse have dropped points against Birmingham (twice) villa, pompey, blackburn, newcastle etc, man utd have lost 4 and all against teams who arent exactly great. Bolton, Man City (Twice) and west ham. It would be easy to say its all about when we play Man utd and Arse at home, Liverpool still need to go to manchester and north london too. Man utd still have arsenal. But tbh its not just the battles of the top 4, you need to do your jobs against the other sides too. Teams from say 13th (Newcastle) and below need the points just as much as us top 3 do.
