Yeah, if some crazy shit with goal difference doesn't happen all Leicester has to do to finish over Utd is to win at home against them. 

Chilwell and Maddison should be back so it's quite possible. 

They can throw Spurs game and put all in that one (not happening). 

But still Mourinho should win for us and themselves.

Chilwell and Maddison out of the season

@NikkiCFC is correct though

even If Leicester lose v Spuds (especially if only by a goal)

then unless Manure go wild and win by 4 or more (unless Spuds win by 2, then 3 or more)

Leicester would top Manure on GD with a one goal win so no CL for manure

and for sure they would beat them if they win by 2 goals (then manure would need to win by 5 or 6 v the shammers)

a draw in the Spuds game is perfect, as then ONE of  either Leicester or manure cannot catch cannot catch if we win v Wolves and Leicester still can knock out manure with a win

do the maths

as long as we win and spuds draw

if manure win out and we beat wolves (and lose to the dippers)

Manure 68

Chels 66

Leicester 63

 

if we beat wolves  and Leicester draw with spuds, then beat manure

Leister 66 (3rd  GD)

Chels 66

Manure 65

 

if we beat wolves and Leicester lose to spuds but beat Manure (the BEST outcome possible if we lose to the dippers)

Chels 66

Leicester (80% + likely) 4th on GD at 65

Manure at 65 and fifth

He sounded so confident that scenario could happen, just like he - and some others - thought Leicester would lose to Sheffield United but look what happened...

The problem with that ideal scenario is IF Leicester win at Spurs - plus Man United beat West Ham - and we lose at Liverpool, then both Leicester and United will be on 65 points and we will have 63 points. Considering they have way better GD than us, what's stopping them from just playing for a draw? Why would they take any risk when a draw is enough for both qualify for the Champions League? 

To alleviate some pressure off us, one of Leicester or United must drop points against Spurs or West Ham respectively. If either one do, then we can afford a defeat at Anfield and still finish in the Top 4 by beating Wolves. Otherwise, we must get at least 4 points from Liverpool and Wolves.

Jose will do it for us.

Rodgers apparently confirmed that Maddison and Chilwell are done for their last two matches. So if we can get a Mourinho special and United beat them on the final day we'll be good.

[Jase 43,479]

No chance this will happen but I just noticed that IF Leicester and United lose to Spurs and West Ham, it would guarantee us a Top 4 spot before we even kick off at Anfield.

Yeah I saw it now. Well, bad news for Leicester. I was hoping they could finish somehow over Utd.

I favour Spuds to at least draw

they hate Leicester (the 1 in a million season that stole (lolol so the spuds army says) t'heir 'EPL trophy) <<< and it was US who killed them off!!!! (so maybe not so much hate as some is against us)

[Pizy 18,516]

Really kinda fucking sad that in no scenario we have been discussing as possible do any of us give us a chance against Liverpool. We're basically all just inking that in as a loss. Which is fair considering our defense.

We need our lads to summon the spirit of Napoli/Barca/Bayern 2012 for these last two matches. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This lot doesn't have it in them, too inexperienced.

I know. 😔

Just gotta hope the Scouse bastards are still out of sorts like they have been lately and that the Wolves players are down having been ruled out of the CL running.

[Jype 6,398]

I'm doing my bit to help the cause, just stuck 100€ on Leicester to win on Sunday. Maybe that will jinx it like my bets usually do.

The thing is, this team have shown that they can defend and defend properly when they put their minds into it - e.g. the recent win against Man City. But yeah, more often than not, they have defended like clowns.

I am not saying we do not have a chance , hell we could eve win

but i am trying to point worst case scenarios as those are the ones that show when another team is truly eliminated, obviously if we win the last 2 league games we are 3rd (and hell maybe, if we win the 3rd game, the semi v Manure, playing in an FA Cup final) Hell I do not even completely write us off v Bayern, as it is not back in Munich, and stranger things have happened

Kante is crucial for a potential win
