Looking at the league table, with Spurs, Everton and Villa all with games in hand on us, we need to take at least 4 points from the Liverpool and Everton games.

Yes MDW, a minimum after draw yesterday. And we will still have to play Man City, Leicester, West Ham and Villa after the Merseyside duo.

No the minimum is to not lose to any of our nearest rivals.
The run in could go anyway partly dependent on key injuries and involvement in other major competitions.

Hope you right Strasbourg. You may be. But if our rivals include all down as far as Villa in 9th position, who if they won their games in hand would be a point ahead of us, we would have to draw against no less than six 'rivals' in with a reasonable chance of making top 4 (and if ruling out Arsenal as one of them) . They are: Leicester, Everton, LFC, Spurs, West Ham and City. We would possibly then have to win all the other 6 games to get to 70 points if we think that will be what is required this season for ECL and given our lack of goals recently.
But do you/ we reckon 65 or 66 may be enough this season?
