what team do people think will finish fourth in englang and why?

maybe spurs if thats them gonna start to get better again

Liverpool.

Spurs.

Manchester City.

i would like it to be spurs because it wont be long until man city are in top 4 all the time, and i dont like watchin liverpool they are soooooo boring and i cant stand rafa and spurs play more attractive football than aston villa

I honestly wouldn't rule Everton out yet, they obviously need other results to go their way as well as winning their own games but they're probably in the best form out of the teams from 4th to 8th. Imagine if they didn't have a horrible start to the season, they'd be right in it now.

It's actually quite tough to call, alot of the teams are still gonna play against each other so it'll probably come down to the results in them games. A month or so back I would've backed Spurs but they're losing key players to injury and Lennon's injury has been a massive blow with the form he was in. You never quite know with Villa, especially with O'Neill's record in the month of March with them since he's been there Liverpool have been there and done it and after having a woeful season (by their standards) are only a point off 4th at the moment. If they can get Torres back fully fit and Gerrard finds top form then they could easily go on a winning streak but you really never know this season with them. I just have a sneaky feeling it'll be City.

I would love that to be the case deity, but I just can't see us getting that 4th spot. It's just a shame we had such a disastrous start to the season, otherwise I'd be getting really quite excited at the prospect of beating Liverpool to Champions League football. :/

Man City,
because they have a better defense than Spurs and has better strikers than Villa.
Everton simply has too much catching up to do and Liverpool looks like they have lost all confidense.

It's a four-way race for 4th with all of them being pretty inconsistent. It might become a five-way race if all four clubs continue to stutter and Everton continue to impress.

Liverpool are really up against it. Even with Gerrard and Torres they have looked spineless and not up for the fight at times. They've played a game more than Spurs, two more than Man City and three more than Aston Villa, and they also have the weakest goal difference. Obviously it's all very close and it would be silly to right Liverpool off but we're mid-March now, they have to start racking up the points.

Spurs' run-in is awkward, they play United, Chelsea and Arsenal consecutively and could have big bearing on the title race, but other than that, they could still gain maximum points from every other fixture. I think they're the real outsiders right now though. Man Citeh have a decent run-in and they have to be the favourites now. A trip to Arsenal and the Manchester derby provide the only games where it's difficult to see them winning. Villa probably have the best run-in, a trip to Chelsea aside, they have a lot of comfortable games against mid-low table outfits and they would be a decent bet.

Liverpool's run in really isn't that bad but they do have to go to Old Trafford s well as host title-chasing Chelsea. I expect a reaction from them though.

Right now I'll go for:

4 - Man City
5 - Aston Villa
6 - Liverpool
7 - Spurs

I'd prefer Villa to qualify though.
