Well, Leicester are playing Watford so one of them will be out of reach, and they both have a game in hand. Palace are playing Hull, so a Palace win will put them out of reach.
It's all about Hull, it's highly unlikely we'll get anywhere near the others. We could regret the missed chances against Man U - I think we needed to get something out of that game as Hull are on a bit of a roll.
Sunderland are key to all this - will they continue to be poor, or now the pressure's off are they going to turn up and play for some pride. It's not unusual to see relegated teams suddenly pick up a couple of results.
What will be will be... |  | | |

This is why I said one for the optimists.
I can see us winning all three games, whilst for example it's not inconceivable for Watford to lose all four games
Same for several others
So all those teams still have a lot to play for and a lot of those fixtures are against top sides. | |

I don't buy that.
Over the past few months, we have played and lost to Watford, West Ham, Hull, as well as playing and beating Burnley, Leicester, Stoke and Palace.
None of those teams are great shakes.
Any one of the five named, as well as Hull and Palace are capable of going on a losing streak and capitulating.
Lot will happen over the next few weeks

For me its all about whether we manage to start scoring goals again.
Forget the other teams. |  |

Everyone saying Hull won't beat Spurs on the last day. Sorry, but Chelsea are not going to slip up with their run-in. Spurs are almost guaranteed second place now. It will be certain well before then. It's at Hull and if they, Hull, need the win, they'll want it far more than Spurs who won't want any injuries to spoil their holidays.
It's The game against Palace that will be the turning point if any. Lose or draw that then 3 wins for us will almost certainly keep us up. Unless they score a shed load against Sunderland or Spurs of course! |  |

Yes, going to be very interesting. Let's hope we can get 3 wins and watch a few of those teams start twitching ;) |  |

3 wins and I'd be surprised if we didn't finish above Hull | | | |

I didn't say I'm confident that any particular team will go down or stay up.
Just saying that providing we win all our games, any of the other teams named, not just Hull or Palace, could find themselves relegated | |

It doesn't matter how much optimism you have, it's mathematically impossible (bar a massive GD swing) for us to catch one of Leicester or Watford. But I'm being pedantic.
Hopefully we will win all three. It's a massive ask as the last time we one 3 on the bounce was in May 2015. But there is hope; we won 3 out of 4 in Jan/Feb, with Man C only breaking the streak. And we're showing the same qualities now that we had in that run. If we play to the best of our recent form, then yep, we can win all three. It needs us to not go to S'land and play like we did against Hull and Watford recently. | | | |

But if we do win then it is massively important how other teams do. |  |

Optimist's view: If we win all 3 matches then we can finish above any team currently on 40 points or less.
Pessimist's view: Today if Hull win and we lose then we're relegated.
I'm switching between these viewpoints every 5 minutes and it's bloody tiring. |  |
