If I am looking right they haven't played Liverpool, Arsenal, City, United, or Chelsea away yet. That could be a big lift in the remaining games.

The key to winning the PL has always been in winning against the lower-end teams rather than drawing and then its okay to draw the big teams away and maybe taking a win or two at home.

in their only games against the current top 6 they have 2 points
draws at home vs United and Spurs, loss at home to Arsenal
they have at Everton, at Liverpool, vs Man City, vs Bournemouth, at Spurs as their next 5 games
the 5 after that includes at Arsenal, at Man City, and Home to Liverpool as well (plus at Villa and home to Stoke)
so its pretty much going to make or break their season
they are the worst passing team in the league, and they are 18th in possession, it's going to end, teams are going to stop letting them play on the counter, the lower half teams will start sitting back and the top teams will outplay them on the ball
I see them taking a big drop, less than 10 points in the next 10 games wouldnt surprise me
