As I've done for the last 3 seasons now...here is the perceived 'Magic Number' that we need to attain to ensure safety....I know diff people have different takes on this but a number regularly refer to it...so here it is...it also doesn't take into account GD...but I can add that in if people wish.

Fixture congestion might help us: Southampton, Huddersfield, Swansea and West Ham have 3 games in 7-8 days in May. Southampton also have 4 games in April, including the cup semi-final. However ... Bottom line is: We need to win games! Edited by jhillman (09 Apr 2018 3.45pm)
As a kid in the mid-1950s, seeing the old floodlights from our kitchen window in Whitworth Road, the writing was on the wall. |

As long as we don't make the record for the only team to get relegated with record premiership points and the least premiership points.

The current magic numbers for each side ignores the game effect of games played against each other. If we start factoring those in, the system becomes much more complex! The current method is each side’s magic number, taken in isolation, which almost certainly overestimates the actual magic number. Not that I’m clutching at straws! If we can finish the season playing as we have done recently, I am sure we have enough about us to finish above West Brom, Stoke and Huddersfield. Finishing above anybody else would be a bonus.

It is also based on the team in 18th winning six out of six. Possible - but highly unlikely given that they have to play both Chelsea and Man City in those games.
