Re: How many points from the next five matches?
In my opinion, we need 36 points to guarantee safety (tight but OK). That should NOT be our mindset though. Points predictions are almost impossible in the Premier League, unlike the Championship. However, I will go for... Chelsea (h) 1 Hull (a) 1 Swansea (a) 3 Liverpool (a...if played) 0 Sunderland...

They did run it and lose a yard on first down, so 2nd and 11 on the 23. if he kneels down twice, lose two more yards, 4th and 13 on the 25; add 8 yards for the throw back to the kicker, and add 10 yards for the width of the end zone, you get a 43 yard field goal.
