Fight for fourth spot is very far from over

Despite the victory against Everton putting us 5 points ahead of them, we're still not in the safe zone just yet. We've got a triple header with Arsenal in the space of a week, all are important and very difficult games, while Everton only have to play Derby (who have nothing left to play for).
Things have a habit of changing all too quickly in football and this weekend that 5 point gap is likely to be reduced (hopefully not too much). At the risk of sounding like a pessimist I don't see us beating Arsenal at the Emirates stadium, but a draw would be a good result and we should be able to maintain a reasonably healthy point gap above Everton.
