That's what we seem to hear every year as points are dropped left, right and center. That's what Liverpool heard in 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2020/21 as the team slogged it out for a Champions League place. The reality, of course, is that every team involved does want top four. In fact, they're all desperate for it. Right now, they each have 39 points after 20 games, an average of 1.95 points per match.
Manchester United opened the campaign with back-to-back defeats, while Newcastle only accumulated eight points from its first seven games. Indeed, if you look back across over the last 10 matchdays instead, Newcastle have picked up 24 points (2.4 per game) and Manchester United 22 (2.2).
