If only it was going to be that easy.
At this point, they both need victories over us far more than we need to defeat them. I have faith that Everton will be able to do us a favor or two between now and the end of the season. Them taking 6 points off both is a bit much, but I feel reasonably confident we can count on Everton snatching at least 2 points, if not 4, from them. While Bolton helped us out with Chelsea last year, I don't fancy their chances at Stamford Bridge, even in what might be a battle for Premiership survival for them. Instead, I honestly think Newcastle might be able to pull something off at St. James'.
Dropping points to Boro was a bit of a letdown, but the fact of the matter is that before kickoff, we needed 14 points to put us out of reach of Chelsea's max, which translates to 4 wins and 2 draws, so we're still right on track.
