You didn’t expect any favours from Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester United, did you!?
Aston Villa and Chelsea moved level on points (66) with Newcastle United on Friday night after beating the Europa League finalists. So basically, it’s as you were for Eddie Howe’s side, who still need to win one of their two remaining games against Arsenal and Everton to qualify for the Champions League.
“No, it's not done,” Eddie Howe stressed at his pre-Arsenal press conference. “I think the picture can change game to game and I think that's what we've got to be really focused on is just our next game and trying to win it, which we will do.
“We have done this week. I think the preparation's been good. The focus has been there from the players. I think the outside noise will always be swayed by how you've done. And it's positive.
“But nothing's achieved until it's achieved. So we have to be really single-minded in that and not get distracted.”
