Then we have a chance.Slaven Bilic is also ready for a top-four fight and said after the win over Watford: This is not over... We will give everything in this last four games to win all of them. Where that will take us we dont know but we are going to give everything and if we play like this or even better we have a chance against every team.Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker was in a similarly fighting mood, telling Sky Sports News HQ before the West Brom game: I think as long as the team is still hungry, still wants to go for it, thats going to be the key.

Its tough to call, too.West Ham bounced back from their late draw with Leicester with a positive performance against Watford, but Manchester United will also be optimistic of reeling in the two teams above them.A win for either Man City or Arsenal when they meet in the penultimate round of fixtures could send the loser crashing out of the Champions League qualifying spots.Citys involvement in the Champions League semi-finals cannot be discounted, either.

For Laurie Daley, its starting to feel like 1989 all over again and he can feel a shock Canberra premiership coming on.With two rounds left, the Raiders, lightly fancied at season kickoff, have emerged as a genuine title threat and Daley cant help but be reminded of 27 years ago when he helped guide the Green Machine to their maiden title.It reminds me of 1989 when no one really gave us a chance, Raiders great Daley said.All of a sudden, you get yourself in a position and you start to win and that breeds confidence and, for whatever reason, it happens.As an ex-player, it starts to get exciting because its the first time in a long time I genuinely feel were a good chance of winning.A glance at the 1989 Raiders squad reveals they were stacked with stars from top to bottom - Daley, Mal Meninga, Brad Clyde, Glenn Lazarus, Gary Belcher and Steve Walters were also superstars of their era.It seems in stark contrast to the Raiders of 2016 who boast just one State of Origin player in Jossh Papalii.ddddddddddddHowever, Daley points out that many in that Raiders squad didnt establish themselves on the representative scene until after their premiership win.Daley, Stuart, Clyde and Walters didnt play rep football until that year or the year after their grand final win over Balmain.And while key position players Blake Austin, Aidan Sezer and Jack Wighton have no Origins and one finals appearance between them, Daley said they had the qualities to handle the pressure of September.I think that history would suggest that you would need your key position players to have played big games, Daley said.But the way theyre playing at the moment would suggest to me theyre very confident.Theyve got a hooker (Josh Hodgson) who has played for Great Britain, Sezer and Austin and Jack Wighton, theyre probably guys who are capable of playing rep football.
