A continuation of similar threads from previous seasons. Gives some kind of indication of how the teams are getting on, bearing in mind they have different standards of opponents each week.
Title target = 87 points (based on 1 point higher than the highest team placed 2nd in recent years - which was actually Liverpool)
Top four target = 68 points (the highest a team has finished in 5th in recent years was on 67 points)
I have approximated the targets as follows. The 'easiest' and 'hardest' are based on last years league position. Newly promoted clubs count as bottom 3.
Title Target (87 points)
Requirements:
Win your 15 easiest games at home. Draw your hardest 4 (Utd, City, Chelsea, Arsenal).
Win your 11 easiest game away. Draw your next hardest 5 (Arsenal, Spurs, Everton, Fulham, Villa). Defeated at your hardest 3 (Utd, Chelsea, City)

Top Four Target (68 points)
Requirements:
Win your 11 easiest games at home. Draw your next hardest 6 (City, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton, Fulham, Villa). Defeated by hardest 2 teams (Utd, Chelsea)
Win your 8 easiest games away. Draw your next hardest 5 (Newcastle, West Brom, Sunderland, Villa, Fulham). Defeated at the hardest 6. (Utd, Chelsea, City, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton)
