Mathematically & footbally correct - maybe.

I have one for you:
Is 66 from 42 better or worse than 66 from 43?

Depends if they win their game in hand.

Worse - if the 1 you have left over is totally useless. Please see league table for explanation.

Neither. It's the same.

What both are '... from 43' is the more pertinent question.

Neither. It's the same.

With each passing match, their points plus goal difference status actually gets WORSE. they'd be better off if they could just stick as they are now, cancel their remaining 4 games, and pray they don't get overtaken.

And goal difference needs to be taken into account, so it's almost more like 66.5 vs 66.

It would be mildly amusing - though perfectly in keeping with the unpredictability of this division - if goal difference became Palace's undoing, especially when they have the division's leading goalscorer playing for them.
