Mathematically we can't afford to lose. Although in practice if we win all the other games we are likely to.
Although IMO we won't win all the other games.

Their game in hand is against each other.
They already have a game in hand over us. They have 5 games left each. We have 4 games and if we lose on Sunday and they both win this weekend they'll be ahead of us with a game in hand. The fact the game in hand is against each other is neither here nor there, they'll both be above us already...Their game in hand is against each other.
Aye but if we lose on Sunday then beat QPR and Wigan it'll be in our hands on the final day. I think mathematically we can afford to lose but it would mean anymore slip ups would be fatal.

Letters is correct. They both win this weekend and we lose, then either losing their game in hand against each other won't be enough for us to get top 4. Once again, our fate isn't in our own hands - apart from having to win all our remaining games after the weekend to give ourselves a chance on the final day of the season.
Luckily, we have a predisposed bottling scum team (though AVB seems to have worryingly instilled a tad bit of belief over at the swamp), and an agent in the form of a Spanish waiter marshalling the chavs, making it highly probable that we'll finish 3rd again this season.
In that case:
Easiest way to think about it is to pretend they've played their game in hand against each other and both lost.
Impossible, obviously, and better than any real scenario but let's just pretend.
If we lose this weekend, Chelsea and Spurs win.
Spurs are a point ahead of us, Chelsea 2 points. We all have 3 games left. Not in our hands.
But I expect all 3 sides to drop points before the end of the season. Wigan are fighting for their lives and may do us a favour, Chelsea still have to go to Utd, we're little bit shit.
We'll win all our remaining games.
....Plus we have Wenger.
Cripps.
We are coming 5th.. thats all that needs to be said and discussed. This will be the season we bottle it!
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
