Mathematically, to guarantee it

We're two points ahead of third (whether or not Leeds win the game in hand). So if they win all their remaining games, to stay ahead of them we need to win all our remaining games; or win 12/13 and draw one but end up with a better GD than them.

In practice though as fond says if we run at ~2pts/game from here to the end we'd have to be very unlucky not to go up.

I'm not sure if anyone's ever got 90pts or more and not gone up - that's as good a threshold as any to think of (and where you get if we win MB's eight and lose the other five as well)
