Premier League Update
So, we have reached the final week of the Premier League season and there is still some drama to unfold. Three of the four Champion League teams are decided; Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham. One spot is still open to be decided this weekend. Liverpool wins or draws and they advance. Chelsea win and Liverpool loses and Cheslea advance. Liverpool on a bit of a down turn and more focused on Champions League final, so you never know.
Race for the Top 4.
Manchester City 31-4-2 97 points. 37 games. Champions.
Manchester United 24-6-7 78 points. 37 games. Qualifies for CL.
Tottenham 22-8-7 74 points. 37 games. Qualifies for CL.
Liverpool 20-12-5 72 points. 37 games.
Chelsea 21-7-9 70 points. 37 games.
Arsenal 18-6-13 60 points. 37 games.
Race for the Relegation Zone. Huddersfield found a way to tie Chelsea this past weekend and that one point means they are safe and survive another year in the Premier League.
17. Southampton 36 points.
18. Swansea City 33 points. Mathematically alive but will lose goal differential tie breaker.
