Will Chelsea get the much-coveted top 4 spot via the league?

So here we are, the final part of the 2018-19 Premier League season.

The endgame.

With the relegation battle more or less now over, all attention now turns to the ‘Top 6’.

With all six clubs – Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur – having six games left (Arsenal have 7, thanks for ruining the symmetry! Lol), I thought it would be a good time to check out the remaining fixtures that each club has left and make predictions on where each club will finish in the top 6 positions in the league.

More importantly… who will finish in the ‘Top 4’ and get Champions League football next season?

As it stands (at time of writing), the current state of each club is as follows:

• Manchester City – 32 games played, 80 points
• Liverpool – 32 games played, 79 points
• Tottenham Hotspur – 32 games played, 64 points
• Arsenal – 31 games played, 63 points
• Chelsea – 32 games played, 63 points (only below due to goal difference)
• Manchester United – 32 games played, 61 points

Man City and Liverpool are involved in the title race, so they’ll easily get Champions League football next season. As for the other four clubs, saying that it’s close is an understatement. Only 3 points separate them, with some tricky matches left for all of them.

So, let’s have a go at predicting the final stretch, shall we?
