The 3 teams fighting to win the EPL are Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. Arsenal and Liverpool both have 64 points while M City has 63.Arsenal is considered the leader as they have a bigger goal difference than Liverpool. Of the 3 sides, Liverpool has the "easiest" next match and will play against Brighton. Liverpool should not take Brighton lightly but is expected to win. Should Liverpool get full points for that match, they have the chance to become the new leader of the EPL depending on the outcome of the Arsenal Vs M City match. A draw will see Arsenal dropping to 2nd place while a M City win will allow City to overtake Arsenal. This will mean that Arsenal drop 2 places within a week. Aston Villa and Tottenham are fighting to see who will finish 4th and so qualify for next season's Champions League. In their last matches Villa dropped points in a 1-1 draw with West Ham. Tottenham failed to capitalize on this when they were upset 0-3 by Fulham. This weekend Villa will face another tough match against Wolves. Tottenham hopes to spring back from their upset by Fulham in their next match which is against a team trying to avoid relegation, Luton The 6th place club, Manchester United will be hoping that both Villa and Tottenham drop further points so that it could narrow the gap from them. MU next match is against Brentford who collected 1 point only from their last 5 matches. MU hopes to continue their resurgence with another victory. With just 10 matches left it will be very difficult for MU to overtake both Villa and Tottenham in order to qualify for Champions League. It can qualify for the Europa League if it can overtake one of its 2 rivals and finish in 5th place. MU will have to continue its good recent form and hope that its rivals continue to drop points. MU's best chance of qualifying for the Europa is to win the FA cup. After eliminating Liverpool in the Q final, MU opponent in the S final is Coventry which is a Championship League team instead of the EPL. At the bottom end of the EPL. Nottingham Forest is 3rd from bottom because of the 4 points deduction that was slapped on them. It will not be an easy match for them against Crystal Palace. Forest will hope to get full points in order to get out of the bottom 3. Everton the team with a 6 points deduction has an even toughfer task to get full points against Bournemouth. Both Everton and Forest will not be having relegation pressure if not for their points deduction. Hopefully they can remain in the EPL come end of season. πŸ¦‹
