Administrator Stan 18,402 Posted April 26 Author Administrator Share Posted April 26 Wolves & Brighton's drop in form has pretty much ended their hopes of European football next season. Wolves without a win in their last 6, Brighton their last 5. Villa capitalised on gaining more points while Tottenham didn't play, but the North London club have a chance to catch up with an extra London derby in midweek vs Chelsea. Chelsea can do their own catching up in that game should any of the clubs directly above them drop points at the weekend. The top 3 change up again and Liverpool lose ground following their Merseyside Derby loss, whilst Man City and Arsenal picked up resounding wins in midweek. It could all change again this weekend, as there's a North London derby to pick through and a few sides facing opponents who have their own survival battles to contend with...

Danny 2,210 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I didn't realise how many players Brighton have out injured at the moment, it's about 6 or 7 of their starting eleven, certainly goes some way to explaining their bad run of form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reluctant Striker 134 Posted Friday at 11:33 Share Posted Friday at 11:33 I have to say, I'm not sure Villa are 'ready' to be in the Champions League, but as they've never been in the modern day version, which is about to update again next year, we may as well be there if we can. Even if just to get a few autographs, selfies & visit a few Euro giants. I did feel Spurs were capable of losing to Newcastle, Arsenal & Chelsea, with Anfield still ahead, but it's still been quite surprising to not see them even get a draw or 2. And to an extent that Villa got better Arsenal & Chelsea results. Spurs loss at Anfield would leave them with 9 points to aim for. Villa win at Brighton takes them 10 ahead. The 3 team race between Man United, Newcastle & Chelsea looking a much closer race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,402 Posted Friday at 11:40 Author Administrator Share Posted Friday at 11:40 Arsenal strengthened their grip on 1st place with two massive derby wins, one of those being against arch rivals Spurs, and in doing so actually damaged their opponents chances of a top 4 finish. Although Villa couldn't capitalise on that fully, the gap does extend to 7 points, and they look likely to finish in the top 4 to secure a CL spot. Liverpool are all but out of the title race after dropping points against West Ham. Man Utd surprisingly dropped points against Burnley, which allowed Newcastle to close the gap on 6th place to just 1 point. Chelsea continue their march towards a European place after doing the double over Spurs and now they have another London derby to contend with... The top 3 all have home games once again, but it seems like the Spurs vs Man City game is becoming ever more important to determine where the title may go...

OrangeKhrush 298 Posted yesterday at 09:32 Share Posted yesterday at 09:32 Arsenal need to win out and hope city drop points, which is not looking great and between man united or Spurs, relying on either team is not a good way to hedge bets, man united are more capable of stunting arsenal than Spurs are of City, this is not the Conte first season Spurs that were resilient, this spurs team is more open than a porn star.
