Liverpool could only afford the dropping of points if Manchester City did the same.
Manchester City and Liverpool entered the Premier League weekend with midweek first-leg victories from their respective UEFA Champions League semifinal matches and left with three points each to keep the title race a point apart.

A 4-0 win in Leeds means Manchester City will end the Premier League season with an 11-0 aggregate win against Leeds United.

Newcastle did not get their fifth league win in a row but had a chance to measure their progress against a Liverpool. Naby Keita’s goal in the 19th minute gave Liverpool the three points through a 1-0 away win against Newcastle.

TOTTENHAM, ARSENAL, AND MANCHESTER UNITED PICKED UP THE WIN TO STAY IN THE RACE.

Mathematically, there are 2 spots available but despite Chelsea’s recent failings, the odds of them losing a place in the ‘top 4’ is still quite low.

It is up to Arsenal to protect the top 4th place from the chasing pack.

There is a high probability that West Ham won’t finish in the ‘top four’ but as things stand, the Europa League route to get to the Champions League qualification.


Without Christian Pulisic’s injury-time winning goal against West Ham, Chelsea would’ve been without a win in their last four matches.
While Chelsea wanted a win, Everton needed a win.
Cesar Azpilicueta’s misjudgment allowed Richarlison to score the only goal of the game in the first minute of the second half to give Everton 1-0’ win to get the bounce they needed after their Merseyside defeat.


Kelechi Iheanacho scored a late consolation goal for Leicester City but a first-half goal from Harry Kane and two second-half goals from Heung-Min Son got Tottenham the three points from a 3-1 win.

Tottenham’s victory against Leicester City placed the pressure on Arsenal to beat West Ham in order to keep 4th place for at least another round.
Headed goals from Arsenal’s centerbacks got them the three points from a 2-1 win. Gabriel scored his header in the second half to restore the lead after Jarrod Bowen scored at the end of the first half to cancel out the lead Rob Holding had given Arsenal in the 38th minute.

Brentford was no match for a rested Manchester United at Old Trafford. Manchester United convincingly and comfortably took three points from a 3-0 win.
