The race is on for the top spot and the final Champions League spot.
Chelsea killed Stoke City 7-0. No surprise there.
Liverpool shut out Burnley 4-0. What did you expect? An upset? No way Jose.
Aston Villa got by Birmingham 1-0.
We have a logjam in the race for the final Champions League spot.
Tottenham and Aston Villa are tied on points at 64 each but Spurs has a better goal difference a plus 26 compared to a plus 16. Manchester City is sixth place with 63 points. Liverpool is in seventh place with 62 points.
Two points separate fourth through sixth place.
Both City and Spurs have a game in hand.
Manchester City and Tottenham will battle each other in the make up match on May 5th.
All Tottenham has to do win out and the final Champions League spot will be theirs.
City needs to run the table and the spot is theirs.
Liverpool needs help.
The Reds need to win both of their final two matches and hope that City, Spurs, and Villa stub their toes big time.
Villa needs to run the table and hope that Tottenham lose one of their last three matches.
Chelsea moves into the pole position with 80 points. Man U is a point back at 79.
The difference may come down to this. Rooney will surely miss the final two matches due to his pulled groin.
Can the Red Devils sweep their final two matches at Sunderland and at Old Trafford agianst Stoke City?
Chelsea takes on Liverpool and ends the season against Wigan at home.
Will the Reds upset the apple cart and beat the Blues at Anfield?
Man U is sure hoping so.
If not Chelsea will win the title and stop the Red Devils from achieving a historic four-peat.
I don’t see Wigan winning at Stamford Bridge on May 9th.
Gentlemen put on boxing gloves for it is show time.
The envelope please.
And the winner is…we will know on May 9th.
