I thought it might be of interest to show the 4 match run ins for the remaining Champions League spots given that Liverpool have already secured the title and Man City are hardly likely not to pick up the one win they need to effectively secure second place.
We should find out soon if 5th spot will be sufficient to get to the Champions League competition next season, obviously dependent on Man City's appeal.
I'm only going to consider us, Chelsea and Man United as Wolves in 6th place are 7 points adrift of us and quite frankly if we don't finish above them we should be more worried about relegation form continuing to next season rather than European glory.
Current standings (all at 34 matches):
Chelsea 18W 6D 10L GD17 60 points
Leicester City 17W 8D 9L GD32 59 points
Manchester United 16W 10D 8L GD26 58 points
Last 4 matches:
Chelsea:
Sheffield United (A)
Norwich City (H)
Liverpool (A)
Wolves (H)
Leicester City:
Bournemouth (A)
Sheffield United (H)
Spurs (A)
Manchester United (H)
Manchester United:
Southampton (H)
Crystal Palace (A)
West Ham (H)
Leicester City (A)
United and Chelsea also have an additional match to fit in, the FA Cup semi-final, so we have a slight advantage of having a full week's rest before the final game whereas they will both continue with two matches a week to the end.
Looking at those fixtures and taking into account our generally poor form over the last months I expect United to finish 3rd and Chelsea 4th. It could be all down to the final match though.

What are you on about? We dominated for like 88 out the 90 minutes in both games against Spurs.

I am still thinking about our five illegal goals against you? RDL was properly illegal as he should never of wore the shirt.
What colour is you sky? You drew 1-1 in your last game with the Spurs.

A game Spurs fans were even embarrassed by the performance. Attack against defence for 88 minutes and we should have won by a few goals but poor finishing cost us and Lloris also being amazing.

I think Kane average position in that game was next to Lloris.

I remember Kane.... He used to sit on the bench while on loan with us. Whom did he watch score? Yes the guy who beat your Van in goals scored in games in a row. Who did he score against to set the record? Lol
