Top 4 (let's hope top 5) race

[Todd]

Going back and rereading the first few pages of this thread was a real trip.

Are we still in it??

Would rather see Forest, Chelsea and Villa finish there and City and Newcastle to miss out. But think City are finishing 3rd with their schedule.

Newcastle vs Chelsea game in May could be great.

If you mean bottom 5, then yes

There's an argument, a very flimsy and poor one, but n argument nevertheless that whoever wins the Europa technically finishes 5th.

There really isn’t. United would qualify for the CL, though.

In addition, if United win the EL and Villa (somehow) win the CL and remain outside the top 5, the PL would have SEVEN teams in next year’s competition. Which really is stretching the word ‘Champion’ (although three of those teams would actually be champions, I guess).

There's also still a scenario where if Arsenal win the Champions League, City/Forest/Villa win FA Cup, Chelsea win Conference League, United/Spurs win Europa and Newcastle finish in the top 5 then the Premier League would have 11 clubs in Europe next season.

Potentially 9th place in the table could get Europa and 10th would get Conference League.
