Liverpool and Spurs are such odd teams. Realistically, they should've both sealed top four by now. The media love them, their managers, style of play and get all the praise. Yet, if they fluff it, which they continually prove they're more than capable of, it's all for nothing. Yet a team like United will be berated for comfortably finishing second and Chelsea will get little praise for nicking it if they manage to do so. The media won't be too harsh on Liverpool or Spurs if they finish 5th either, other than maybe a few reader-grabbing stories about Salah or Kane leaving. They are like the reverse of United though. I feel like we keep taking our foot off the gas as soon as we have any chance of doing so. Becoming complacent because the teams below us just aren't going to get more points than us. While Liverpool and Spurs are just offering Chelsea every chance of besting them in the end when they really, really shouldn't be allowed to this season.
Remaining Fixtures
May 9th
Chelsea vs. Huddersfield
Tottenham vs. Newcastle
May 13th
Liverpool vs. Brighton
Tottenham vs. Leicester
Newcastle vs. Chelsea
Newcastle will want points to stay in the top half, so they won't exactly be a pushover. However, I think Chelsea will win their remaining games now and show a bit of character. Liverpool will have to go full strength to make sure they can beat Brighton who have been decent lately. I'm sure that's not something Klopp wanted to do before the Champions League final. I think Spurs will at least fall over the line, probably with a draw and a win.
Obviously, hoping Liverpool mess it up and lose in the final as well!
