BATTLE FOR EUROPE:

For Manchester City, we have to assume the scenario that their ban may be lifted for next season if their appeal goes through. So there's still a possibility that they may still be involved in the UEFA Champions League Football even though they may still be banned now. With that said, that'll leave us the Top 5 for UCL and 6 and 7 for Europa League.

At the moment, the battle here on out will be an interesting one. Because unexpectedly, Wolves are in the running for another European Competition for the 2nd year running. Nuno Esprito Santo, a cute and chubby manager has been doing good surprisingly for them. And any points dropped by Leicester, Man City and Chelsea will be huge cause' instead of Europa League which they did last year, they might even stand a chance to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. That said competition for places will be extremely tight as clubs in the 43+ points thereabouts still have a fighting chance.

UCL PLACES PREDICTION;

Liverpool: As Premier League winners, their place in the UCL is guaranteed. It's gonna be a long ride though as we will need to defend our title at the same time. But for now till the end of the season we can afford to play around with new formations and rotate heavily to give game time to our young players like Elliot, Curtis Jones, Neco Williams and Ki-Jana Hoever.

Man City:
We have to not rule out their ban overturned. If so, there is a small chance they can still at least compete in the UCL. With their current position on the table for the remaining games, qualification should also be no problems provided they can play. Their remaining games should be easy work for them too,  with the only exceptions of Liverpool. They can't get complacent against Brighton either, seeing their morale heavily boosted with the Arsenal win too. However they are still in the current UCL, so chances are they may want to reserve their best team for the remaining UCL rounds and rotate heavily for the PL games.

Leicester
The Foxes have been on a bit of a slump lately, not picking up as many points as they should  That said, their UCL Qualification chance may come under threat with Chelsea and Wolves both at their heels. Until their last few games, they need to notch up wins and fast.

Chelsea
Coming out from a massive 2-1 win over Man City, they'll have the adrenaline to go all out. Their next few games are easy enough, but the last few games is gonna be a doozy.

Manchester United:
Their road to the last 7 PL games will be an easy challenge. And provided they are careful they can also go on and win the FA Cup.


EUROPA LEAGUE PLACES PREDICTION:

Wolves:
To be on the safe side, I'll put them occupying the first of the 2 Europa spots although they have every chance to still gun for the Champions League position. They've been doing so well. But with Arsenal and Chelsea still to come for them, they have to be wary as this may present as a bit of a wall.

Sheffield United

Like it or not, Sheffield can be a very VERY stubborn team to break down. Drawing against Arsenal Chelsea, Man U and Tottenham, while they only narrowly lost to Man City and Liverpool in their encounters. Therefore it is an easy guess to say that the Blades have every chance to at least grab a Euro place.

BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL:

It's gonna be dicey from 16-20. Because this will seriously test their mentality in combating against relegation.

Predictions for relegation:

Norwich
I don't see Norwich able to escape the drop at the end of the season, with tricky ties to Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea. This may be a long slog for them. It'll take a good few wins and a whole lot of luck, so I don't see it happening
