Football finish line

Well here we are, coming to the last stretch of fixtures in the season around Europe and the premier league so here's my run down of what we could see in the run in to that final day!

In the premier league of course, many people now expect Manchester United to take the title - and rightly so, although they've not been their best every game this season, they have shown us yet again that consistency wins the premiership. They have not had sporadic dips in form like those below them so it'll be more than a miracle to see City catch up.

For the champions league spots everything is still to play for, City should take 2nd, but after that 3rd and 4th spots are up for grabs between Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, and even Everton. I would say Chelsea would be favourites with just a couple of points behind Arsenal who sit in 3rd but they have a couple of games in hand over their London rivals. However, as we know, the league is unpredictable so can change at anytime and I believe these places will not be settled until the last day.

As for relegation Reading and QPR look as though they're going to have to pray to stay in the league as both are stuck at the bottom with 24 points, the last place with 5 games to go is however still very much open, from Wigan up to 13th placed Newcastle there is still a danger and all the teams involved will be clawing at the points like no tomorrow to escape the drop!

So as we have arrived at the tail end of the season we have seen some great games, contentious decisions and absolute world class goals. But it's not quite over yet so hold on to your hats cos it's gonna be one bumpy ride!
