The 2018 Premier League is about to finish after a great season. The Manchester City is the champions after a great season with only two losses. They dominated the League after a astonishing performance and under great control by Pep Guardiola. Only two teams have secured a spot at the Champions League for next season, Manchester City and Manchester United. Liverpool are now in 3rd place with 72 points and Tottenham right behind with 71 points. The current Champions, Chelsea won an important game against Liverpool today at Stamford Bridge. That game was their only hope to make the Champions League next season. They have now 69 points. Tottenham and Chelsea have one game advantage on Liverpool. Chelsea’s next game is against Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge and the last against Newcastle. Chelsea needs for sure to win both these games to have a chance to secure their spot but they are most likely to do so. Huddersfield has had a sloppy season and is fighting to stay up in the Premier League. Newcastle has been fine through out the season and stand now in t 10th place and that game could be a big fight for Chelsea. Tottenham has two home games left against Newcastle and Leicester. They also need to win their both games to make the Champions League.
After a disappointing loss against Chelsea, Liverpool only has one game left. They will play Brighton on Anfield to close out their season. There is a lot in stake for these three teams and it will be exciting to follow up next weeks to see who will secure these spots.
Liverpool has had a great season in the Champions League and they will play Real Madrid for the title May 26th in Kiev, Ukraine. If Liverpool wins the Champions League they will automatically secure a spot for next season. They will probably focus more on that game than the game against Brighton. That gives a Chelsea and Tottenham a greater chance to end in top four.
The fifth place will play in the Europa, that is a league lower Champions League and none of those teams would like to end up playing in after a great season.
My guess is that Chelsea will win both their games and finish third, Tottenham will win their game against Newcastle and lose against Leicester and finish fifth, Liverpool will tie Brighton and finish fourth, one point over Tottenham.
