Have you watched that Netflix show about the Class of 92 buy Salford City?

I have the movie on DVD. It's an excellent watch.

Paul Scholes is still the greatest midfielder I've ever seen play live.

Manchester United v Swansea
Brighton v Leicester
Newcastle v Huddersfield

With six games to play, Mohamed Salah could shatter the EPL scoring record of 31 goals.

He currently stands at 29 goals scored for his debut season at Liverpool.

---

Palace 1-2 Liverpool
West Brom 1-2 Burnley
Man United 2-0 Swansea
Brighton 0-2 Leicester
Newcastle 1-0 Huddersfield
Watford 2-2 Bournemouth
West Ham 3-0 Southampton
Everton 1-3 Man City
Arsenal 3-0 Stoke
Chelsea 1-3 Tottenham

So Southampton now drop into the bottom three, but have a game in hand over Palace above them.. I don't think they're strong enough to stay up, though.

Manchester City could wrap the title up with one more win.. Their next match is Vs Manchester United at home. I actually think United will hold them off for another week, with pride at stake, they won't want their noisy neighbours to win the title against them.

Regarding the bottom three.. West Brom, Stoke & Southampton... I think that's how it stays, unfortunately.

I see Fulham extended their unbeaten run to 17 games yesterday. They're firmly in 3rd place with 7 games left.

I don't see them breaking into the top 2 because Cardiff are 7 points clear of them with a game in hand, the run-in should be exciting, though!

While I agree 7 points is hard to make up, Cardiff has a much tougher schedule down the stretch and the tiebreaker would go to Fulham (if they can make up the 7 points).  In any event, YES, a very difficult task to make up 7 points when Cardiff has a game in hand as well.

On a side note, the race for the #6 spot is going to be crazy.

Sunderland gets relegated once again --- what a fall in a 2-year period.

The gap is now only 2 points.. with Cardiff losing 1-0 to Wolves (despite having 2 injury time penalties and missing them both).

Cardiff have 6 remaining games, Fulham have 5.. it's going to be interesting..

Recent results:

Everton 0-0 Liverpool
Stoke 1-2 Tottenham
Watford 1-2 Burnley
Brighton 1-1 Huddersfield
West Brom 1-1 Swansea
Bournemouth 2-2 Palace
Leicester 1-2 Newcastle
Man City 2-3 Man United
Arsenal 3-2 Southampton
Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

Some huge results in there this week. Specifically City/United derby. Although this is highly unlikely to effect the outcome of the league title, City would have been crowned Champions had they beat their Manchester rivals this weekend. It would appear as though José had other plans. Even more impressively from a United standpoint, they were 2-0 down at Half Time.

Chelsea drawing to West Ham leaves them 5th and 10 points off the top 4, Arsenal in 6th are 13 points from the top 4. Save from some huge capitulation from any of the top 4, what you see it what you get, for me. City will finish top, United, Liverpool and Tottenham will follow (In that order).

At the bottom, West Brom picked up a point, but are still at the bottom 10 points from safety. West Ham, Swansea, Huddersfield and Palace all picked up points (albeit 1). Southampton & Stoke both lost leaving them both in the relegation zone 3 & 4 points from safety respectively. Southampton, however, have a game in hand over Palace in 17th, but their run in is as follows: Chelsea (H), Leicester (A), Bournemouth (H), Everton (A), Swansea (H), Man City (A).

Week 34 fixtures:

Saturday 14th April:

Southampton v Chelsea

Swansea v Everton
Palace v Brighton
Huddersfield v Watford
Liverpool v Bournemouth
Tottenham v Man City

Sunday 15th April:

Newcastle v Arsenal

Monday 16th April:

Fulham beat Reading to extend their unbeaten streak to 20 and since Cardiff lost to Aston Villa that moves Fulham into #2, though Cardiff still have a game in hand.

Barcelona Chokes !!!  Unbelievable

I'm always kind of glad when the extremely high paying teams lose.

South Hampton v Chelsea

Let's go blues. We are in a terrible run of form but let's see how this goes

As soon as Southampton scored their second, I said to my wife "they'll still lose"...

Unbelievable.  Finally, something went right (for us) this past weekend when Chelsea miraculously came back against Southampton and then Crystal Palace held on to a 3-2 halftime lead to claim a victory.  CP has a favorable schedule in the final month (no top 6 opponents).  Just like Southampton, they'd blown leads time and time again this season.

I genuinely think the 3 in the bottom positions are the 3 that will remain there come the end of the season.

This past weeks' results:

Southampton 2-3 Chelsea
Burnley 2-1 Leiciester
Swansea 1-1 Everton
Palace 3-2 Brighton
Huddersfield 1-0 Watford
Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth
Tottenham 1-3 Man City
Newcastle 2-1 Arsenal
Man United 0-1 West Brom
West Ham 1-1 Stoke

With Manchester United losing to West Brom, Manchester City clinched the Premier League title with 5 remaining games. Interestingly, Burnley are only 2 points off Arsenal in 6th and are yet to play them again this season. If Burnley finish in 6th (Arsenal 7th), this will mean that Arsenal's 2018/19 season will start in July (Europa League), and if there's a team in the PL who NEED a summer off, it's Arsenal. Especially given that a lot of their team will be playing in the World Cup in June/July.

Southampton needs to win 3 matches (LC or Everton, beat Bournemouth, beat Swansea) and hope one of the following teams  ..... Huddersfield, West Ham, or Brighton loses the rest of their matches -- which is possible !!  Probable-no  Possible-yes.

I excluded Crystal Palace due to their remaining schedule which is somewhat favorable

I think the magic number is 36 or 37 for Southampton as they have a huge point differential over Huddersfield.
