That can still happen. Liverpool win and Villa losing away at Citeh, will see them swap places.

Possible,albeit would take a wild result at Anfield for it to happen.

A shame Liverpool lost to Villa, as that ended the possibility of Villa finishing fifth and, potentially, opening up 6th spot to the Champions League.
And at the City Ground. If Liverpool were beaten 1-0 by Brentford then Boremuff would still need to win 5-0 at Forest.

As above, Liverpool losing to Villa didn’t end the possibility of Villa finishing fifth. If City beat Villa and Liverpool beat Brentford on Sunday then Liverpool will beat Villa to fourth on goal difference.

But if there is an extra place to be had in the CL next year I’d rather it went to a club like Hearts or to a nation whose Champions don’t normally even get a place in the competition.

Agreed. Award it to April 25th Sports Club of Pyongyang, current champions of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Premier Football League!

that'll shake things up a bit!

Exactly, Australia get into Eurovision so there’s precedence to be had. :wink:

TBF this season has been reasonably exciting. City pushed Arsenal and were in pole position.....and the relegation jepordy is enormous.....
Last season Liverpool weren't even challenged and the three that came up, went back down and were garbage.

Both Tottenham and West Ham are playing their last games at home on Sunday. Going to be very interesting around parts of London with thousands of fans from one club being ecstatic, and the others being angry/upset.

Spurs players walking out to their relegation decider with their kids. Sadly Roy Keane is not on pundit duty to criticise them and tell them they're supposed to be going to war.

None of the Spurs players particularly celebrating. Rightfully so.

I still have quite a lot of dislike for West Ham. I lived in Essex for a few years around the Pardew affair and found them to be pretty arrogant and deluded, plus they have always acted without class (Pardew, Tevez, Olympic Stadium). Glad to see them relegated; let's hope they stay in the Championship for a long time this time around.

West Ham going down is a nice fall back enjoyment position to Spurs not going down i guess.

Looking forward to West Ham being absolutely unbearable next season

Man City giving Bernado Silva a mid game guard of honour should be the 116th charge

The Athletic reporting they could need to raise as much as £150m from player sales, which would suggest not. Though in today's market, that's only 4 players, possibly 3 at a push. Fernandez, Bowen and Castellanos probably get them most of the way there.

Spurs 8th in the league since De Zerbi came in,

1st in xGA.

During that run, lost Simons, Romero, Solanke and Kudus to injury. Some turn around from him
