Premier League table

After Man City dropped points against West Ham, this is what Liverpool need to charge back and win the Premier League title.

If Liverpool drop points the rest of the way, the Premier League title is likely out of reach. With Liverpool four points back, the Reds cannot lose either remaining game. Should the Reds win, all eyes will be on City's game against Aston Villa, where a win can clinch the title with victory no matter Liverpool's finish. With Manchester City dropping points against West Ham on Sunday, it has suddenly opened the door for Liverpool in the Premier League title race. City sit three points clear, but the Reds now have a game in hand after City lost at West Ham. It's still an uphill battle for Liverpool in the title race.

If Jurgen Klopp's mentality monsters are to finish the season with a 20th league title, first they will (almost certainly) need to beat Southampton on Tuesday evening to get themselves a point behind City.

When Riyad Mahrez stepped up to take an 86th-minute spot kick for Manchester City, he knew that converting it would virtually secure another league championship ...

Liverpool title race—when he skied a penalty late in the game in a 0–0 draw at Anfield. City manager Pep Guardiola hardly flinched when Fabianski dived to his left and clawed away Mahrez’s penalty. It was saved, though, by West Ham goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański and City had to settle for a 2–2 draw at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday—albeit from 2-0 down at halftime—to leave Liverpool still with hope.

Manchester City on Sunday afternoon dropped two points after failing to beat West Ham United in a Premier League tie. Man City drew 2-2 against West Ham.

Man City will face Aston Villa in their last Premier League match of the season on May 22 at Etihad Stadium. The result means Man City still maintains the number position on the Premier League table with 90 points from 37 games. Man City drew 2-2 against West Ham at the London Stadium.

Manchester City came back from two-down to earn a point at West Ham, but Riyad Mahrez missed a chance to win the game from the penalty spot late on.

There was no need for Coufal to launch a diving header at a free kick heading easily into Fabianski's arms and left the keeper with no chance. From a youngster at Hereford, to a strong Championship player at Hull, there were few who saw him making the leap to be one of the most dangerous forwards in the Premier League but that is exactly what he is now. It was a difficult free kick to defend as Mahrez swung the set piece behind the defence which curled away from Fabianski, but there would have been little danger to the Hammers goal if Coufal had not decided to launch himself diagonally backwards where any touch was unlikely to yield a positive result. He is the perfect compliment to the horde of English attacking players who prefer the ball to feet rather than running onto through-balls and should be rewarded with appearances in Gareth Southgate's side over the next few months. City are now four points clear of Liverpool who have two games remaining and are seven goals worse off in terms of goal difference. On both occasions Oleksandr Zinchenko was culpable for not tracking Bowen's diagonal runs behind the defence from the right flank.

The title race will go down to the final day after City slipped up at West Ham, while none of relegation-threatened Burnley, Everton or Leeds secured wins.

More of the same, as one of the weirdest Premier League seasons in recent memory draws to a close. He cannot rely upon the continued (and extreme) overperformance of Jose Sa and he must find a way to break down teams that sit deep. An afternoon to sum up what a wasted season this has been for Watford, if you ignore the broadcasting revenues and subsequent parachute payments that will presumably be used to fund a promotion bid next season. If we can broadly agree that an offence was committed, can anyone really say that the offence merits a huge opportunity for a team to score? But Norwich have at least avoided a repeat of 2019-20, when they lost their last 10 games of the season to fall limply into the Championship. As soon as Kevin Friend was instructed to go to the VAR screen (and he’s blameless for not giving it in real time) there was only one likely outcome. First came the perceived lack of investment, particularly adding depth to a small, tired squad, then the sacking of Bielsa. If they were going to go down, they might as well have kept their hero. Supporters had had enough; they chanted first Marcelo Bielsa’s name and then that members of the board should be sacked for the way in which they have managed this season. Apply too much power and the ball may well be flicked to the far edge of the six-yard box, where again a teammate may be waiting. He created one excellent chance for Maxwel Cornet with a through ball and set up the same player for a half-chance after the break. That means Everton have to commit one player towards the edge of the penalty area to look after him but doesn’t telegraph whether it will be a short corner or not. The ball is played at a height where Wissa could use his head or lay the ball back with his foot to the edge of the box, a routine we have seen a few times recently in the Premier League.

Burnley fill the final relegation spot but have a game in hand on Leeds above them; Everton also have two games left and one win will do for them.

Two draws will all but secure their safety too barring no miraculous mathematic goal swing with Leeds, who have a -18 worse goal difference than Frank Lampard's side. This means four points from their final two games - away at Aston Villa on Thursday and at home to Newcastle on Sunday - will be enough. Leeds remain favourites for relegation but their situation would have been far worse had Pascal Struijk not struck a late equaliser to lift them out of the bottom three against Brighton in a 1-1 draw.

Manchester City's draw against West Ham United has given hopes for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool to chase the table topper in the race for the Premier League.

If Aston Villa can repeat such a result, or even draw against Pep Guardiola's side, Liverpool will have a numerical chance of winning the league. Jurgen Klopp has already won the FA Cup and the League Cup with Liverpool this season and is eyeing a historic quadruple with the Premier League and the Champions League title up for grabs this month. Manchester City's draw against West Ham United has given hopes for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool to chase the table topper in the race for the Premier League and can end up to a play-off with City for the title decider as well.

Mon, May 16 Mon, May 16 Mon, May 16 Arsenal's defensive capitulation to an invigorated Tottenham was the start of a movie that Gunners fans have seen before. If Arsenal slip up against a surging Newcastle side, it could be the death of the Gunners' Champions League hopes. While the Magpies have little to play for, having staved off relegation successfully, Arsenal will need to take advantage of a side without motivation.

Paul Pogba is likely to move abroad when his Man Utd contract expires this summer, with Europes biggest clubs preparing to pounce; Sky Sports looks at his ...

Play him wide on the left and he becomes an assist machine, but his preferred role, in his own words, is on the left of a midfield three. He created more chances and made more passes when playing in a double pivot in a 4-2-3-1 formation, but play him in a more attacking role like Solskjaer did at the beginning of his reign and Pogba scores more goals. In 2017/18, United finished a distant second behind Pep Guardiola's record-breaking Manchester City in the Premier League and lost to Conte's Chelsea in the FA Cup final. After being brought off just after an hour in away defeats at Tottenham and Newcastle, Pogba started on the bench for both legs of the Champions League last-16 defeat by Sevilla. "Once I had a great relationship with Mourinho, everybody saw that, and the next day you don't know what happened," Pogba told Sky Sports in April last year. It was during this campaign that he was often utilised in a wider position on the left flank - a role he would continue in at the start of 2021/22. After two trophies in his first season under the Portuguese, what was supposed to be a solid foundation to rebuild the club's success soon crumbled away. With both Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick preferring a 4-2-3-1 formation in recent years, though, it has not been possible for Pogba to operate in his favoured role. In September 2016, Pogba made no secret of where he wanted to play in an interview with Sky Sports' Thierry Henry ahead of the Manchester derby. But it came to mark the high point of his second spell at Old Trafford. It was supposed to be the start of something special. He cannot solely be blamed for United's lack of success, but his imminent departure signals an underwhelming end to a transfer that promised so much.

There's still so much to play for in terms of prize money in the Premier League this season.

Avoiding relegation is also key. And with sides still having games in hand to play before the final day, the league table could yet be all change. Everton, Burnley and Leeds all continue to scrap to avoid the drop, as fine margins amount to significant effects for clubs going forward – often financially. Actually, that jostle in the mid-table could be the difference of around £10m-14m for the biggest winners and losers; a huge sum for sides looking to build their status. The Athletic estimates that the 2021/22 Premier League winners will pocket £44m in merit payments, while the team who places 20th will earn just £2.2m. It’s all action moving down the table, too.

Watford and Norwich are down, while Everton and Leeds sit just outside the bottom three and Burnley have slipped into it. However, there are plenty of twists and turns coming in the final week of the season. With Manchester City the favorites to win the Premier League title, Liverpool is doing its level best to catch them on the final weekend of the season.
