Premier League Top 4 race is hotting up, and bodes well for next season

It is a strange custom in football, perhaps born of news demand "pull forward" anything to announce good happens as a prelude to a future step.

A win is a win always; It is a platform. The truth is that, so often, the success can only be a success, perhaps on the curtain on an era, rather than announce the future. Therefore, you should always be cautious when attempting to extrapolate the present into the future. But how this extraordinary season of Premier League has reached its conclusion, it's hard not to think about the next season with a sense of expectation depth.

The star is believed they will not align exactly the same way for Leicester City-although there is no reason why a core with increased sewing Champions League will bring the investments could not worry about the six best times. But to finish the fight in the first four programs of the competitiveness of the fight.

Tottenham could not be determined mathematically from the Champions League qualification, but they actually leaving five teams for two points fight. Interestingly, among them, one of the worst, self doubt, is Arsenal, the finish is not since 1996 in the top four.

A victory over West Bromwich Albion at home on Thursday, would increase Arsenal against Manchester City in the third, four points ahead of Manchester United in the fifth. Leaving a positive result at Sunderland on Sunday would certainly come up with home games against Norwich City and Aston Villa, despite their other away game is Manchester City.

However, this is not the fact Arsenal just four of their last 12 league games, they went so fast the FA Cup in Watford and adventure have won Champions ready again to change when he met a class of top you have even more frustrating given decline suggests Barcelona are not so great as they appeared.

The nature of the recent draw with West Ham United and Crystal Palace was lovely to Arsenal fans known pattern of missing lines and defensive laxity let opponents off the hook.

The latest model was to provide enough optimism for Arsene Wenger flood in the summer of recovery end of the season at the Emirates Stadium. It's too late, however, and feels the longest finals it has entered into a new phase.

The return of Kevin De Bruyne Manchester City appear on Swing February and March fired to have 10 points in four games since losing on March 20 in the Manchester derby, which seek to take away the fourth installment rather makes league champions. His list of assembly is relatively Type: Stoke City at home, Southampton and Swansea City and the game against Arsenal.

The danger is that if the Champions League is a distraction while no Newcastle United 1-1 on Tuesday showed that the domain be relatively easily disturbed.

The team that plays the best mitigation is probably Liverpool to seven points with a game in town. Southampton defeat in March before the break, after 2-0 could be at halftime prove costly, although the opportunity to get a place in the Champions League by winning the UEFA Europa League.

Since injuries are remounted that all serious problems exposed accept European competition certainly the end of Jordan Henderson, Emre Can and priority Divock Origi. That is, the list of devices Liverpool is relatively mild, with only five teams meet Newcastle the Reds have nothing to fight.

But if Liverpool qualify for the Champions League or not, and including April Performance Saturday Night 4-0 thrashing of Everton and offers a preview of what fans can expect from side to Jürgen Klopp future, and it looks very bright.

Realistically, the pinch most likely a first four of the city by dots or Arsenal Manchester United side. By Lewis Jones, Sky Sports, said coach Louis van Gaal after the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday that the United probably need to win their remaining four games to reach the top four, as is likely, the city is only two points is not quite correct -The gap.

The management sees games against Leicester City and West Ham United, Norwich City and fight side and Bournemouth descent. And there is the FA Cup and to try.

There is also the paradox that some United fans probably do not want to end their team in the top four as this Van Gaal for another season remains can mean. This is certainly not the tortured emotions that may arise, should the city against Real Madrid and finally meet Bayern in the Champions League final with Pep Guardiola's time to win in Munich, must be validated and must Versicherungs lose Champions League itself the next Season.

West Ham, unbeaten in nine, but have five of these games drawn, against West Brom, Swansea, Stoke and States. With three points to make up, the chances are they have all four of these games to win to have a chance to take the fourth place. It is reflected in a number of key arbitration decisions that recently went against them and wonder how things might have been, though two of his drawings victories was.

At the same time there are many statistical models suggest that West Ham have overcome this season, divided by Eastbridge. It is possible that next season will bring a return, but it is also possible that the investment and the wave of optimism of the movement, the Olympic Stadium, West Ham bring still will be stronger next season.

But even if the West Ham going down, the upper end of the next season is back with a bright young Tottenham (the master may be), a city of Manchester under the direction of Guardiola, a resurgent Liverpool and Chelsea Klopp under Antonio Conte looks with and States under new management can, Arsenal is Arsenal and Leicester.

The race of the season for the fourth suggests the title race next season could be even more competitive. For once the action this season can be a guide for the future.
