I just computed some highly sophisticated statistical analysis to analyze the race for the race for the top 4 in the EPL. I did it for Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Southampton, and Tottenham (<-

). I also assumed Chelsea beats Leicester so that everyone has played 30 games. Rankings go from easiest to hardest.

Based on Remaining Opponents' Total Points:
Southampton 291
Tottenham 306
Liverpool 326
Man City 336
Arsenal 338
Man Utd 350

Based on Remaining Opponents' Average Ranking:
Southampton 12.5
Tottenham 11.5
Liverpool 10.6
Arsenal 10.3
Man City 10.0
Man Utd 9.4

Ease of remaining schedule is almost a 180 from the current standings. Have some great games coming in the next few months.

So what are your final predictions? As a Liverpool fan I can pretty much say that if we don't beat Arsenal on Sat, it's over for us.

As a citeh fan, I don't agree with your "statistical analysis" as it scares me into thinking citeh will finish outside the top 4 :( . Jk,

I don't really like doing predictions because I feel like a jinx. But if Arsenal can snag 5/6 pts from the next 3 games (vs Liverpool, @ Burnley, vs Chelsea) than I will be feelings comfortable.

My ballpark prediction is current top 4 finishes top 4, with Arsenal overtaking City.

I think you're probably right.
