PL: Bottom teams win

Spurs, Hammers, and Forest all won in the relegation race. In the simulations teams probably need 39-42 points to be safe and stay up. Next Spurs travel to Villa Park, while West Ham go to Brentford for a London derby.

In the top, Arsenal won with one-nil. On average they finish 2.7 points ahead of City. They win the remaining four matches and finish on 85 points in 20% of the simulations and when they do that they win the league in 98%. City on the other hand, win all remaining matches in 4% of the simulations and when they do that, they win the league in 91%. In other words, in the simulations the two top leams have it very much in their own hands.

PL: Man City top of the table.

Man City with an early winner against Burnley meaning they go top of the table with same points and goal difference as Arsenal, but three more goals. Next in the title race is Arsenal hosting the Magpies, and as you can see in the table below there is a 30% swing between a win and a loss, so obviously a crucial match. In the simulations, Man City drop on average 5.9 points while Arsenal drop 3.9 points, but these simulations do not take into account that some of the opponents may be unmotivated or that title contenders might get nervous.

Bournemouth dropped the win in the last minute losing two points in the race for Europa. They still get 24% to get to EL.

PL: Goalless draw in London derby

West Ham traveled to Selhurst Park in south London and missed the chance to create a gap down to Spurs. It's gonna be a tight race. The team that finishes 4th from the bottom takes more than 40 points in less than 25% of simulations and similarly they take less than 37 points in less than 25% of simulations, so somewhere around 37-40 points will be needed to win the new contract.
