PL: 6-point matches in CL race

Man City dropped two points and technically no longer has the title race in their own hands, but if they win all their matches, they win the title in 92% of simulations. Next weekend there are United play Villa at home and Chelsea play Newcastle, two important matches in the CL race. In the relegation race four teams are fighting over three new contracts, while Wolves and Burnley are unlikely to escape the hole they've found themselves in.
