The table below shows the probabilities for each team to finish top 4. For each team the left column shows probability the team finishes with that many points and the second column the chance (%) the team finish top 4 if it gets that many points. Chelsea, for example, have 100% no matter what and have already qualified for CL. Tottenham have 100% if they get at least 78 points, in other words, four more points. If they lose remaining matches they have a 81% chance to qualify to CL. City and United secure top 4 if they win remaining matches, while that's not true for Liverpool.

In our simulations, Chelsea take on average 13 (of 18) points and Tottenham take 10 (of 18) points, giving Chelsea a 7 point margin.

More than 33% that Chelsea take at least 90 points and then they are Champions regardless of what Tottenham do. If they take 86 points (9%), which corresponds to 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, they have more than 90% to win the league. If Tottenham take less than 84 points, in other words, lose two matches, they have less than 10% chance.
