PL: Arsenal up in top-4 in expected points

Tottenham, City and Arsenalkeep going strong. Arsenal are now top 4 in expected points and have passed Man United with 0.7 points.

Hot Teams
Tottenham: 13 points in the last 5 matches, 4.2 more than expected
Man City: 15 points in the last 5 matches, 3.5 more than expected
Arsenal: 12 points in the last 5 matches, 3.5 more than expected

Cold Teams
Norwich: 1 point in the last 5 matches, 3.9 less than expected
West Ham: 5 points in the last 5 matches, 3.0 less than expected
Crystal Palace: 4 points in the last 5 matches, 2.1 less than expected

There is a 1 in 400 chance that two English teams outside top-4 win both CL and EL meaning 4th team in PL misses out on CL. There is a 9 in 100 chance that FA cup winners are not already qualified for CL and thereby will play EL. There is a 10 in 100 chance that the league cup winners are not already qualified for CL or EL and thereby will play ECL.
