PL: Title race is on.

 City won the league final at Etihad and the title race is now very tight. Advantage City with form and momentum, but advantage Arsenal with slightly easier schedule with only five matches left. Tough match already on Saturday though when the Magpies visit the Emirates. The two title runners are favorites in all their remaining matches, but we note that they win the remaining 11 matches only in 1 of 300 simulations, so there will most likely be more slips. The question is from whom.

The CL race is almost done with Arsenal, City, United, Villa, and Pool playing CL next season in 87% of the simulations. In 17% of the simulations they are joined by Forest.

In the relegation race, Tottenham almost got a win against Brighton. Next weekend, they travel to Wolves for a crucial chance for some much needed points. If they win they have 60% chance to avoid relegation, 38% with a draw, and 28% with a loss. At the same time, West Ham host Everton in an almost equally important battle.
