PL: City champions 17/18

As United lost against West Bromwich, they can no longer catch City, and City have secured the league title.

Chelsea can still reach top-4 but will need 15 points in last five games together with a collapse from Liverpool or Tottenham. Liverpool only need 6 more points in last four games to theoretically clinch top-4, while 5p will likely suffice. Tottenham need 9 more points in last five matches, while 8p will likely suffice.
