$3.30 to finish top 4. You can bet the house Liverpool will bottle it, so it will be either yourself or the Mancs ($17) landing that 4th possie.

Really disappointed with the way Saints are finishing off the season. Playing drab football, averaging 2 shots on target per games over the past 6 games. Not good enough after what we have achieved in the past 3 years.

We haven't played well since the League Cup Final.

Liverpool have WHU and Middlesbrough and should win both games.
Man C have Leicester, WBA and Watford
Arsenal have Stoke Sunderland and Everton. If Leicester can do us a favour and beat Man C then we have a chance for a Champions League spot.
Man U are still a chance and play Spurs, Soton and Palace.

Tight finish for the top 4

West Ham have owned Liverpool for a while, so I don't expect any points coming our way this weekend, maybe 1 at best. That's enough for you to get through if you win all your games, and you appear to be over your slump now.

Then we have Borough who we should beat, but then we probably should have beaten Burnley, Hull, Swansea, Sunderland, Wolves and Palace but didn't, so no certainty in that game either.

Whilst our record against you guys in the short Bilic vs Klopp era is good.

We are ravaged by injury. And a few that have been playing injured recently have been sent for surgery now that we are mathematically safe.

So I'd expect a pretty weak lineup on the weekend. But we will set up with 5 at the back and try and snag a point, maybe scrap a goal like against Spurs.

Unfortunately we've shown that we are a very average side without Manè, so have no confidence whatsoever

No Mane should be handy for us. With everyone sitting behind the ball, hopefully we are hard to break down without his pace.

We can't break anyone down who plays that way - Swansea, Sunderland, Hull, Palace, Bournemouth, Wolverhampton and even bloody Plymouth lol

Chavs win the league with a late goal at West Brom.
Clearly the best side all season and will only get better

What an amazing and emotional closing ceremony for White Hart Lane and great to see a rainbow appear over the golden cockeral as if on cue.
Great way to send the old girl off with an undefeated season there winning the last 17 games in a row. COYS!

A big last day in the premier league for a top 4 spot. Also a few chances for a Champions League Playoff Game
Arsenal draw 1-1, Liverpool lose 0-2 - Arsenal v Liverpool playoff
Man City draw 3-3,Liverpool win 3-0 - Man City v Liverpool playoff
Man City lose 4-0, Arsenal win 1-0 - Man City v Arsenal playoff

Leicester 1 Spurs 6.
Kane with 4 to lead the Golden Boot. So much for a one season wonder.

Definitely not a one year wonder but still has a bit of flat track bully about him. Scored 4 this morning yet only 3 in total against fellow top 6 sides ( Chelsea 0, City 0, Liverpool 0, Arsenal 2, United 1) and by his own admission had a poor CL.
Will only get better though and provided he stays in the EPL he will worry defenders for a few more years yet

Well done Liverpool for making the Top 4 and well done Harry Kane for doing it again, 29 goals in 29 games after missing 9 with injury is pretty handy! Who's name is Harry Kane?
Nice for Spurs to finish off a lot better than last year. 13 goals in the last few days!
