I agree with you on this one, Newcastle games has been a glorious outcome in their few played matches, their come back on the top 3 is a very condeble job but I think they need to push hard even though they are ahead of Manchester United, other teams will be having this phobia anytime they have match with them, I never even expect them to quicly climb back at the standing of top 4.
The competition in the top three will be even more competitive as the competition between Man United and Newcastle continues. Man United managed to beat Everton and Newcastle also managed to secure full points, the most interesting match for both of them in week 29 with important wins to maintain their position in the standings. Newcastle almost lost that game because Brentford had much bigger chances, but they missed a penalty and an own goal made Newcastle get full points in this match.
I think Liverpool already miss the chances when they played against Chelsea, they should have win the match to stablized their points, now they have their next match against Arsenal, and the way Aresenal is in form, they may trash and humiliate Liverpool again in Anfield and I don't think they will be able to sustain their standing, Fulham may overtake them because they have higher winning rate in thier next match than Liverpool and Brentford.
Liverpool's record has been terrible this season in the league so I don't think they will be able to finish in the top four or five. Defeats against Bournemouth, Manchester City and a draw against Chelsea have made their chances of being in the top five very improbable, 10 points too many for them to catch Tottenham's position in the top five of the standings. The next match also made it difficult for Liverpool to get full points because they would face Arsenal who were in perfect form.
Nine matches unbeaten in all competitions and this is a good capital for Arsenal to visit Anfield. Arsenal will definitely give their full strength against Liverpool, but I think the chance of the game ending in a draw is very possible, because Liverpool are also ambitious to get points even if they have to end in a draw.
