I think Chelsea is the one that will claim the fourth place this round in case of Manchester City defeat or draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
Newcastle United in the 5th place right now will not stand against Liverpool and Bournemouth will face Brighton and Albion Hove which recently knocked many goals to Chelsea and Southampton. Chelsea in the other hand could have an easy victory with a lot of goals against Southampton.
I wonder know from where people and bookies have the confidence to support Manchester City while playing away with such bad performance?
In the long run I think Manchester City have a better chance at finishing top four ahead of Chelsea. Nottingham Forest are currently enjoying a fine run of form and not looking like they will slip up at any moment but if eventually something crazy happens then maybe Chelsea have a chance to catch up and replace Nottingham Forest in top four but until that happens, it’s still Liverpool, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City in top four.
