Both Man City and Chelsea for me are on the same level and Man City had a really good chance that they didnt take against Brighton. They should have won that but this season they are just not on that level as they were. On the other hand it was expected that Chelsea wouldnt do something big,with Palmer out of form its hard for Chelsea to get points
Yeah I agree, throughout this season we couldn't expect more from these two teams because we don't see any consistency there and in the near future Newcastle might just displace them from their current position. Newcastle are only 1-2 points behind and they have one more game to play if Newcastle win their 29th match they will be in the top 4 who do you think deserves a ticket to the Champions League among these 3 teams? I personally would have preferred to see Manchester City but their performance was really unconvincing.
The three teams have to fight for who will qualify to the Champions League next season. Any of them that would be consistent till the end of the league will finish 4th on the table. I can't really tell how City performance will be like next season, if they will continue with their inconsistencies, they shouldn't go to UCL. However, they look more promising than the rest two.
