Newcastle's main goal is to get into the top 5 (this guarantees direct entry into the Champions League, as England is number one in the UEFA rankings and will receive an additional ticket) and now they look like favorites in this fight. The game in hand with Crystal Palace, I think it's at least one point, which already allows them to keep Chelsea, Aston Villa and City at a distance. The most positive thing for Newcastle is that, unlike many other teams, they are playing better towards the end of the season rather than experiencing a decline.

Having a game at hand is not a guarantee to make top 4 or 5th position at all because the race between them is very intense as it stands and if you think Crystal Palace is just an easy walkover team then I would say you are wrong. This is the English Premier League where no team can be written off just easily, Newcastle are also not at their best at the moment so the will have to fight hard to win Crystal Palace. We still have about 7 games to play and this matches will be the ones to determine who to make it to the champions league, both Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle have strong games to play and they also have games against themselves so we still a lot of games to determine who would make it.

I know Manchester City with battling even in the final minutes to achieve what they want, so let’s wait to see what happen by end of the season. Chelsea are suppose to finish in the top four of the table this season, they’ve not long participated in the Champions League for a long time now and now that their conditions have improved, they need to be there by next season. Their inconsistency has even made it hard for one to trust their games and see them as a team possible of finishing in the top four, but now we may only watch and see how things unfolds for them because they don’t look trustworthy to achieve that in that regards with the way they’re playing now.

Give them small time was what many people started and how the season is almost ending and they want another time? I don't think there is any time left to do what the ought to have done since the beginning of the season. 7 games and this season will wrap up with a long break of time where will be having mixed touch of international maybes and transfer news, there is absolutely nothing Manchester City can do at this time that to accept the faith that has come upon them.

Every ambitious team needs time to full develop and the is the same with Chelsea, they are young and ambitious and only a few coaches can take them this far as Enzo Maresca has done. They have improved compared to last season and I even believe they would do better than this next season they only need to add an experienced striker and a few other positions to compete them.

And as for Manchester City the only hope for them is to fight for a champions league spot because nothing can be done now as you said this is the end of the season for them surely now they just have to make good use of the next transfer window so they can compete better next season.
