Chelsea, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest will face mid-table and bottom-table teams which means that in the next match the three teams will not face such tough opponents so I believe that all three will be able to win in the next match. But for the opportunity to enter the top four, it is more towards Newcastle because the team has one postponed match that has not been played against their opponent Crystal Palace. The only thing I regret in the current position is Manchester City because if City cannot win in the next match, their position will be much worse.
You see the strength of a team only from the current standings and not from the past history or the big name of a team? which I think is unfair, the lucky ones in the next match are Chelsea and Man City. Nottingham and Newcastle face tough opponents you can't say it's an easy 3 points for them because Everton and Man Utd are not easy teams to beat. That means next week Chelsea can still maintain their current position if they win against Ipswich Town and besides those who are competing for the top 4 positions must be careful because Aston Villa can get closer next week.
You can't always see a teams level from the standings and rankings, you have to check the momentum as well. For example a team that is 10th, playing against a team that is 5th, but the 10th team was 15th and won 7 in a row to become 10th, whereas the 5th was 1st or 2nd and lost 5 in a row to become 5th, in that case who are you betting on? The fifth? I may have some discourage to bet like that because I would put momentum into calculation as well.

Everton and United needs to have better momentum going into it, otherwise it makes no sense. I would say City is the one that will have hardest time, because they aren't looking good, but rest of the teams look like they are going to face some simpler teams for next week.
