In fact, the 3rd - 7th ranks are still subject to change. and this makes the competition even tighter, in order to enter the qualification in the UCL next season. I'm sure, every club below will be very enthusiastic to enter the race.

There is another factor that will influence the positions of these teams: the "EPL vs. City" case. The decision has been postponed once again and will probably take place in the summer. But even the weakest punishment (compared to the number of violations committed by City) will mean a deduction of points. This means that City are possibly the clear underdogs in this race. Even a 6-8 point penalty (Everton and Nottingham were penalised this way last season) would put them behind all their rivals.
TBH the point deduction you are talking about might just end up being a media fantasy. Until something has been done i won't buy all the plenty talk.
