Who will win the Premier League, will get tickets to the Champions League, will be able to escape from relegation and win the bombardirskuyu race - in the forecast Football. Ua.

Until the end of the season the teams of the English Premier League will hold another 3-5 matches and during this time they will have to solve a number of important issues.

Who will become the champion?.

Chelsea - 81 points. There were matches with Middlesbrough (at home), West Bromwich (away), Watford (at home) and Sunderland (at home) 2. Tottenham Hotspur - 77 points. West Ham (in), MJ (e), Leicester (in), Hull (in).

Chelsea was a solid distance segment leading with a margin of about 10 points from the back of the field, but at the end of the championship lost the advantage due to defeats from Crystal Palace and Manchester United. Tottenham, in turn, has now gained a cruising turn, forcing the neutral spectator to lament that the attractive team of Mauricio Pochettino is unlikely to win anything this season.

The calendar is much easier for Pensioners - only Middlesbrough can rest and fight with all his might to save the illusory chances of survival. But Tottenham will have to fight with Manchester United, which in any case will be dangerous (and if it also takes off from the League of Europe ...). Potentially hard will be the battle against Hull City in the last round - a lot depends on whether the Tigers' struggle for survival will end by that time.

Forecast: Chelsea Who of the 4 big clubs will fly past the Champions League?.

Liverpool - 69 points. Southampton (d), West Ham (in), Middlesbrough (e).

Manchester City - 66 points. Crystal Palace (in), Leicester (d), West Bromwich (e), Watford (at).

Manchester United - 65 points. Arsenal, Tottenham, Southampton, Crystal Palace,.

Arsenal - 60 points. MJ (e), Southampton (in), Stoke City (in), Sunderland (d), Everton (d),.

We should immediately note that Arsenal has 5 games left, Manchester teams - 4 and only 3 - at Liverpool. Nevertheless, the Reds are the hosts of the situation, they just have to win all their matches and the place in the first four is guaranteed. Moreover, Liverpool is simply obliged to score 9 points, and no injuries can be an excuse in this situation - Southampton and West Ham already do not need anything in this season, and Borough, most likely, to the 38th round will already take off.

A minimum of losses is expected in Manchester City - of all the rivals only Crystal Palace feels the ghostly breathing of the first division, but it is too weak - it is unlikely that Swansea will win 6 points behind the Eagles for 3 rounds. And one loss of points by the guys Guardiola is unlikely to become critical - competitors are unlikely to be able to complete the entire distance without defeats.

MJ all season, it seemed, is about to rise in the top 4, but this never happened. And it is unlikely to happen - there are too many problems for the Red Devils. There is an abundance of injuries, and a huge fatigue of players (which in each match threatens to result in new injuries), and some straight "curse of home draws" when the team can not beat even outsiders on their field.

Another powerful distraction factor is the European League - the mankunians have to make a half steps to the trophy after the away triumph 1: 0 in the semi-final with Celta. A victory in the league will give a ticket to the Champions League. Jose Mourinho has already assured that the European Cup trophy is more important for the team than the championship - and it is easier to win there than to take a place in the top 4, with all due respect to Celta and Ajax / Lyon. Judge for yourself: on May 4, United played with Celta the semifinal of the Europa League, on May 7 Arsenal (Mourinho promised a rotation), 11 - the hardest semi-final with Celta, 14 - Tottenham on the road. The last tour of the Premier League will take place on May 21, and the final of the LE - 24. If MJ go out there - what do you think, which match will be the priority?.

Arsenal left to play as many as five matches, including the most difficult fight against Manchester United (yes, the rotation will be rotation, but will Jose Mourinho miss the chance to wipe Arsen Wenger's nose? Moreover, the Frenchman did not have long to train Arsenal, given the age). May spoil the procession and Everton, in the composition of which Romel Lukaku will fight for the title of the best scorer of the championship.

Forecast: MJ and Arsenal Who will escape from relegation?.

17th. Hull City - 34 points. Sunderland (d), Crystal Palace (in), Tottenham (e).

18. Swansea City - 32 points. Everton (e), Sunderland (in), West Bromwich (e).

19. Middlesbrough - 28 points. Chelsea (in), Southampton (d), Liverpool (in).

Middlesbrough lagged behind the saving zone by 6 points, and among rivals in the remaining 3 matches of Chelsea and Liverpool. Do you believe that the Rechners will manage to score at least 7 points in order to have a theoretical chance of salvation? No? Here's another one that took off..

The whole struggle will be waged between Hall and Swansea, which in the last rounds went almost simultaneously. Calendar for teams is also about the same in complexity. Both teams will play with Sunderland, who must beat. Crystal Palace and Tottenham, perhaps, would be rivals a little more menacing than Everton and West Brom, but Spurs for the match with Hall will most likely not need anything. In addition, the Tigers will hold this duel in their arena, and the home teams of Mark Silva do not lose more than 3 years.

Forecast: Hull City Who will be the top scorer?.

Romelou Lukaku (Everton) - 24 goals. Can replenish the asset in matches with Swansea, Watford and Arsenal.

Harry Kane (Tottenham) - 21. West Ham, Manchester United, Leicester, Hull City.

Diego Costa (Chelsea) - 19. Middlesbrough, BWA, Watford, Sunderland.

Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal) - 19. Manchester United, Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland, Everton.

Sergio Aguero (Man City) - 18. Crystal Palace, Lester, BWA, Watford.

Each of these 5 attackers is able to reach the mark of 24 goals for the remaining 3-5 games, which Romel Lukaku now asked. It's another matter whether the Belgian will be able to increase the number of his balls - he does not score much for "big" opponents, but only Arsenal can be attributed to this, while Swansea and Watford are quite working options for Romela, so he can add 1-2 goals.

The main competitor is Harry Kane, who has 3 fewer goals. Much will depend on whether it will be possible to reduce the backlog in the nearest round - if so, then Kane will be able to get around Lukaku before the end of the championship. Important role will play and the championship race - if the Spurs fall out of the fight for 2-3 rounds to the finish, it is likely that they will start the whole team to play on Harry, so that at least Golden Booths added to the museum of the club with White Hart Lane.

On average, Kane scores 0.81 goals per game, while Lukaku - 0.73. If such a rhythm continues, after the 38th round Everton will have 26 goals, while Kane will have 24 goals.

We risk to assume that Tottenham still make an effort and make the best scorer is Kane.

Sergio Aguero traditionally raskochegarilsya to the end of the championship, but too much Argentine behind the first place, so it is unlikely to be able to boast a Golden Boot in this season. Who knows, maybe Sergio will rejoice at the fact that he is finishing third - after all, Diego Costa and Alexis Sanchez recently have not shone with results ... prognosis: Harry Kane Eugene Music, Football.
