Thought I would update a recent post regarding the run in:
Leicester have points in the bag, but three tough games to finish the season. They will not get 9 points from those games. Will they be champions before then?
Arsenal and Man City have the easiest fixtures. Both teams can be flat track bullies and will pick up points. Their game with each other will have a huge impact on their respective final positions.
Man Utd's next three scheduled league games are tough and will be must win due to the likes of Spurs hopefully having picked up points. They will have two rescheduled games which will also be must win.
West Ham have the toughest run in of the teams currently in the top six.
Not an exact science, but good for comparative purposes.
