Tottenham going on 5 years in a row for Europa....

They’ll be gunning for the Champions League next year and I think with new signings and finally buying into the high-pressing attacking philosophy of Pochettino, they’ll get there.

Liverpool may not want to be in the Europa League. They would have to pay multiple away matches in strange eastern-european/ Russian countries and it is a serious drain.

Why does Hull City qualify for Europa League? Aren’t Aston Villa the runner up if Arsenal wins the FA Cup?

Anyway, aside from the glaring Hull / Villa error, the games to watch are still valid.

In the relegation battle, Hull and Newcastle are both at home to good teams. Newcastle has to go all-out for a win - if Hull loses or draws, they survive anyway, so there’s nothing to risk.

For the 5th-7th places, all three are on the road, which really makes the permutations pretty interesting, because it brings losses and draws more into play.

Despite being technically alive via Fair Play, I can’t imagine any incentive to watch the Burnley match, unless you’re a die-hard fan of the teams involved.

Norwich City beats Middlesborough 2-0 in the playoff to win promotion to the Premier League next year, joining Bournemouth and Watford.
