After three rounds of match action in the Premier League since the restart, the contenders for Champions League qualification are jostling for position. Here, we look at the teams vying for the top four, their restart fortunes and their remaining fixtures…
When Premier League football restarted in the middle of last month, there were 10 points separating Leicester City in third and Wolverhampton Wanderers in sixth. However, that gap has been whittled down to just three points over the past few weeks, leaving the top-four picture intriguingly poised with six games remaining.
After back-to-back victories over Aston Villa and Manchester City, Frank Lampard’s Chelsea suffered defeat on match week 32, allowing Wolves and Manchester United to close the gap to two points. The Blues have, however, moved to within one point of the Foxes following their shaky return to action.
At the top, Liverpool have been confirmed as Premier League champions for the first time, with Manchester City now trailing the Reds by 20 points following their victory over Jurgen Klopp’s side at the Etihad on Thursday evening.
