The Battle For Europe
A look at the Premier League run-in after Chelsea’s win over “champions elect” Manchester City and ahead of West Ham’s Sunday game at home against Everton:
ManCity unexpectedly lost 1:2 against their future opponents in the CL final (with Aguero missing a penalty and Chelsea scoring in injury time), which meant that they will have to wait at least until next week’s game against Newcastle to be crowned PL champions. However, if the Sky Blues lose at St James’s Park next Friday, they still could be leapfrogged by Manchester United in the last three rounds if the Red Devil’s win all their remaining games…
That’s quite unlikely, but well, who would have thought that Leicester would be defeated by Newcastle 2:4 on Friday night?
This unexpected result could mean that West Ham could still make the Champions League despite fourth placed Chelsea being on a very fine run and difficult to be caught. In a discussion on BT-Sports Glenn Hoddle as well as Rio Ferdinand said they think that Leicester (after suffering that shock loss against Newcastle and having very difficult games ahead) could finish outside of the Champions League places with West Ham capitalising. What a finish to this season that would be!
Come on you Irons!
