Track Tickets
The Premier League title race is heating up with just a few matches remaining in the season. Manchester City and Arsenal are currently leading the pack, but behind them, there is a fierce battle for the remaining top four spots.
Top four candidates
Newcastle United currently sit in third place with 65 points from 33 matches, just two points ahead of Manchester United who are in fourth place with 63 points from 33 matches. Liverpool are not far behind in fifth place with 59 points from 34 matches, while Brighton are in sixth place with 55 points from 32 matches.
Brighton and Hove Albion
Brighton's win over Manchester United yesterday was a significant result in the race for the top four. The Seagulls have been in good form lately, winning three of their last five matches, and their victory over Manchester United was well-deserved. The decisive moment of the match came in injury time when Mac Allister scored from the penalty spot after Luke Shaw handled the ball in the area. With this victory they are very much in the race for a top-four finish. Their recent form has been excellent, and if they can continue to pick up points in their remaining fixtures, they could secure a place in next season's Champions League.
Manchester United
Manchester United, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their performance against Brighton. They had the opportunity to leapfrog Newcastle United into third place with a win, but they failed to take their chances and were ultimately punished for their mistakes. However, they still have a good chance of finishing in the top four, and with matches against West Ham, Wolves, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Fulham still to come, they will be hoping to pick up some crucial points.
Liverpool
Liverpool's hopes of finishing in the top four are growing over the last few weeks. The Reds have been inconsistent this season, but they still have the quality to win their remaining matches and hope to secure a place in the top four. Their final fixtures against Brentford, Leicester, Aston Villa and Southampton they will need to be at their best if they are to achieve their objectives.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United have been the surprise package of the season, and their recent form has been excellent. They have won their last three matches, including a crucial 3-1 win over Southampton last weekend, and they will be hoping to continue their winning streak in their remaining fixtures. Their final fixtures against Arsenal, Leeds United, Brighton, Leicester and Chelsea will be tough, but they will be buoyed by their recent performances and will be confident of causing an upset.
