There might only be the minor placing to sort out for the Europa sixth guaranteeing a spot .

If West Ham finish sixth a Europa league qualifier will be the first competitive game at the new ground.

That might mean a repeat of last nights "ceremony"

Norwich always seem to be one of the most forgettable teams in the PL

I'd say if you did a survey around the country asking people to name the 20 PL teams, they'd be the least team people would recall

not one bit sorry to see them gone tbh, they're very "meh" like Hull and Burnley in recent years

Sorry to see Newcastle going down, a proud PL club over the years. Have a soft spot for Sunderland though!

Awful that even if you win tonight its out of your hands when it comes to going down. Looks like norwich and newcastle is EFL bound

The Chelsea Spurs game was laughable, claiming Spurs were "right back in it"(re title race) after going ahead in the first half

It was a forlorn hope at best, hardly "right back in it"

Newcastle offering Benitez five million to stay and get them promoted

Sunderland deserve the lead, everton are so poor. Martinez will be gone tomorrow for sure. Feel sorry for norwich as they at times have played so e good football but just not getting the right results.

Perhaps some Sunderland fans on here can answer but is fourth bottom the same target each season.

As I said above for about five seasons now, they toil all season then start to finds some form in April and manage to stay up.

Two meh teams like hull and Burnley coming up is not great one in Burnley is bad enough.

Burnley don't even seem to set a target of staying up

If i was Everton, i would get Frank de Boer. He has done a great job at Ajax apart from not winning the title on the final day even though they were playing a team near the bottom

I stiil cant believe that Ajax did not win the title

City might be bringing in Guardiola, however their squad is a mess, as I said previously, they only have about three or four players who have done anything of note this season, so quite why you think appointing a new manager, and hey presto things will be manically better once again I don't know

Leicester have at least the foundations of a good squad (provided that they can keep them together), that is far more than you can say about any of the other challenges to their title, bar perhaps Spurs.

A lot of the thinking perhaps behind the bookies making them favourites (which as we have seen with 5000/1 Leicester means jack all), is because they must be thinking that they will be splashing the cash and drastically improving this current squad, as it is no where near good enough to mount a title challenge next season as it is currently made up.

Don't say we might get Aguuuueeeerrro again.

Well that is it really all over now

3-0. All over. Newcastle and Norwich are down.

3-0 Sunderland, and nothing for Sky to plug on Sunday

Kone scores again, and no it is not Arouna

I take it all back - Everton are pants.

cant see martinez surviving after his

They should sack Martinez now, dreadful stuff

Quite how many "new additions" to the squad are you talking about, 2, 3, 4 or more than that??

As if it is something like five or more new quality additions, then yes I would be agreeing with you (well depending on who they were of course), but the current City squad with say only two new additions, nope, that wouldn't be good enough in my eyes.

They need new defenders as they cannot rely on Kompany being fit for any lengthy period of time, if or when he is fit, they should now consider that a bonus.
Their wide players like Sterling and Navas are absurdly below par, and they need to replace Yaya.
So that would be the bare minimum that they need to do, if they manage to do that, with suitable replacements, and others do not also improve their squads, then yes I would make them favourites.

I agree guardiola doesn't know the premier league if they finish fifth they could struggle to get big names signing for them. Although that applies to united as well.

Spurs have the best squad are only short of maybe another quality striker .

City could just as easily do a Chelsea next season

Bye bye Martinez.

Jesus Christ, Everton are awful. A team of wasted talent.

I bet Roberto Martinez will say after the game, that they were unlucky to lose the game

I foot know - "Champions League Spot Sunday" has a certain ring to it...

Currently as things stand, I would definitely put Spurs way ahead of City in the standings of who might win the league next season, even with reinforcements coming in at City.
