Spurs remaining schedule:
@ Palace
v Arsenal
@ West Ham
v Man U
@ Leicester
@ Hull

Chelsea remaining schedule:
v South Ham
@ Everton
v Boro
@ West Brom
v Watford
v Sunderland

Spurs have the more difficult closing schedule, but they do have Arsenal and Man U at White Hart Lane so that bodes well. The biggest hiccup games could be going on the road to Palace and Leicester.

Chelsea have a difficult game at Everton that they could potentially lose, but the rest they should win on paper.
Spurs have to win out and hope for the best.

FiveThirtyEight has Chelsea's chances now at 85% chance. It was at 95% a month ago. Hopefully the race stays close to the end. Hoping Liverpool gets 3rd.

Liverpool:
vs Palace
@ Watford
vs Southampton
@ West Ham
vs Boro

Man City:
vs Man U
@ Boro
vs Palace
vs Leicester
vs West Brom
@ Watford

Plus Arsenal this Sunday in the FA Cup

Man U:
@ Burnley
@ Man City
vs Swansea
@ Arsenal
@ Spurs
@ Southampton
vs Palace

Plus Europa League

All 3 have a good shot at playing in the Champions League next year with ManU being the favorite in the Europa League as of now.

Man U schedule is brutal. Road games against Arsenal, City, and Spurs in the final 7 games

Chelsea needs to not blow it with the easier schedule. Tottenham becoming a contender? This is bad for everybody.

Yup and it gives Arsenal a couple weeks to right the ship. Although like I said, they could get in via winning the Europa League anyway.

as long as they can keep their coach and most of their players, Tottenham will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come in the EPL. They're already title contenders and all their players are young.

Liverpool will only have themselves to blame for not getting 3rd this season. They should win every one of those remaining games...but it's the bottom feeders that have given them the most difficulty this season for whatever reason.

They've done well the last two games winning at places they traditionally struggle (West Brom and Stoke). Other benefit is that almost all the teams have nothing to play for.

Spurs are the best team I've seen all season but I still think Chelsea have enough experience to hold on.

 

[bksballer89]

Who is watching FA Cup?

Chelsea/Tottenham tied at 1 in the first 20 minutes.

 

[Airraidtech]

First Goal of the season and what a goal. Take a bow son!

 

[handicappers]

Chelsea is by far the best team in the EPL and Hazard will likely win the POY award. I'd give it to Kante, but Hazard will get the praise.

when was their last title?

when was their last title?

Couple seasons ago.

Spurs toughed one out v Palace 1-0 to keep pace at 4 points behind Chelsea.

Updated. Chelsea remain 4 points ahead with 5 to go.

I feel the games on Sunday will determine if Spurs can win the league or not.

Chelsea is on the road to face Everton while Spurs are home to Arsenal. If Chelsea win that game, I think the race is over. If they lose or even draw then we really have a tight race in the final 4 games

It's definitely Spurs last remaining big chance to make up a lot of ground. After that, they will have to hope for a Chelsea trip up.

Tottenham to play at Wembley next season and demolish White Hart Lane

 

[bksballer89]

Huge missed opportunity by United and City today to go ahead of Liverpool.
