    It is decided in a one off play off match.

    Leeds look doomed to me, a goal down early on and Chelsea looking quite comfortable.

    That’s right. Do you know where the 39th game is held? Is it at a neutral venue?

    Leeds down to 10 James sent off and he won't play again this season.

    That was assault. Should be a 5 match ban.

    De Bruyne with a 25 min first half hat-trick and the third was a fabulous goal

    Are they sure they needed to spend £50m+ on a striker?

    Jim: Must be soul crushing to be a Liverpool fan hoping for teams to trip up City week in week out and they just roll them all over.

    Speak for your (non-Spurs) selves.

    The thing with Leeds dropping into the drop zone is there doesn't seem to be a period where their form went to ****

    They were chuntering along fine in January, with wins over Burnley and West Scam
    February was a write-off, as they aggregated a 20-5 loss in matches with Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd and Everton, plus a 3-3 draw with Villa
    March saw them pick up wins over Wolves and Norwich
    April saw them beat Watford and pick up draws with Southampton and Palace

    While not marvelous, certainly a step above the zeppelin disaster that was Everton's form between December-April

    Called it. They are in serious trouble, half of it self-inflicted with these stupid red cards they keep picking up, half of it unfortunate through injuries to key players (Harrison and Raphina now both injured).

    I said at the time that my head wanted Everton down, my heart wanted Burnley down, but Leeds' run-in was always by far the nastiest.

    I'd have fancied them to get something in their final two games but not with the new injuries and suspensions they now have.

    I can see them picking up 2 points from their remaining 6, which isn't enough to overhaul Everton. Burnley will get at least 2 themselves, which means they will survive on GD.

    You'll beat Burnley and so will Villa. I never like to predict last day football but it seems unlikely Burnley beat Newcastle on the last day either. For Newcastle's manager and players every match counts so they can't afford to be on the beach.

    They were more than on the beach against City, even factoring the latter's obvious quality.

    They'd better bloody not be on the beach against Arsenal.

    I have a feeling Leeds will draw their last two games and Burnley will lose to us and draw their last two as well, so they'll both end up on 36pts.

    Eddie Howe doesn't have the tactical nous to beat City - it's just not his style of football. If you try and take them on in a game of football you'll lose, hence Howe having lost every encounter he's had against them.

    If Tottenham win the NLD it puts monumental pressure on Arsenal going into the last 2 games. The turnaround vs Newcastle is very quick as well.

    Scary prospect next season with him joining them. I think Sterling will be the one who could possibly leave this summer though.

    Arsenal type of signing especially if they get top 4

    We've been linked with Sterling this week

    Big wages for Deki's understudy...
