    Man City and Leicester still have to play again so both can't win all their remaining games.

    Although Leicester are 2nd I don't consider them capable of winning all their remaining games. Their position is based on near-perfect consistency against the lower teams, and they get extremely few points from the top teams.

    Man City have dropped more points but in more random fixtures. Their problem is more individual errors than systematic so IMO they have the far better chance of suddenly going on a perfect run.

    Liverpool: 55 points from 19 games, maximum of 112 points
    Leicester: 42 points from 20 games, maximum of 96 points
    Man City: 41 points from 20 games, maximum of 95 points

    Mathematically secure requires 97 points i.e. 42 more

    42 points is 14 wins, or 13 wins and 3 draws

    14 straight wins would be Aston Villa (H)

    Man City (A) is just before Villa, so we could win it there if City only drop 2 points


    What if things just continue as they are? Based on a constant points per game Liverpool become champions in game week (GW)

    LFC_ppg * GW > City_ppg * GW + 3 * (38 - GW)
    or
    GW > 114 / (LFC_ppg - City_ppg + 3)

    This is either game week 30 (Everton A) or 31 (Palace H) based on Man City or Leicester's PPG


    #summary As it stands we would most probably confirm the Premier League at Goodison

    You're the anti-matter astro - if you met you'd cancel each other out in a burst of polarised opinion and create a quantum state where we both win and lose simultaneously.

    Schrödinger's football result? If we all collectively ignore the results from now until May then we can all celebrate winning the PL but must commiserate finishing a lowly 9th too.

    But surely if we are made aware of the results after May we know the outcome, so for that to work we need to ignore results for all time :)
