City will be 1st or 2nd again I think unless Chelsea get Mourinho. I imagine they'll spend a ton this summer.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

1. United, 2. Chelsea, 3/4. Man City & Spurs, 5. Arsenal, 6. Liverpool.

Everton will finish lower with the loss of Moyes, Baines and Fellaini.

[TCO]

Why is everyone taking CIty down a few places? They've been far from their best this year but are still comfortably 2nd and I can only assume they have the capability to spend big again this summer. See no reason to predict them lower than 2nd.

[brenchill]

I think they'll come back strong next season. They've been poor this season, but I think they'll learn from the experience and with a few new faces they'll be challenging for the title again.

I think with or without Mourinho, Chelsea will also be up there next season.

[Sam]

It's way too early to call we don't know who will be signed by whom yet.

[stokeriño]

Chelsea certainly won't be hurt losing Benitez's habit of throwing points away to most of the table's lower half.

[Dan]

If Wigan win their game in hand the bottom of the table will be insane:

12 Fulham 36 -11 40

13 Aston Villa 36 -21 40

14 Southampton 36 -11 39

15 Sunderland 36 -12 38

16 Norwich 36 -22 38

17 Newcastle 36 -23 38

18 Wigan 38 -21 38

(based off Wigan winning 1-0)

[Adam]

Wigan would go up two places as well, putting Newcastle in the bottom three.

[Gazz]

Horrible.

[Matt]

You beat Leeds and therefore, it doesn't count.

This is true. There's more merit in beating a league 2 side than beating us in a final. I think we've lost our last 8 finals or something daft

[Ant]

At least one of Sunderland or Southampton will be behind us now on last day of the season. I'd prefer it to be Sunderland as i can't see them picking up points vs Spurs especially if they are still in the running for Europe.

[Baddar]

I had no idea it was still that tight. With that said, I don't see Wigan beating Swansea tonight.

[Sam]

Wigan do better away than at home, I think they will get 4 points from next 2. They were unlucky to lose to city and to draw with Spurs so a loss to arsenal is by no means a formality.

[Ant]

Sunderland are in deep shit now. All of there top scorers are out of the run in and barring Johnson they don't look like scoring.

[brenchill]

We could do with a Sunderland/Southampton draw.

[Adam]

Hopefully it will be enough of a motivator for Wigan to get out of that bottom three and up to 16th by winning tonight. Swansea are there for the taking and they've a great chance of staying up if they win tonight.

[HailtotheYo]

Wigan beating Arsenal is a sure thing going by the last few years as evidence

[Noah]

Did Wigan just hit the lead?

[Ant]

Any hope of a Swansea win/draw has gone with that line-up.

We be boned.

[Adam]

I can't decide who the bigger idiot is. Joel for picking up that back pass or the moron who decided that the centre half should take the 8-yards-out free kick. Imbeciles all round!
