Premier League Final Round: Holding Our Breath for the Top 4 Race

The race for the top 4 of the Premier League is "tense as a bowstring" and will be the focus of attention on the final day of the 2016/2017 season.

This is one of the most intense Premier League seasons to compete for the top 4. Many neutral fans even expect a thrilling finale like the title race between Man City and MU 5 years ago.

Currently, Man City is holding the biggest advantage when they only need to draw against Watford, a team that has lost all 5 recent rounds, to be sure of being in the top 4. However, Pep Guardiola's team needs to win to ensure 3rd place and a direct ticket to the Champions League group stage.

Liverpool are under heavy pressure, just one point ahead of Arsenal, and have been playing inconsistently lately. However, The Kop still have the right to decide for themselves. If they beat relegated Middlesbrough, the Anfield team will have a ticket to the Champions League.

Arsenal, despite their strong performance, no longer have the right to decide. Arsene Wenger and his team must defeat Everton at the Emirates Stadium and wait for Liverpool and Man City to stumble. Otherwise, the Gunners will finish outside the top 4 for the first time under the reign of the "Professor".

The craziest scenario on the final day of the Premier League is that Man City lost to Watford, while Arsenal won big against Everton and knocked The Citizens out of the top 4, thanks to the extra goals. Currently, Arsenal is 3 points behind Man City and 5 goals behind their opponents in goal difference (+31 and +36).

Stamford Bridge will witness the most lopsided confrontation on the final day of the Premier League, when new champions Chelsea welcome bottom team Sunderland. This seems to be a "delicious" feast for The Blues, before lifting the championship trophy.

If they defeat the Black Cats, Antonio Conte and his team will set a record, with 30 wins in one season and show their "unrivaled" strength in the Premier League 2016/2017. The last time a team achieved a similar result was Liverpool in the 1978/1979 season, when the Premier League had not yet been born.

Tonight's match will also be the farewell of captain John Terry to the Stamford Bridge team after 22 years of association. It is almost certain that the English midfielder will be named in the starting lineup, for the first time in the Premier League since September last year.

On the other hand, the visitors are unlikely to cause any surprises, having lost four of their last five matches. In addition, coach David Moyes is also at risk of losing his job if he loses at Stamford Bridge, instead of carrying out his plan to bring Sunderland back to the Premier League as he announced to the press.

The matches on the final day of the Premier League will take place at 9pm tonight (May 21), Vietnam time./.
