With The Rise Of Newcastle, Who Will Be The Owner Of The Final Ticket For The Top 4?

At present, perhaps not only the fans but all the players across Europe's top clubs are looking forward to the 2022 World Cup. In the context that the biggest football festival on the planet is just a week away, Man City could not close the gap with the top team Arsenal in the final round of the Premier League. They even let the Gunners widen the gap to 5 points right before their break.

On the other hand, the rising Newcastle took advantage of the opportunity when facing Chelsea to get 3 points, consolidating their third place. Four seasons have been taken placed so far, meaning there is only one chance left for the names in the top 6 this year.

After a series of Premier matches on Saturday 16, Hotspur created a 6-point gap with the fifth-placed Manchester. However, considering the remaining three positions in the top fout, fans may have somewhat imagined who are the three out of four faces that will certainly enter the next Premier League season.

Who Will Be The Owner Of The Final Ticket For The Top 4?

Arsenal has made the best record in club history. After the first 14 matches of the same league, captain Martin Odegaard's had a double kick that helped the Gunners widen the gap with Man City to 5 points. They can now temporarily take a break and update on the World Cup news.

Meanwhile, Emirates Stadium fans are probably dreaming of an opportunity to compete for the championship, instead of just holding a place in the top 4.

Man City, on the other hand, has unfortunately flunked out of the top names in the ranking. Yet, it's unsure whether Pep Guardiola's team will be able to get a place in the top 4 by the end of this season. The fact that Newcastle is gradually cementing their position and their third place in the standings entails that the remaining position in the top 4 will be decided after the competition of Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United.

Manchester United 

Closely following the fourth placed team is The Red Devils with a total of 23 points obtained from their 13 rounds. The players of coach Erik ten Hag are slowly overcoming difficulties encountered at the beginning of the season, attempting their best to regain the position of the widely recognized football club in England. The Dutch strategist is clearly aware that earning a place in the top four at the end of the new season would help mark Manchester United's return to the England race.

Nevertheless, Erik's current squad still seems to lack stability, making it difficult for them to be able to really turn them into a heavy opponent to the big names in England. The inability to obtain maximum scores in games against lower-ranked opponents is somewhat a crucial factor that makes The Red Devils lose advantage when it comes to direct competition with the big names in the Big Six. As a result, The Old Trafford home team really needs to work on maintaining their form in a long race with other opponents, especially against those lower-rated ones. That way, Man Utd can optimize their advantages.

In their defense, fifth place can now be an acceptable achievement in a season where we once again witness the positivity in the way of the Dutch head coach regarding selecting personnel as well as building the playing style. But if they really want to return to the European Cup group next season, Man Utd really needs a breakthrough in the second half of the season.

Liverpool

The Red Devils is not the only team to struggle this Premier season, but there is also Liverpool - the runner-up of the tournament. In stark contrast to their high performance in the champions league, The Kop home team is having trouble with maintaining the core players’ form. Coach Jürgen Klopp's team has received up to four defeats this league season, twice as much as the number they got after 38 rounds in the last one. The noticeable differences are the performance as well as injury-related problems of the main players in the defense line.

The Citizens has scored 28 goals in 14 Europa League matches this season with an average of two goals per game. This can be considered an extremely encouraging number for the team that was standing in 9th place in just two rounds ago. They have now climbed to the “elite” group - the ones who are given tickets to the European Cup next season. Were people to give one name that should be in the top four this season, Liverpool would be a good choice. The bravery of the reigning Premier League runner-up has been shown throughout the past seasons. In the two-horse race towards the championship, Liverpool remained the most formidable counterpart to Man City. Bravery and stability will be The Kopp's strongest point in long-term races. Despite the problems they are facing, coach Jürgen Klopp's team still get their own place in this race.
