With the top two teams on the table – Liverpool and Manchester City – set to be in action tomorrow, relegation-wary Newcastle took a big step towards retaining their status in the Premiership following a lone goal victory over Leicester on Friday that saw them increase their points haul to 38, 10 points better than Cardiff, who holds the first relegation spot.

Champions-elect, Manchester City, moved a win closer to winning this year’s Premier League title as they bounced back from their Champions League exit with a comfortable 3-1 win over Tottenham. They need just three points to be crowned champions, but they can win the title outright if second-placed Manchester United lose to West Brom on Sunday or to Bournemouth on Wednesday.

Following a match day 34 that was spread through four days, EPL leaders – Chelsea and title chasers – Tottenham Spurs both won their respective assignments to keep the points differential between them at four.

Game in hand Manchester city took a giant step towards retaining the Premier League title after edging Tottenham Spurs by a lone goal on Saturday in a tension packed game, a result that left closest contenders Liverpool with no choice but to win on Sunday against relegation threatened Cardiff City.

With Chelsea dethroned, Manchester City winning the title with four games to spare, the second and the third spot ostensibly secure in the grips of Manchester United and Liverpool in that order, what remains in doubt is the fight for the fourth spot between Chelsea and Tottenham Spurs, and the two other teams that will accompany the seemingly relegation bound West Brom, whose latest attempt at survival got a feint spark from a 0-1 win over Newcastle to the Championship.

With just two games to the end of the season, relegation threatened Cardiff City edged closer to the exit on Saturday following a lone goal loss at already relegated Fulham that left their survival hopes hanging by the thinnest of threads.

Cardiff city’s last stance for survival in the Premiership burned out at home Saturday afternoon following a 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace that saw hitherto relegation-wary Brighton, who will be in action at Arsenal on Sunday heave a huge sigh of relief as they survived with just two games to go.

Relegation fears heightened for English Premier League side, Swansea City, following a lone goal loss to Bournemouth on Saturday that saw them trade places with Southampton for the first relegation spot on goal difference as the latter picked up a crucial point at Everton to match Swansea’s 33points tally.

The 2016/17 English Premier League season came to a befitting end this afternoon with Chelsea being crowned Champions after handing cellar dwellers – Sunderland - a crushing 5-1 thumping at the Stamford Bridge to send them on their merry way to the Championship Division. The Champions became the first English side to register 30 top-flight victories in a 38-game season.

Brighton’s attempts to end the season on a high note after surviving relegation fell short as Manchester City roared back from a goal down in spectacular style to hand them a 4-1 thrashing at the Amex, a result that ended Liverpool’s magnificent challenge for the title.

2017/18 English Premier League Champions, Manchester City, rounded off an incredible season with a record 100 points following a lone goal win at Southampton, who secured their survival despite the loss.
