After the most intense title battle for many a year, it comes down to the final weekend. Just one point separates reigning champions Manchester City and second-placed Liverpool heading into what is sure to be a thrilling final set of fixtures if the footballing week is anything to go by. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds secured a jaw-dropping 4-0 win against Barcelona on Tuesday night to reach the Champions League final and Anfield is sure to be abuzz again when Wolves arrive on Sunday. The Reds need to win and hope that Brighton can end a tough season on a high against Pep Guardiola’s men. Few expect City to come a cropper on the south coast but stranger things have happened… in the last couple of days alone.
Surely there will not be a top four shock?
Chelsea to seal third?
Cardiff to give Solskjaer a bloody nose?

Manchester United’s season ends as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign began. Fresh from being parachuted into Jose Mourinho’s spot in December, the Norwegian opened his caretaker stint with an eye-catching 5-1 triumph at former club Cardiff. That result kicked off a remarkable run that led to Solskjaer landing the permanent job, although things have gone awry since then. Last weekend’s tepid 1-1 draw at long relegated Huddersfield saw them miss out on the top four with a match to spare, meaning a galling season watching Champions League from afar lies ahead. United need to end the season with a bang at Old Trafford but Cardiff will be determined to end their Premier League stay by giving their former boss a bloody nose. It would be quite the way for Neil Warnock to sign off should he decide to leave this summer.
