For the moment, it appears the race for the top four is between Man United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur, although things can change in the blink of an eye.
Of course, even though they are adrift from the other Champions League hopefuls, Liverpool cannot be completely ruled out and if Brighton can win their games in hand, they will be in the conversation.
That being said, we wanted to take a look at the three current frontrunners after Newcastle leapfrogged the Red Devils into third yesterday, and Spurs have the chance to do the same this evening against Everton.

Spurs Web Opinion:
In many ways, the fixtures themselves hardly matter at this stage of the season. Playing teams down the bottom can often be harder than playing those at the top because they are fighting to avoid relegation. If anything, you want the mid-table teams towards the end of the campaign.
