EPL: After finishing second last season, Arsenal manager Mikael Arteta is focused on his team's push to claim top spot this time around.
Much has been made of the thrilling title race at the top of the tree in the Premier League and rightly so.
At the top of the table is a four-horse race for automatic promotion, which is awarded to the teams that finish first and second. Descend all the way down the ladder and the fight to avoid the drop into League One is staggering, withpoints separating 17th-placed Stoke City from Birmingham City who sit in 22nd and, at time of writing, will be relegated.‘On trial’: Man Utd boss has one month to save his job as worst-ever EPL finish looms: Leicester , Stoke City , Leeds
Central to this new style of play has been star midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has racked up 13 assists and constantly delivers all-action displays in the Foxes’ engine room. Another team vying for automatic promotion and it is one awfully familiar to those who were around when the Premier League was in its infancy: Ipswich Town.
Three consecutive wins also helped with entering the conversation for the top two, but a surprise loss to Cardiff City has slightly dampened hopes of an automatic promotion spot. Funnily enough, it might be the Saints who have the biggest say given they play Leicester and Leeds in the final run-in, with both games away from the home comforts of St. Mary’s.
By the time Huddersfield roll into Portman Road, the top two might have already got away from the Tractor Boys so we’re tipping them to end the season in third.Not as exciting as one would’ve hoped, but a well deserved reward for being the best of the Championship after another gruelling 46-game season.Rotherham United have already been relegated back to League One, so that’s one spot in the bottom three sealed.
However, Birmingham have been horrible away from home this season with just three wins from 22 away games to date, giving Blues fans very little reason to feel optimistic.
