As expected, the Premier League continues to serve excitement and drama. Indeed, the table is experiencing some reshuffling, especially the relegation zone.
After game week 24, Newcastle swam out of the relegation waters into 17th position for the first time this season. On the other hand, Everton are drowning ever so slightly, with just one point above the Magpies.
And yet, the most intense competition is for the last Champions League spot. Only six points separate West Ham in fourth place and Wolves in eighth place.
Some key battles await this weekend.
