The Premier League returns after the 3-month COVID-inspired break,
It promises to be an exciting finale as the battle for the remaining UEFA Champions League places as well as avoiding relegation take precedence.
Outgoing champions, Manchester City will look to consolidate second place while Brendan Rogers and his Leicester City upstarts will be eager to keep its current place on the table.
The battle for the 4th and last UCL place could be one of the most exciting in the last 8 rounds. Chelsea currently occupies this position but will be eager to fend off one of the chasing pack: Manchester United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Sheffield United, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

The Canaries’ lack of defensive nous could see them relegated while Aston Villa and Bournemouth fight to climb out of the drop zone.
