Premier League talking points: Top-four race heats up as Man City close on title
City can claim the title this weekend, while opponents Chelsea need the points for their top-four push.
Things are heating up as the Premier League edges closer to a conclusion.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at some of the main talking points heading into gameweek 35.
Will Tottenham keep up top-four push?
Can Liverpool put pressure on Chelsea?
Can City clinch title in final dress rehearsal?
Can Man Utd cope with schedule?
Neighbours Manchester United are also through to a continental final, having overcome Roma in a goal-filled Europa League semi-final to set up a shot at glory against Villarreal in Gdansk. But the main talking point after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reached his first final at the Old Trafford helm was about schedules rather than success. Last Sunday’s postponed match against Liverpool due to anti-Glazer protests has been moved to next Thursday, leaving Solskjaer raging about a run of four matches in eight days. The 3-2 second leg loss to Roma kicked off that mini-marathon, with Sunday’s trip to Aston Villa to come before hosting Leicester and then Liverpool. Solskjaer, whose side are second, has some big selection decisions to make in the coming days.
