In terms of points from last 5 games, the two hottest teams in Premier League are Leicester and Chrystal Palace, I think. Relegation pressure seems to be working nicely.

The power of new managers!

[Edit]

Was thinking about Chelsea and had a sudden thought. Ashley Cole would have been perfect for the left wing back role in Chelsea atm. Alonso has been solid, his height has been useful, but can't help but feel that he lacks the scary pacy dribbling edge that top class LB has.

yes 5 is the maximum number. 4th gets EL spot if Leicester wins CL and ManU wins EL. Leicester + ManU + 1st PL + 2nd PL get CL spots automatically. 3rd PL get a CL qualifier spot.

4th gets a CL spot if Leicester OR ManU wins a trophy, not both.

Isn't the 3rd spot automatic now as the top 4 spots becoming automatic next season right? With the new champions league rule of top 4 teams in Germany/Spain/England/Italy get 4 teams in the competition group stage until another team gets replaced in the rankings or whatever the rule was xD

Or does that not come into effect next season

Excatly relegation/promotion adds so much excitement to leagues that might otherwise get a bit stale at the end of the season. MLS needs relegation, it will bring life to a division below aswell.

Leicester City's form confuses me emotionally. I love that they are back and playing great football ('playing like champions again' the words of Lineker) but hate the conclusion they were right to sack Claudio Ranieri. That can't have been the right decision but results say otherwise ㅠㅠ.

Heard that ranieri changed the way they played this season. No more 4-4-2 counter that won them last season. Think he was stubborn and didn't revert back despite their shit form. So he deserved the sack although harsh. Shakespeare seemed to have made Leicester go back to their old style again, and the results have swung in.
