EPL Power Rankings

UEFA Champions League Qualifiers

1 Liverpool – 45 pts (Prev Rank: 2)
Liverpool have taken over the top of the Premier League standings and our rankings. They are still the only team yet to lose a game in the EPL, and are out scoring their opponents 11-2 in the last four matches.

_{Next Match:Wolverhampton}

2 Manchester City – 44 pts (Previous: 1)
The noisy neighbors drop down a spot in both rankings and standings after losing to Chelsea in match-day 16. They are still only 1 point away from the lead, but have a ridiculous +38 in goal difference.

_{Next Match: Crystal Palace}

3 Tottenham Hotspur – 39 pts (Previous: 3)
The Spurs are still 6 points away from the top spot. In what could be a trap game this Sun, 8th place Everton can knock the Spurs out of the 3rd spot.

_{Next Match: Everton}

4 Chelsea – 37 pts (Previous: 4)
Being only 2 points behind the Spurs, the Blues can move into the 3rd spot in the standings with some help and a victory over Leicester City. With only 2 losses on the season, Chelsea are looking to become part of the 40 point club this weekend.

_{Next Match: Leicester City}

5 Arsenal – 34 pts (Previous: 5)
Arsenal are looking to jump Chelsea in the standings, but may have to wait another week. In what should be a victory over Burnley for the Gunners, Chelsea are also favorites to earn 3pts keeping both teams put.

_{Next Match: Burnley}

Stoppage Time

Europa League Qualifiers

1 Manchester United – 26 pts (6th in EPL)
Again by default at the top of stoppage time, the Red Devils made the move of the week #joseout. With a new boss in town the question now is #olein?

_{Next Match: Cardiff}

2 Everton – 24 pts (8th in EPL)
The only team in stoppage time on the plus side of goal difference +2, they get a very tough match up with Tottenham . The 8th spot is in jeopardy with West Ham, Watford, and Bournemouth could all move ahead of them in the standings with a victory.

_{Next Match: Tottenham}

3 Wolverhampton – 25 pts (7th in EPL)
The Wolves make the climb into a qualifying spot for Europa, bypassing Everton in the table, but not on our standings. This might be short lived as they play 1st place Liverpool who are heavy favorites and likely to knock them out of contention.

_{Next Match: Liverpool}
