Every race remains to be up within the air within the Premier League.
Just one point separates the primary three clubs at the highest of the table: Arsenal (68 points, +48 GD), Liverpool (67 points, +40 goal difference) and Manchester City (67 points, +38 GD).
And the battle at the underside is just as chaotic.
Five teams – Brentford, Everton, Nottingham Forest, Luton Town and Burnley – try to avoid being relegated with Sheffield United, which appears a sure thing at this point.
Arsenal and Manchester City each won Wednesday against lesser foes.
Liverpool is up next Thursday against Sheffield United (2:30 p.m. ET, Peacock).

Liverpool vs. Sheffield United evaluation
It is going to take a minor miracle for Sheffield United to stave off relegation this season.
The Blades currently sit on 15 points from 29 matches and have three wins on the campaign.
No team has allowed more goals than Sheffield United’s 77 (2.66 per game) and only Luton Town has conceded more expected goals. The Blades are -10000 to go down.
That said, they’ve shown some signs of lifetime of late. Chris Wilder’s side has drawn its last two matches and it wasn’t prefer it was playing other relegation contenders.
Each Bournemouth and Fulham had been in good form before getting humbled a bit by the Blades.
Getting a few draws against mid-table sides is nothing to be parading about – especially after Sheffield United was drubbed, 6-0, by Arsenal in its previous match.
But those are the slivers of hope you cling to whenever you’re trying to return up for a reason to back the massive-underdog Blades to win at Anfield on Thursday.
The three-way moneyline price ought to be much higher.
It’s at all times fun to throw a pair of greenbacks on a +2000 underdog in a single match, but that is one among the worst defensive teams in Premier League history going against top-of-the-line attacks on the earth.Â
Liverpool vs. Sheffield United pick
Simply because I’m not endorsing a bet on the underdog doesn’t mean we are able to’t have a bit little bit of fun.Â
Sheffield United’s attack was miserable for the primary 4 months of the season, however the Blades have shown some more punching power of late.
They scored two or more goals in six of their last 11 matches (they were shutout in each of the opposite five), and their underlying metrics have improved since Wilder took over in December, Ben Brereton Diaz joined the club and Oliver McBurnie got healthy.

Plus, it’s not like this Liverpool defense is infallible. The Reds have conceded first in three of their last 4 matches and were trailing at halftime to Luton Town just just a few weeks ago.
Liverpool plays with a ton of risk and knows it may possibly outscore its problems, which may result in some chaos, especially at first of games.
Reasonably than throw up a prayer that Sheffield United can pull the stunner, back the Blades to attain first or, for those who’re feeling frisky, on the first-half moneyline.
