OT: Premier League Championship Sunday

TheFifthFuller wrote a killer post earlier in the week outlining the exciting conclusion to the Premier League season, which culminates this Sunday with 10 (yes, 10!) simultaneous matches. Following the Wednesday matches, here is an update on where everything stands, in terms of the title chase, Europa League qualification and relegation:

Premier League Title:
If Manchester City beat West Ham on Sunday, they will win the title

• If Manchester City draw against West Ham on Sunday, they are all but assured of winning the title because of far superior goal difference over Liverpool
• If Liverpool beat Newcastle and Manchester City lose against West Ham on Sunday, Liverpool will win the Premier League title
• Chelsea have been officially eliminated from title contention

Champions League:

• Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have all clinched Champions League berths for next season.

Europa League:

• Tottenham will qualify for Europa League unless Manchester United win and Tottenham lose on Sunday.

Relegation:

• Sunderland have clinched safety with win against West Brom
• Norwich City are all but assured of being relegated due to far inferior goal difference

Got it?

The domestic broadcaster for the EPL here in the States is NBC Universal, who owns half of cable and occasionally commandeers certain channels for premier sporting events (though one could argue they failed miserably during the Olympicsbut I digress). So for those of you hoping to catch a re-run of Top Chef Season 4 on Bravo or Piranhaconda on SciFi Syfy this Sunday morning, I hate to break it to you but youre SOL. NBCSports will be broadcasting each of the 10 matches across 10 of their channels, enabling fans across the country to tune in and watch the conclusion of this thrilling 2013-14 season. Whether youre interested in the EPL title chase between ManCity and Liverpool, or if Norwich City can stave off relegation by overcoming their 17-goal differential and shock the world (this will almost assuredly not happen, but it would be awesome if it didbut it wont because the Canaries are horrendous, offensively).

TheFifthFuller (@TheFifthFuller) and I (@PhillyHokie007) will be taking over all of the viewing devices in our households and reacting live to multiple matches on twitter throughout the morning. We will be focusing specifically on the top 3 matches within the schedule above ManCity-WestHam, Liverpool-Newcastle and Spurs-Villa with TheFifthFuller reacting violently to the happenings at Villa. Feel free to join in the discussion online, and if youre temporarily free from Mothers Day celebrations with the family, tune in. History has shown that the last Sunday in the season can be extremely compelling, and if anything it should do a great job of getting everyone excited for the upcoming World Cup.
