We're getting to that point in the season when we have a fairly good idea how things will finish up but still some questions remain. Can anyone catch Chelsea? Who will qualify for the Champions League? Can Spurs finally finish above Arsenal?

While we can't know for certain what will happen, we can turn to those who know a bit more than us to make some educated guesses.

Our friends at Football Manager have crunched the numbers and they've come up with some interesting predictions for how this Premier League season will finish.

If the folks at Football Manager are to be believed, there will be no St Totteringham's Day this year as Spurs will finish four points ahead of the Gunners and claim their best ever Premier League finish in second spot.

Chelsea are still expected to win the title, but Mauricio Pochettino and co will run them close with the final gap being just two points and are interesting expected to lose fewer games than the new champions.

This will largely be thanks to Tottenham's Harry Kane, who Football Manager expect to claim this year's golden boot with 24 goals - ahead of Diego Costa (22 goals), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (21 goals) and Alexis Sanchez (19 goals).

Chelsea and Spurs will be joined in the top four by Arsenal and Manchester City, while Manchester United will finished ahead of Liverpool in fifth.

Football Manager are not anticipating a difficult run in for West Ham, who they expect to finish in the top half of the table in 10th, four points behind ninth-placed Watford.

But things aren't so smooth for Crystal Palace who are due to finish in 16th place - one above defending champions Leicester City who the simulation says will escape relegation by a mere two points.

It's bad news for Hull, Sunderland and Middlesbrough, who will all go down while Newcastle and Brighton are expected to take their places - with Huddersfield, Reading, Leeds and Derby all battling it out in the Championship playoffs for the third promotion spot.
