When it comes to challenging for the title, Manchester City have the easiest run-in, facing eight teams outside the top six. From the top four, Manchester United's hopes of securing a Champions League place are looking more flimsy as they face five of the current top seven, although Liverpool's run of games is hardly easier. Southampton and Tottenham, on the other hand, mainly face lower-half sides - even if Spurs have seven out of 11 remaining games away from home.
