Premier League football returns this week for Watford and their top flight rivals.<\/p>\n
When the action finally resumes on Wednesday, it will have been three months since the campaign was suspended due to the coronavirus crisis and there is a very short timeframe for the season to be concluded, with 92 matches still to be played, all of which will be televised on live TV and take place behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
But there are still some big issues to be determined in the remaining games, with several clubs battling to avoid relegation, including Watford, West Ham and Brighton, who currently sit just outside the bottom three, with Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich City currently in the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
Renowned data analysts FiveThirtyEight have assessed the remaining fixtures and crunched the data to predict how the final rankings will look - and it's great news for Watford and West Ham. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, its great news for Leicester, Chelsea and potentially Manchester United when it comes to the top four battle.<\/p>\n
Man Citys appeal against a two-year ban from UEFA competitions was heard last week with a decision expected in July. If upheld, fifth-place could secure Champions League football - which would benefit United, according to these predictions.<\/p>\n
