3. Status for European qualifications:
Victory for West Ham would have temporarily placed them in fourth position leap frogging Manchester City who are due to host their cross-town rivals tomorrow. With United too looking to finish in Top 4 for an entry into Europe’s most Premier Competition aka UEFA Champions League, the Manchester derby is perfectly poised for it. Although they can still end up in the fourth place once the league ends, yet they should have grabbed their chances with both hands today.
On the other hand Chelsea’s aspirations of a Europa league spot have taken a blow too, as they dropped points on their home ground. Even though they are still unbeaten in the league, ever since appointment of Guus Hiddink, yet today’s match leaves them with lot to do if they dream to make it into Europa league next season. They are currently 10th in the premier league table and are 6 points off from 6th place Manchester United and have played one extra game. Also Chelsea were recently been knocked out by PSG from Champions League and their chance of being in Europe for next season almost seems to over.
