Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 16 Update

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm here again at the end of another busy week at work and in the football world to update you on our standings before we head into another big weekend. At this point, with only 16 matches in, it appears that Liverpool's lead at the top of the Premier League is unassailable. It's hard to see Liverpool dropping three matches in the second half of the season; it's also hard to imagine Leicester repeating their miracle season.

At the bottom of the Premier League, Norwich and Watford are now in deep, deep trouble, with only the 18th spot seemingly up for grabs between the likes of Southampton, who are currently in that slot, and Everton, Bournemouth, West Ham and Villa.

In the Championship, the top two - my beloved Leeds and West Brom - are similarly starting to pull away from the pack. In Europe, however, it's still fairly tight at the top of the respective leagues, with Barca, Monchengladbach and Inter still at the top.

Jamie Vardy has increased his goal tally to an incredible 16 in 16 matches could easily best 30 goals this season. Kevin de Bruyne and his Citeh pals have been a bit out of sorts recently, but he's still on top of the assist bracket with several players in hot pursuit.

All that means that the four Liverpool backers are in pole position, as they're somewhat guaranteed 10 points in the game at this point. Here are the current standings:

1. MOT the Hoople - 35 points
2. Blue Devil - 33 pts
-  West Ham Rising - 33 pts
4. Swansong - 32 pts
5. Someone Said - 28 pts
6. Pink Kits - 23 pts
7. Yellows - 20 pts
8. United We Stand - 17 pts
-  Red Dragon - 17 pts
10. Man Utd Rules - 16 pts
-  The Saint - 16 pts
12. The Bee's Knees - 15 pts
13. Red Devil 1FCK - 14 pts
14. What's Up Wheaton Simon - 13 pts
15. Gooner71 - 10 pts
