Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 30 Update!

Yes, chaps - with the resumption of play this past week, the PPP is back in effect! Nothing much changed in the picture this week, but it's been three weeks since we checked in on the the standings, so I thought I'd post them here.

Of course, despite the drab Merseyside Derby on Sunday, Liverpool are running away with the title and should have that wrapped up within the week, barring a dramatic collapse. Two of the other Champions League slots - Citeh and Leicester - look similarly set. Which leaves that last couple of slots - the final CL slot and the Europa League slot - to compete for. Right now, Chelsea are in the final CL slot and United in the EL slot, but Wolves, Sheffield United, Palace and Arsenal will push them in the last eight matches starting today.

At the bottom, Norwich are all but down, which leaves Villa and Bournemouth scrambling to escape the drop, with Watford and West Ham just above them.

In the Championship, that depressing Sunday morning loss for my beloved Leeds boys didn't do that much damage, as Brentford did us a favor with Fulham on Saturday; however, it does mean that we drop to second on goal difference to WBA. That Saturday morning clash with the Cottagers does look like a crucial one for us now.

In Europe, Bayern have been crowned champions, and Barcelona and Juve will likely join them. Jamie Vardy continues at the top of the scoring charts on 19 goals, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in hot pursuit on 17 goals. Kevin de Bruyne continues to be the assist champ on 16.

So, all of that means that our current champions MOT the Hoople continues at the top, albeit with a slightly more narrow lead this week from Swansong. Here are the current standings:

1. MOT the Hoople - 43 points
2. Swansong - 39 pts
3. Blue Devil - 35 pts
4. Someone Said - 34 pts
5. Man Utd Rules - 28 pts
6. West Ham Rising - 27 pts
7. What's Up Wheaton Simon - 24 pts
8. Gooner71 - 23 pts
9. Yellows - 21 pts
10. Red Devil 1FCK - 20 pts
11. The Bee's Knees - 19 pts
-   Pink Kits - 19 pts
-   United We Stand - 19 pts
14. Red Dragon - 18 pts
15. The Saint -16 pts
