However, the past few results for Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea have revived the race for the top-four. That race will intensify on Wednesday night when Tottenham and Chelsea play their games-in-hand on Liverpool. Here is what is happening with the respective teams in midweek:<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whoscored.com\/Matches\/1190516\/Preview\/England-Premier-League-2017-2018-Chelsea-Huddersfield\">Chelsea face relegation-threatened Huddersfield<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Chelsea fresh from four league wins in the row host relegation-threatened Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge in a big game for both teams.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea now trails Tottenham by just two points and Liverpool by a further one in the race to secure qualification for Europe\u2019s elite competition next season.<\/p>\n<p>Antonio Conte\u2019s side may have hit form slightly too late to break back into the top-four after an inconsistent season for the former champions. The Blues will be confident of keeping their fight alive until the last day of the season.<\/p>\n<p>The team from south west London have won their last three competitive games against the visitors while scoring two or more goals in all three wins.<\/p>\n<p>Huddersfield are just three points clear of the drop zone after a run of just one victory in their last eight league matches.<\/p>\n<p>The Terriers poor position has been caused by a lack of goals, as the Terriers have scored just 27 league goals this season, with no team scoring fewer goals in the top-flight this season.<\/p>\n<p>David Wagner\u2019s team have also struggled for wins on their travels this season, recording just three away league wins. Town have also scored just seven goals on their travels in the Premier League, failing to score in 13 of those 17 away games. That poor record in front of goal could continue in this clash, as the Blues have kept clean sheets in their last two outings.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\">Chelsea look to be massive favourites to win this game<\/a><\/strong>. However, as Huddersfield shown in a goalless draw with Manchester City last time out, they can be a tough team to beat.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/tottenham-vs-newcastle\/373405\">Tottenham desperate to get back to winning ways<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Tottenham\u2019s season has taken a turn for the worst in recent weeks. The team from north London have won just one of their last four matches in the league, suffering a shock 1-0 defeat at struggling West Brom last time out.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs cannot afford another slip-up at home against Newcastle at Wembley, with their spot in the Champions League in major danger. Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s team have been in good form at Wembley in the league, winning eight of their last ten matches in the top-flight. They have also managed to keep clean sheets in five of their last six home outings.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle\u2019s main aim is now a top-half finish after securing their Premier League status. The Magpies form has taken a slight downturn since reaching safety, as they have suffered three consecutive defeats in the league. The side from the north east already look like they are on their summer holidays.<\/p>\n<p>A Tottenham win should be enough for the side from north London to secure their top-four spot, although the race would still go down to the last day of the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Which two teams will join Manchester City and Manchester United in the Champions League next season?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago, it seemed that the fight for the Premier League Champions League spots was done and dusted.

My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/Nuge1983\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legitgambling.com\\\/news\\\/author\\\/david-nugent\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"The battle for Premier League top-four set to go to the wire -","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/the-battle-for-premier-league-top-four-set-to-go-to-the-wire\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"The battle for Premier League top-four set to go to the wire -","og_description":"A few weeks ago, it seemed that the fight for the Premier League Champions League spots was done and dusted.
