[EPL]Congrats to Norwich and Sheffield United for getting promoted to EPL next season

[covertbriar]

Currently as things stands, current league leaders Norwich City have officially been promoted to the EPL as a top two team. They can be declared as champions if they avoid defeat next weekend in their final league game of the season.

And the one and only remaining team left who can stop second-placed Sheffield United from being promoted is Leeds United. But Leeds need to win and score by more than 10 goals in their last 2 fixtures to get the automatic promotion spot which is definitely impossible for them to do so.

Hence, only a miracle will stop Sheffield United to get promoted to EPL and they are destined to finish as runners-up to Norwich. As for Leeds, they can only wait for their opponent in the playoff semi-finals as they are guaranteed a spot in the top 4 position.

Current Top 6:

1. Norwich - 91 pts (MP:45 , GD +35)
2. Sheffield Utd - 88 pts (MP:45 , GD +37)
3. Leeds Utd - 82 pts (MP: 44 , GD +24)
4. West Brom - 80 pts (MP: 45 , GD +27)
5. Aston Villa - 75 pts (MP: 44 , GD +22)
6. Derby County - 70 pts (MP: 44 , GD +13)
