The Premier League is coming to a conclusion.

Manchester City and Liverpool are locked in a battle to win the titl, while further down the table, in the battle for the top four, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are separated by just three points, with two sides set to miss out.

The league table is so tight, Mauricio Pochettino, per the Irish Independent, believes it will come down to goal difference... Do Football FanCast's writers agree?

James Beavis

"In terms of the title, I don't think it will. Man City already have a decent advantage over Jurgen Klopp's men when it comes down to goal difference. This one will come down to getting three points on the board every time each team steps out on the pitch, and I think they might both take maximum points which would be gut-wrenching for Jurgen Klopp. When it comes to the top four it could easily happen. The four contenders are currently separated by three points, and it is quite feasible that some of them will finish on the same tally in May. Man United should be seriously worried in that case, given they are three points worse off than Tottenham and two adrift of Arsenal, who have goal differences of +11 and +7 better than them respectively."

Matt Dawson

"It would be quite something if the title race and top four both came down to goal difference on the final day. However, I think it's extremely unlikely. What's crazy about this season, though, is that either Liverpool or City could find themselves in a situation where they lose the league having amassed a points tally capable of winning multiple titles down the years. It seems almost ridiculous to think that but it's a testament to how good the pair have been. The fact that no position in the top six is wrapped up will make the final few weeks of the season absolutely mouth-watering."

Billy Meyers

"I think Manchester City have the goal difference ball well in their court, so the title shouldn't come down to that unless something extraordinary happens. The top four, however, could well be determined by goal difference. None of them have shown consistently that they can thrash teams as City do, and given the narrow margins of victory of late, a single goal could be decisive."
