Vincent Kompany’s men maintained their upturn in form with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over bottom side Sheffield United.

With Nottingham Forest losing 2-0 to Everton, it means the gap to safety is now just three points with only four games remaining.

Using statistics provided by Opta, we’ve taken a look at how the final Premier League table is predicted to look:

Pep Guardiola's side dropped down to third after not being in league action this weekend, but Opta say they still have a 62% chance of retaining their title.
