After 30 rounds of Premier League matches, Manchester City has dropped points in consecutive games, leaving the title race with no suspense, while the battle for fifth place and relegation is intense.

Following Wolves, the league's bottom team, recovering from a two-goal deficit to secure a 2-2 draw away at Brentford, all fixtures of the Premier League's 30th round have been completed. This indicates that only eight matches remain in the season. With Manchester City losing points in two straight games against relegation sides, the championship contest is now without doubt. Yet, the struggle for the fifth spot (Champions League berth) and the relegation fight are highly intense.
