I came up with the same 3 and eliminated Liverpool because it’s Liverpool.

I think we would have beaten the barcodes anyway so palace looks like best chance of ‘extra’ points.

With Liverpool its a case of what team he picks, you need 5 apps to get a league winners medal so will Klopp rotate to get players a medal ?

The Wolves game with no home backing is a real kicking as that would have helped

Palace / Newcastle need 6 points
Rest hard to call

From the BBC.

Clubs have been carrying out coronavirus testing this weekend to ensure there is no further delay, but a number of players - including Newcastle United defender Danny Rose and Watford skipper Troy Deeney - have expressed concerns about returning.

If Deeney doesn't fancy it, that'll help us.

IF the season does re start it will see many freak results. Tons of players won’t be fit and sides that do have minimal to play for could spring some weird results. Hopefully for us it means Newcastle, Palace, Everton, Arsenal and maybe even wolves gives us more opportunity.

I’d find it hilarious if a side that thinks it’s safe gets dragged into bottom 3

I think this is a distinct possibility. We're far from doomed if there is a restart. Regardless of who finishes in the bottom three I think it will be unfair to the relegated teams, even more so if they promote from the Championship without them finishing their season.

If PL finish the season and the championship doesn't then the PL should just refuse to accept their top two

Deeney has already spoken out as being opposed to it. Bruce has also expressed concerns.

Bruce issue is training
 
The problem being they are planning to be back this week but in small groups and only move to full training a week before the season starts.He is worried about injuries.

If we are being expected to play out the season in full and earn our place in the PL then the Championship should too. Anything less they should be told isn’t going to be good enough.

Leeds and Albion fans behave like they’ve got a 25 point lead too. I can see the Bitters faltering a bit as they’ve been presumptively promoted already by their fans.

They just need to make a decision - but money will win.

Government have agreed that PL could restart in the middle of June.
