Arsenal are in the driving seat, Tottenham need new players, West Ham are the underdogs while Manchester United are stuck in mediocrity... how does the race for the top four look as the battle for the Champions League hots up?

After the hectic Christmas period, the Premier League season is supposed to calm back down and give us a sense of where teams are at in their seasons. Not this year.

Coronavirus cancellations means the number of games in hand for certain teams is off the scale.

Take the top four race for example, Arsenal are in the driving seat but fourth place is very much in Tottenham's hands. West Ham have a solid advantage over Manchester United, but things could change once the games even out again.
