Premier league

But City have a treble in their sights as the EFL Cup winners seek a victory that would wrap up the top-flight title this weekend and Tuchel knows the Blues, fresh from Wednesday’s 2-0 triumph over Real Madrid, will be up against it at the Etihad Stadium.

Kane hit the crossbar with a free-kick inside the final 20 minutes at Elland Road but chasing the game left Tottenham increasingly vulnerable on the break and Rodrigo completed the misery for Ryan Mason’s side at Elland Road.

Chelsea regrouped at the break and responded with goals from Hakim Ziyech and Marcos Alonso to win 2-1.

Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Chelsea are all joint fourth on the list, rated at 6%, while Barcelona are among those who have been given less than a 1% chance of going all the way after their 4-1 home defeat to PSG.

“The favourites are PSG, Manchester City and Chelsea”.

As Liverpool lurk, Tuchel talked up the importance of securing a spot in Europe’s premier club competition next season, which can also be clinched if Chelsea beat Manchester City in the Champions League final on May 29.

In his 12 matches that he has taken charge, the Norwegian has lost seven. That is 58% of all of his games: the worst of any coach who has managed more than 10 matches at an English club.

The English tabloid claims that the Hoops hold a “serious interest” in the 17-year-old but they could face Ajax in the race to sign the player at the end of the season.

However, he continued his prolific form this season with an opportunistic goal to level the scores at San Siro, firing home after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain had seen his initial effort saved.

The main competition will have 36 teams, instead of the current 32, with reports suggesting that two of those places may not even be dependent on where a club finishes in their domestic league.
