Breaking Down The Run-In: What Every Premier League Team Is Playing For and How They Can Get There

Every Premier League Side's Run-In and What They're Playing For

We're now in what gets named as the business end of the season, there's only 12 games left of this Premier League Campaign and everything is still up for grabs.

None of the title, Champions League spots, Europa and Conference League spots and relegation have been decided just yet but we do have a pretty good idea of who's competing for what and who is most likely for which.

That said here is the list of who every team has left to play and what the best outcome of the season could realistically be for them.
