‘The table doesn’t lie.' It’s true. We can moan, groan and recall the ‘what ifs’ of the season, but ultimately each team’s destiny will be decided by their own performances.

With a league-low of 25 goals in 31 games, the Canaries appear condemned to life back in the Championship. However, while the table may reflect their points garnered so far, Daniel Farke would...
