Other data stories
Lots to play for
With two games to go, every team in the league still has uncertainty about where they will finish the season. Some know that they'll be relegated, and some know that they'll be assured a place in Europe, but none of the 20 teams actually know which place they'll finish in. Depending on how the next two games go, Brentford could see themselves sitting as high as 6th place, or as low as 13th.

Let's hope that the Bees finish the year much closer to 6th than 13th.
