When you say that 74-75 points will "normally" secure a play-off place, Matt, is that based on a 46-game season? Should it be adjusted this year as we`re playing only 42 games?

Presumably the higher-placed finishers get home advantage, do they? That would make a hell of an incentive to finish as high as possible.

Yes that's correct SGB, 74-75 pts is normally off a 46-game season. For a 42 game season you could be looking at 65-72 pts for a playoff spot, that's going off the North/South tables over the past few seasons.

Yes you are correct the teams which finish higher get home advantage and the final is normally played at Wembley but because the Euro's are on it will probably end up at a neutral ground like Old Trafford or Villa Park.
