The English Premier League is set to return June 17 and there's still a great deal to play for at both ends of the table.
The EPL's three promoted sides — Sheffield United, Norwich City and Aston Villa — find themselves at each end of the standings. The Blades are remarkably eyeing a spot in Europe, while Norwich and Villa are fighting for EPL survival.

As any soccer fanatic knows — be it a player, a spectator or even a parent — the game is more than just a game, it’s a lifestyle.
