It's so close still, but who will win it?

I still think we're in with a shout. The refereeing decisions against us recently have been atrocious, but Celtic just seem incapable of asserting dominance at the moment. The same could be said for us however; though a 4 point gap at this stage in the season is excellent work from AFC given the disparity in finances.

Also, c'mon Leicester!
 
Well Spurs blew it, they really needed those points, especially with the risky game with Arsenal at the weekend which they could easily drop more points at.

the same pot that any of the teams finishing first would?

If they win the league they go in pot one, anywhere else they will land up in one of the bottom pots and if they finish 4th and need to go through the qualifiers there seeding would expect be pretty awful given a total lack of European pedigree.
 
Go here for the full rankings etc, been using this site for over 10 years and in my experience is 100% accurate (and more up to date / comprehensive than any official resource): http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/

From memory winners are now automatic first seeds but if not they will have to inherit England's coefficient as they won't have their own recent club history in Europe.
Looking here http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/trank2016.html
England currently have a ranking of 14.781 which means Leicester would be effectively ranked about 124th in Europe, subject to slight change depending on how our clubs get on in the rest of this season. Obviously not all the teams above them will be participating in Europe next season but for example looking at the list you can see they would be considered inferior to many of the clubs from the 'minor' European leagues.

Back on topic, I genuinely don't know. If I had to choose I'd go with Leicester simply because they have a 5pt cushion and a fairly decent run in. On paper they have a really tough final 3 games (mun,EVE,che) HOWEVER by that point the likes of Everton and Chelsea could be on the beach with nothing to play for.

Hard to call.

If Leicster want to win it they'll need to have it done before the last 3 games. **** knows if they don't win it as the rest seem intent on doing anything but.
 
Leicester will win it with Spurs in second and Arsenal in third.

Would be great if Leicester can do it, what a story that would be.
