The Premier League title race, relegation battle and Liverpool’s Champions League place can be decided.
Arsenal’s Title Hopes
Arsenal moved five points clear with victory over Burnley. Manchester City must win to send the title race to the final day, or the Gunners will be champions.
A draw isn’t enough for City as they would be four points behind with one game left.
If Pep Guardiola’s side win, they would then have to beat Aston Villa on Sunday and hope Arsenal don’t win at Crystal Palace to snatch the title.
Champions League Qualification Scenarios
Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd and Aston Villa have all confirmed their places in the Champions League. Liverpool will join them if Bournemouth lose.
A draw also suits Liverpool as it would leave Bournemouth needing to win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday and Arne Slot’s side to lose to Brentford with a six-goal swing in goal difference. However, it would mean Bournemouth only need a point on the final day to secure sixth, which could result in a Champions League place.
But a victory for Bournemouth would move them just a point behind Liverpool, guaranteeing at least sixth place and blowing the race for the fifth wide open.
Europa League and Conference League Qualification
If Aston Villa do not win the Europa League or don’t finish fifth, then sixth and seventh in the Premier League will qualify for the Europa League, and eighth will qualify for the Conference League.
If Aston Villa win the Europa League final on Wednesday and finish fifth in the Premier League, then the top six will all qualify for the Champions League, with seventh going into the Europa League and eighth qualifying for the Conference League.
Chelsea’s European Hopes
Chelsea still have a very slim chance of qualifying for the Champions League. They would need to win their final two matches and hope for a host of results to go their way, with Brighton and Brentford also still vying for sixth place.
Realistically, Chelsea are playing for seventh and can move a point behind Brighton, who currently occupy that place, with a victory.
Relegation Battle: Tottenham and West Ham
Tottenham can secure their Premier League status and relegate West Ham with a victory at Chelsea.
A win would move Spurs five points clear of the bottom three with just one game remaining.
A draw would all but save Tottenham too. West Ham would need to beat Leeds on Sunday, hope Spurs lose to Everto.
