Premier League missed out on an extra place in the Champions League next season so which sides are in line for qualifying for European competition? Race for top four, Europa League and Europa Conference League analysed as Tottenham, Chelsea, Man Utd and Newcastle compete
It is getting closer and closer between Tottenham, Newcastle, Chelsea and Manchester United as the race for European qualification looks set to go to the wire.
As ever, there are few certainties but plenty of variables at play as the season enters the final stages.
First, the certainties: Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool have qualified for the Champions League.
Aston Villa need three more points from their final two games to join them.
With Italy and Germany claiming the extra Champions League qualifying spots, only the top four in the Premier League will go into next season’s expanded Champions League.
Tottenham, in fifth, are seven points off Aston Villa with a game in hand. They need a couple of slip-ups from Unai Emery’s side – although Villa do have a tricky couple of remaining Premier League fixtures.
