Bournemouth in Europe for first time - but Champions League still on
The extra place in the Champions League that the Premier League earned through the European Performance spot would go to the team finishing sixth. To finish fifth, Villa would need to lose at Manchester City , and Liverpool win at home to Brentford . If Bournemouth avoid defeat at Nottingham Forest , or Brighton fail to win at home to Manchester United , the Cherries would finish sixth and play among Europe's elite next season.
If Liverpool lose, then Bournemouth could overtake them on goal difference. That would probably require a swing of at least seven goals - so Liverpool to lose 3-0 and Bournemouth to win 4-0. But how about an end-of-season play-off to decide the final place in the Champions League?
That could happen if Liverpool lost 1-0 to the Bees, and Bournemouth won 5-0 at Forest. Goals scored and goals conceded would be identical, head-to-head points would both be three, while they each scored twice away from home against each other. Boats, fire and a TikTok song - inside Arsenal's title win The key moments that decided the Premier League title race 'A brilliant performance' - what makes Bournemouth so tough to play against?
The Premier League title is now Arsenal 's for the first time in 22 years, but six of the 10 games on the final day will still have something riding on them. As well as the Champions League, slots in the Europa League, Conference League and relegation are to be decided. For the final relegation place, West Ham need a victory at home to Leeds United to give themselves a chance.
Then it is down to Tottenham , who would need to cast aside their home hoodoo to stay in the Premier League. No team has won fewer points at home than Spurs this season, with Burnley also on 12 points and two wins. And Roberto de Zerbi's side will host Everton , with only two teams winning more than the Toffees' 26 points on the road this season.
