What is at stake on final day of Premier League season?
While Arsenal won their first league title in 22 years on Tuesday, the season finale will determine the remaining qualification places for Europe and final relegation spot. At the top, the Gunners, Manchester City and Manchester United will be in the Champions League and are guaranteed to finish as the top three. Aston Villa have also qualified for the Champions League, but after winning Wednesday's Europa League final, Unai Emery's side's final league position will determine whether one or two more English clubs earn a Champions League spot on the final day.
At the bottom, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley have already had relegation to the Championship confirmed. They will be joined by one of Tottenham and West Ham . Here is a look at what is still at stake on the final day of the season.
Aston Villa moved three points clear of Liverpool with a win over them last Friday This one gets a little bit confusing, but the picture has been made clearer by Villa beating Freiburg in the Europa League final. Because England has won one of two Elite Performance Spots (EPS) for next season's Champions League, five Premier League clubs will feature in the competition instead of four. Like England, Spain have also guaranteed five clubs.
We already know that Arsenal , City, United and Villa are four of those. But because of Villa winning the Europa League final, there is a scenario where six English clubs qualify for the Champions League next term. For that to happen, Villa would need to finish fifth.
Currently, they are fourth - three points clear of fifth-placed Liverpool . That means Liverpool would need to beat Brentford and hope Villa lose at City for them to overtake Emery's team. Fans of Bournemouth and Brighton will also hope this happens.
