The Premier League’s European qualification race will be decided on the final day, with nine clubs still chasing four available places across UEFA competitions. Liverpool remain favourites for the last Champions League spot, but several clubs can still shift the final order.

Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, Sunderland, Chelsea, Newcastle, Everton and Fulham all remain involved in different qualification routes. Wins, goal difference and Aston Villa’s Europa League outcome could decide Champions League, Europa League and Conference League places.
