The Premier League final day on Sunday sees an opportunity for a host of clubs to secure continental football.

Teams from third to ninth in the table still don’t know which European competition they will feature in next season, if any.

English teams can gain up to 10 European spots next season due to the impressive performance of Premier League teams in UEFA competitions this year, including six in the Champions League.

Crystal Palace have already secured a place in next season’s Europa League by winning the FA Cup last Saturday.

Here’s how it could all go down on the final day.

Tottenham will feature in the Champions League next year after winning the Europa League

Arsenal have secured Champions League qualification for next season and sit in second place

Who’s in contention?

Man City, Newcastle, and Chelsea currently occupy the three Champions League spots still up for grabs.

Aston Villa and Newcastle currently occupy the Europa League berths, but could still sneak into the top five if results go their way.

Lower down the table, Brighton and Brentford are still in with a long shot at Conference League qualification by finishing eighth – but they need a plethora of favours from elsewhere.

Man City

City are currently in the strongest position to secure their spot next season, sitting in third place on 68 points.

They face Fulham at Craven Cottage in their final game of the season, with a win guaranteeing their spot in the top five.

A draw would also effectively secure Champions League football due to their goal difference being superior to Aston Villa in sixth.

Man City have had a disappointing season but should still secure a Champions League place

A loss in west London would put their fate in the hands of others – but Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa would all have to win to force City down to sixth, and into the Europa League.

Newcastle

Despite their recent loss against Arsenal, Newcastle are also primed for Champions League football next season – they are in fourth place with 66 points.

A place in at least the Conference League is guaranteed after their Carabao Cup triumph in March – and their goal difference makes it all but certain the Magpies will finish in the top 6.

A win in their final fixture against Everton would effectively seal Newcastle’s place in Europe’s premier club competition.

Their goal difference is – again – too superior to Aston Villa’s, barring a miracle 14-goal swing for Unai Emery’s men.

A draw would risk their top-five spot. Either side winning in Forest vs Chelsea, alongside a Villa win, would see the Geordies fall into the Europa League places if they share the points on Sunday.

If Eddie Howe’s side loses, though, only a Villa loss would allow them to snatch Champions League qualification.

Chelsea

Chelsea currently occupy the fifth and final Champions League berth, sharing Newcastle’s total of 66 points – but face a tough test away at fellow European contenders Forest.

A win at the City Ground would put the Blues in the same boat as Newcastle; their place would be all but guaranteed with a better goal difference than Villa. The Blues can also book a Europa League spot by winning the Conference League.

A draw could also do the job for Enzo Maresca’s men – only a Villa win, combined with a Newcastle win or draw, would see them fall down the table.

A loss, however, would lessen their chances significantly. Chelsea would have to hope that Newcastle lose by more than four goals, along with a Villa loss, to maintain any hope of Champions League qualification.

Aston Villa

Villa are currently sixth on 66 points, on the outside of the Champions League spots looking inwards. Their final day sees them looking for a result away at Old Trafford.

Their European fate is in the hands of others. A win only gets them Champions League qualification if one of the following happens: Man City lose, Newcastle lose or draw, or Chelsea lose or draw.

Aston Villa were knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals by Paris Saint-Germain

A draw could still see them in with a shout – but, again, this depends on either Newcastle or Chelsea failing to win.

Villa’s top-five hopes would end with a loss to Manchester United. No set of circumstances could see Villa qualify should they lose on Sunday – and a Forest win or draw against Chelsea could see them drop into seventh.

On a more positive note, a European spot is guaranteed for Villa in any case – but a place in the Conference League would be a disappointing end to the season for Emery’s men.

Nottingham Forest

Forest have the smallest chance of qualifying for the Champions League, sitting on 65 points in seventh.

But Nuno Espirito Santo’s side also have an advantage – their fixture against Chelsea, who are in fifth, means they can directly affect one of the teams above them.

A win alone would not be enough. Espirito Santo’s men have to hope that either Aston Villa or Newcastle drop points in order to move into the top five.

A draw or a loss at the City Ground would extinguish any chance of Champions League next season, but a point could still help secure Forest a top-six spot – and Europa League football – if Villa lose.

Nottingham Forest haven’t played in the Champions League since 1981 and sit in seventh

Does eighth place still get European Competition?

Crystal Palace’s FA Cup victory makes the chances of an extra European place for eighth slim.

But, if Chelsea win their Conference League final against Real Betis on Wednesday and finish seventh, the extra Conference League berth created would drop down to eighth place.

Chelsea would only finish seventh if they lost at Forest, and Aston Villa won or drew against Man United in their final game.

Here’s the teams that could sneak into Europe if these results come to pass:

Crystal Palace are guaranteed to play in next season’s Europa League after winning the FA Cup 

Brighton are in command of eighth on 58 points. They face Europa League winners Tottenham away on the final day.

A single point is enough to guarantee eighth place – but whether that means European competition will only be revealed on Wednesday.

Brentford are the only team that are in a position leapfrog them – they face Wolves at Molineux on Sunday.

The Bees would need to win and for Brighton to lose to retain any European hopes, but their superior goal difference means that hope is still well and truly alive.
