Arsenal sit five points clear after beating Burnley, meaning Manchester City must win at Bournemouth to keep the race alive. A draw for City leaves them four points behind with only one game left, while a victory would force them to beat Aston Villa and hope Arsenal slip at Crystal Palace.

European qualification hinges on tonight's fixtures. Liverpool will join the confirmed Champions League trio of Arsenal, City and Manchester United if Bournemouth lose, while a draw still leaves Liverpool in contention provided Bournemouth falters against Nottingham Forest. A Bournemouth win pushes them just ahead of Liverpool, guaranteeing at least sixth place.

At the bottom end, Tottenham can clinch survival and relegate West Ham by beating Chelsea, creating a five‑point gap with one match remaining. A draw almost assures Spurs' safety, while West Ham would need Tottenham to lose both of their final games and then overturn a 13‑goal difference deficit against Leeds. Chelsea's realistic aim is seventh, chasing Brighton for a European slot.
