The Premier League season is coming to its conclusion. Besides the title race between Manchester City and Arsenal, one of the main intrigues remains the distribution of European spots for the next season. Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa have already secured places in the Champions League, leaving questions only about the Europa League and the Conference League.

Tottenham will not drop below sixth place, and even a draw against Sheffield United will guarantee them fifth position and a place in the Europa League. Chelsea just needs to avoid losing to Bournemouth to secure a spot in the European competitions. The Blues still have theoretical chances for fifth place.

Newcastle must defeat Brentford and hope for Chelsea's defeat to maintain seventh place. To hold onto seventh position, the Magpies must perform no worse than Manchester United in the final round.

The most complicated situation is for the Red Devils, but they still have the FA Cup final. A victory in the final will send Manchester United to the Europa League, and the sixth-place Premier League team will play in the Conference League. In this case, the club finishing seventh will be left without European football.

By the way, the Opta supercomputer presented the teams' chances for the final standings.
