As the Premier League season concludes, the focus shifts to the battle for European qualification, with multiple teams vying for spots in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Chelsea are in a strong position for Champions League qualification, while teams like Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest rely on other results to secure their place. Brighton and Brentford compete for a Conference League spot, demonstrating the competitive stakes even on the last day of the season with all matches kicking off simultaneously.
Manchester City, Newcastle United and Chelsea occupy the top five - so know a win will take them to the Champions League, barring an unlikely goal difference swing.
Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest need other results to go their way to squeeze in. But the twist is that seventh-placed Forest host Chelsea, who are fifth.
Whoever finishes sixth will be guaranteed at least a Europa League spot - while Newcastle have a minimum of a Conference League spot in the bank from winning the Carabao Cup.
Brighton and Brentford are still hoping to sneak into a Conference League spot. Albion just need a point to finish eighth but the Bees would finish above them with a win.
