The race for Champions League qualification is more competitive than ever with five Premier League teams guaranteed qualification, but which clubs are in the mix?
The race for the top five is tight, as only five points separate Newcastle in third and Chelsea in seventh, with five more game weeks left after the current one.
Liverpool have already wrapped up Champions League football for next season mathematically and Arsenal look all but certain to join them with a six-point buffer over fifth spot.
Behind them, Newcastle, Manchester City, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa are battling it out for the remaining positions.
Newcastle remain in third despite their harrowing 4-1 defeat at Aston Villa, but Forest could climb above them if they can win their game in hand at struggling Tottenham in the Monday Night Football game – live on Sky Sports.
Man City leapfrogged Forest into fourth after their 2-0 win at Everton and closed the gap on third-placed Newcastle to one point.
Both City and Newcastle will be hoping Spurs can beat Forest on Monday.
Villa could lose their grip on sixth if Chelsea are able to beat west London rivals Fulham on Sunday.
But Enzo Maresca’s side would only be above them on goal difference.
