Five teams Manchester City, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest, are engaged in a tough competition for the last European qualifying slots as the 2024–25 Premier League season comes to an end today. Liverpool and Arsenal have already guaranteed their spots, so there will be a lot of high-stakes action in the final day’s matches.
With 68 points, Manchester City is in third position going into the last day. They would qualify for the UEFA Champions League if they defeated Fulham at Craven Cottage. This game is vital for Pep Guardiola’s team since a mistake may allow opponents to pass them.
Newcastle United, currently fourth with 66 points, faces Everton in their final fixture. A win would solidify their position in the top five, ensuring European football next season. The Magpies have shown resilience this season, notably securing their first domestic trophy in 70 years by winning the EFL Cup .Wikipedia
Chelsea, with 66 points as well, will go to Nottingham Forest. The Blues need to win in order to maintain their prospects of qualifying for the Champions League. Their destiny in Europe will depend on their performance today as well as outcomes elsewhere.
With 65 points, Aston Villa is only outside the top five. They must defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford and have other games go well in order to qualify for Europe. Villa has made great progress under Unai Emery, therefore today’s game is crucial to their goals.
In a straight-up race for European berths, Nottingham Forest, with 65 points, hosts Chelsea. In addition to improving their prospects, a win may push Chelsea out of the top five. Forest has gone from being a relegation contender to a contender for Europe thanks to their incredible season under Nuno EspÃrito Santo.
These five teams’ fates will be decided as the final whistle blows across stadiums today, capping one of the most fierce European qualifying battles in recent Premier League history.
