EPL: Tottenham, Chelsea, Man Utd to fight for Europa, Conference League spots

On the season's last day, four Premier League teams will compete for a spot in Europe.


Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa have all qualified for next season's Champions League.

However, Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Manchester United are vying for European status.

United defeated Newcastle 3-2 on Wednesday night, while Chelsea triumphed 2-1 at Brighton.


Spurs now rank fifth (63 points), Chelsea sixth (60), Newcastle seventh (57), and United eighth (57).


If Manchester City wins the FA Cup, the fifth and sixth-placed teams will qualify for the Europa League.

In that case, seventh would join the Conference League.

However, if United wins the FA Cup, they will qualify for both the Europa League and team finishing fifth.
In that scenario, the side in sixth would play in the Conference League and the side in seventh would miss out on Europe.

However, if United finish sixth and win the FA Cup, the Conference League slot will be given to the team that finishes seventh.



Manchester United play away at Brighton on the final day of the season, Chelsea host Bournemouth, Spurs travel to Sheffield United, and Newcastle face Brentford.
