Premier League Champions League Top 5 Race LIVE: What each team needs to qualify?

Manchester City: Just 1 point will confirm UCL spot for them. Even if they lose, they will likely still make it due to a much better goal difference than Villa.

Newcastle United: A win will help them secure a UCL place. A draw will also do if Chelsea and Villa don’t win. If they lose and still want to qualify, then Villa must also go down.

Chelsea: A win will make UCL qualification very likely. A draw will leave them depending on other results. If they lose, their only hope is that both Villa and Newcastle also lose.

Aston Villa: They need a win and for at least one of Chelsea, Newcastle, or Manchester City to drop points. A draw or loss would leave them with only a slim chance or eliminate them entirely.

Nottingham Forest: Must win and hope other results go their way to have any chance of UCL qualification. They especially need Chelsea to drop points.
