There are only two rounds of Premier League matches staying as the clubs attempt and secure their spots in next season’s European competitions. Making sure about a place in the Champions League or Europa League carries impressive financial rewards to teams because of the related support cash and sponsorship helps.
Monday’s news that the Court of Arbitration for Sport had overturned the two-season boycott handed out to Manchester City by UEFA has left their adversaries scrambling, realizing that a fifth-place finish will never again be sufficient to make sure about Champions League football.
City will complete second this season, so they alongside champions Liverpool have ensured their place in next season’s Champions League.
Chelsea, Leicester City and Manchester United are the front runners, with Chelsea (as of now in third) requiring four points to make sure about their place, however they face precarious fixtures against Wolves and Liverpool in their staying two games.
Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester recorded a 2-0 win over Sheffield United on Thursday to remain above Manchester United, and should win their two outstanding matches to make certain of qualification.
They face United on the final day – and play away at Tottenham before that – yet that meeting with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side is probably going to decide their destiny.
Manchester United are in a similar circumstance and face West Ham before they meet the Foxes having succeeded at Crystal Palace on Thursday.
Chelsea, Leicester and Manchester United are guarenteed to make sure about Europa League football at the very least.

They can anyway qualify by winning the Europa League – a course additionally accessible to Manchester United.
Tottenham and Sheffield United are presently mathematically out of contention for a Champions League spot.
Be that as it may, we could yet confront the circumstance where just the top three qualify. Should two English sides win this present season’s Champions League and Europa, and finish outside the top four, they will qualify.
On the off chance that Leicester City and Manchester United completion in fourth and fifth, level on points, goal difference and goals scored, at that point it goes down to head-to-head record (considering in away goals). United won 1-0 at Old Trafford in September. Furthermore, if Leicester imitated that outcome with a success 1-0 on the final day then they would require a play-off to decide who completes fourth.
