Newcastle United

Eddie Howe’s men are third with 65 points and have four games left against Leeds, Leicester City, Brighton and Chelsea on the season's final day.

The game against Brighton could prove difficult, but the remaining three games should see the Toons pick up maximum nine points, which would be enough to secure the top four, according to Newcastle World.

Manchester United

Erik Ten Hag’s men failed to capitalise on Newcastle’s loss moments before their game. They are on 63 points with four games left against Bournemouth, Wolves, Chelsea and Fulham.

According to Sun UK, they all look beatable for United, who once looked to be in contention for the title, but their recent dismal form makes the games look like they could go either way.

Liverpool

The Reds looked like they would settle for a place outside of European places, but a turnaround in performance has seen them become Champions League hopefuls.

They are on 62 games with three games left to play against Leicester City and Aston Villa, and will finish the season at Southampton, who could already be relegated before the final day.

Tottenham

The North Londoners have sacked Antonio Conte and replaced him with his assistant Cristian Stellini, who was also sacked and replaced with Ryan Mason.

57 points and three games left against Aston Villa, Brentford and a final day away at Leeds, who are battling relegation, makes it highly slim for them to be in the Champions League next season.

Brighton

The Seagulls have found a new lease on life under Roberto De Zerbi, who replaced Graham Potter when Chelsea called for the English manager. They have the most significant advantage in the race, with six games left and 55 points.

Everton, Arsenal, Newcastle, Southampton, Manchester City and Aston Villa are challenging games, but you have to beat the best to be among the best.
