Five clubs chase three Champions League spots in Premier League finale

The title race is long over and there is no last-day battle for survival but the Premier League season is still set for a thrilling climax on Sunday with five clubs - separated by three points - vying for the three remaining Champions League spots.

Champions Liverpool and Arsenal are the only teams guaranteed a top-five finish.

With Arsenal all-but assured of runners-up spot, that leaves Manchester City (68 points), Newcastle United, Chelsea, Aston Villa (all 66 points) and Nottingham Forest (65 points) battling it out for three places.

Tottenham Hotspur also secured a Champions League spot after beating Manchester United in the Europa League final, so six English clubs will compete in Europe's elite competition next season.

HOW ARE EUROPEAN SPOTS USUALLY DECIDED?

Typically, only the top four teams qualify for the Champions League but England and Spain earned five spots for next season based on the performances of their clubs across the European tournaments.

With the top-five teams qualifying for the Champions League, the sixth-placed side will now play in the Europa League, with the other spot in Europe's second-tier competition going to FA Cup winners Crystal Palace.

League Cup winners Newcastle qualify for the Conference League, but if they finish in the top five, that spot is handed down.

WHO ARE THE TEAMS PLAYING ON THE FINAL DAY?

* Fulham v Manchester City

* Nottingham Forest v Chelsea

* Manchester United v Aston Villa

* Newcastle United v Everton

* Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion

* Wolverhampton Wanderers v Brentford

With Forest playing Chelsea, one or both teams are guaranteed to drop points.
