With only two games remaining for both Tottenham and Chelsea, the race to make the top four will go down to the wire. These two London giants are competing for a spot in next season’s Champions League, with finalist Liverpool even in danger of missing out.
Only three points separate the fifth-placed Blues and Jurgen Klopp’s third-placed side, who have only one remaining match this season. Along with this comes exciting permutations. Here’s everything you need to know.
How can Chelsea make the Champions League?
Remaining games: vs Huddersfield (H), vs Newcastle (A)
Permutations: The odds are not in Chelsea’s favor, as they are two points behind fourth-placed Tottenham. The Blues must win their remaining two games and hope Spurs loses one of their matches or Liverpool drops points in their final tie.
How can Tottenham make the Champions League?
Remaining games: vs Newcastle (H), vs Leicester (H)
Permutations: Pochettino’s men must simply earn four points to guarantee their spot in Europe’s top-tier competition thanks to their +8 goal advantage. Win both games and they will leapfrog Liverpool into third regardless of the result of the Reds’ final game. Lose one of those two ties and Harry Kane and Co. could find themselves playing in the Europa League if Chelsea wins their next six points.
How can Liverpool make the Champions League?
Remaining game: Brighton (H)
Permutations: It's simple: beat Brighton on Sunday. That would guarantee them the third or fourth spot, depending on how Spurs and the Blues perform. Another route into the Champions League, albeit it is a last resort, is beating Real Madrid in the final in Kyiv.
