The Battle of the Premier League to the Champions League, European qualification

The Premier League receives four places in the Champions League, to go with the first three directly into the group stage, and entering the fourth, the last round of qualifying.

There are also three places in the Europa League -. Enter won fifth place in the league, and the winners of the FA Cup and Capital One Cup as the Manchester City and are almost certainly not less than six finish, this is instead transferred to the League.

And fifth place in the league (and winner of the FA Cup) go directly to the group stage, with the entry into sixth place in the third qualifying round. If Manchester United win the FA Cup and finish in the top six, while the seventh for the Europa League qualifying in the third qualifying round.

So far this season, only got Leicester City's place at the table for the first time, and be on the path of the seeds and six league champions and holders.

Here the English clubs in the race still to competition next season will qualify.

Tottenham Hotspur (2, 69 points)
Remaining games: Chelsea (a), Southampton (h), Newcastle (a)
99.99 percent: SPI likely to finish in the top four

Mauricio Pochettino men are almost sure the Champions League for the second time, which is to be secured once in 2010-11, when Harry Redknapp, they made the quarter-finals before 5-0 Real Madrid, losing the other side ,

Spurs need a a point to be sure his place.

Arsenal (3rd, 67 points)
Remaining games: Manchester City (a), Aston Villa (h)
99 percent: SPI likely to finish in the top four

The victory at home to Norwich means Arsenal now one of the favorites in the Champions League. Goal difference means in practice that need two points, and very low to qualify with a home game against Aston Villa on the last day, which should be no problem.

However, if you do not win, the Manchester City who might be nervous on the last day.

Manchester City (4; 64 points)
remaining games: Arsenal (h), Swansea (a)
83 percent: SPI likely to finish in the top four

The defeat to Southampton city was a kind of precarious situation. There is only one home game for the manager Manuel Pellegrini left - against Arsenal - and now it seems crucial to their hopes of a top four.

You need their remaining two games to win, to ensure that Pep Guardiola, who in the summer over from Pellegrini, the Champions League (through the League). So if they can be opened not the Gunners hit the door both Manchester United and West Ham.

It should also be noted that the city also qualify as a holder if they were to win the Champions League this season.

Manchester United (5th, 60 points)
Games remaining: Norwich (a), West Ham (a), Bournemouth (h), Crystal Palace (n)
11 percent: SPI likely to finish in the top four

It seems very likely that United will win all three games to have a realistic chance of a place in the Champions League, did not come out of the group stage this season.

First, they go to Carrow Road to a Norwich side to face, in defending the run, will be desperate in their relegation battle for victory on the floor of the house. The following is the United game in hand at West Ham before traveling to Bournemouth Old Trafford.

When Louis van Gaal wins its remaining three games and Manchester City Arsenal and United not guaranteed to make at least the fourth place.

West Ham United (6; 59 points)
remaining games: Swansea (h), Manchester United (h), Stoke (a)
7 percent: SPI likely to finish in the top four

Hammers certainly has the list of devices to get enough points at least to threaten the first four games with two faces side with nothing at stake and Manchester United towards east London for the last game ever Upton Park. You must beat Swansea, Manchester United and Stoke have real hope.

This game against Manchester United is a Champions League playoff all - if, that is, not to beat Manchester City Arsenal. City could be left with the hope that the two sides, which cancel each in this game. inferior goal difference to West Ham does not mean that Arsenal Manchester City to go over them with three victories must be guaranteed to hit.

Southampton (7, 57 points)
Games remaining: Tottenham (a), Crystal Palace (h)

Southampton can qualify for the Champions League, but are still looking for a place in the Europa League. If Manchester United seventh FA Cup win and then go in the third qualifying round of Europe, otherwise Southampton would take one of the aforementioned devices.

The trip to Tottenham is obviously difficult, but surely Palace players break St Mary before the final of the FA Cup against Manchester United.

Liverpool (8; 55 points)
Games remaining: Watford (h), Chelsea (h), West Brom (a)
0.00 percent: SPI likely to finish in the top four

Liverpool still has a mathematical chance of Champions to end City able on points with Manchester. Even then, their goal difference is much smaller.

So Liverpool is the Europa League win a return to the Champions League win. Otherwise, they will make their way in the first seven or miss European football together.

Remember that when Jürgen Klopp, the Europa League and Manchester City also won do in the Champions League, but also in the first four finishing, then to qualify fourth place in the Premier League for the Europa League.

Chelsea (10; 47 points)
Games remaining: Tottenham (h), Sunderland (a), Liverpool (h), Leicester (h)

Surprisingly, Chelsea still have a mathematical chance to qualify for the Europa League, but would win four games to have a chance to finish in seventh, and also have the Manchester United win the FA Cup.

Crystal Palace (16, 39 points)
Remaining game: Manchester United (n)

Way to Europe via the FA Cup, which go into the group stage of the Europa League to win. It is no longer a place for the national cup finalist if the winners qualify for another route.
