The last round in the English Premier League (EPL) will clarify several important issues.
Idman.Biz reports that the championship issue has already been resolved: "Arsenal" has become the winner of the season, while "Manchester City", "Manchester United", and "Aston Villa" have secured their places in the Champions League.
However, "Aston Villa"'s final position in the tournament table will determine how many teams from England will go to the Champions League.
If "Aston Villa" retains the fourth place, they will qualify for the Champions League through the Premier League, and an additional spot according to the UEFA ranking will be given to "Liverpool" in fifth place.
If the "Birmingham" club takes fifth place, they will go to the Champions League as the winner of the Europa League. In this case, an additional spot may go to "Bournemouth" or "Brighton" in sixth place.
"Manchester City" – "Aston Villa"
The central match of the round will be held at the "Etihad" stadium, where "Manchester City" will host "Aston Villa". For the home team, the season is practically over in terms of the championship battle, but for Unai Emery's team, this match is of great importance.
"Aston Villa" only needs not to lose to keep the fourth place. In case of defeat, the Birmingham representative will have to wait for the result of the "Liverpool" – "Brentford" match. If the Merseysiders win, "Liverpool" will catch up with "Aston Villa" in terms of points and overtake their opponent due to a better goal difference. It is in this case that England can be represented in the Champions League with six teams.
Let us add that this meeting will be Pep Guardiola's last match as the head coach of "Manchester City". For this reason, the "cityzens" will try to see off their coach in a worthy manner.
"Tottenham" – "Everton"
For "Tottenham", the last round has turned into a struggle to stay in the Premier League. The team will retain its place in the elite if it draws.
"West Ham" – "Leeds United"
"West Ham" can only stay in the Premier League by winning and waiting for "Tottenham" to lose.
