Champions League qualification

The race for Champions League qualification is more competitive than ever with five Premier League teams guaranteed qualification, but which clubs are in the mix?

The race for the top five is tight, as only three points separate Nottingham Forest in third and Aston Villa in seventh, with five more game weeks left.

Liverpool have already wrapped up Champions League football for next season mathematically and Arsenal look all but certain to join them with a nine-point buffer over fifth spot.
