In the early morning of May 21, all the matches in the 37th round of the Premier League ended. With Manchester City defeating Bournemouth 3-1, the Champions League competition in the Premier League standings became more intense; in the last round of the league this weekend, Newcastle, Chelsea, Manchester City, Villa, and Nottingham Forest will start their final back-to-back battle for the last three Champions League seats.

Liverpool won the Premier League championship four rounds early, Arsenal locked in the runner-up in the last round and won three consecutive runs. Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich returned to the Championship together, and the competition for Champions League seats naturally became the only focus of the Premier League this season. Thanks to his stable performance in European competitions in recent years, the Premier League has won the fifth place this season, and the competition for four has become a fifth place. Although he lost the FA Cup final, Manchester City still withstood the pressure and won Bournemouth 3:1 with the three swords of Marmush, B and Nico Gonzalez.

After this game, Manchester City, currently ranked third with 68 points, has the best situation. They not only lead Newcastle, 4th, by 2 points, but also have many goals difference advantages. As long as the Blue Moon does not lose to Fulham in the away game in the last round, they are likely to be in the top five. Newcastle, ranked 4th, has 66 points. Since winning the League Cup, the Magpie won 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the next nine rounds of the league. In the last round, the Magpie's opponent was Everton, who had no desires and no desires. In addition, he played at home. Newcastle, who had the initiative, had a great probability of returning to the Champions League after a year.

Chelsea, like Villa, has 66 points, and Villa's last round opponent is Manchester United; the Red Devils need to play in the UEFA Cup final in the early morning of tomorrow, and the Red Devils have already made a bad run; and there is no winning record in the last 8 rounds of the Premier League, no matter whether they can win the Europa League final, it is probably difficult to stop Villa's determination to enter the Champions League.

In comparison, Chelsea's opponent is the most difficult. The Blues' last round opponent will be Nottingham Forest, which is also the only matchup that directly competes for four. Although Forest is ranked 7th with 65 points, it is only 1 point away from the Champions League. Chelsea will definitely advance to the Champions League after winning. The same is true for Forest. If the draw is drawn, both sides may miss the Champions League collectively. The final rounds of the Premier League this season will start at 23:00 on May 25, and the final ranking of the Premier League will also be determined.
