The Premier League top-four race is heating up as teams in the top half of the table jockey for position with just six games remaining.
Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Newcastle United and even Fulham and Brighton are still contending for some sort of European tournament next season. Liverpool are closing in on the Premier League title while it seems Arsenal will finish runners-up for a third-consecutive season.
Here's a look at the next five fixtures for the teams battling for top four in England's top flight league after matchweek 32.
Here's the next five league games for the teams in the Premier League top-five race.
Nottingham Forest have a favorable run in, but need to bounce back after losing to Everton at home. The addition of a fifth spot should make Nottingham Forest a favorite to qualify for Europe's most prestigious competition.
Newcastle United look like a massive threat and favorite to qualify for the Champions League, especially with their game in hand. It would be the perfect cherry on top after winning the Carabao Cup.
Pep Guardiola is solely focused on qualifying for the Champions League and winning the FA Cup. They're a heavy favorite to do so even without Erling Haaland.
Chelsea suffered another draw, this time to Ipswich Town. They face Fulham, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Manchester United in their next five games. Some tough matches.
If Aston Villa go out of the Champions League against PSG, they'll need to put their full focus into qualification and making the FA Cup final.
Fulham are back in the mix after inflicting only the second defeat to runaway leaders Liverpool. Especially so if they beat Bournemouth on Monday with their game in hand.
Brighton are six points out of the top five, so they need to start stringing results together the rest of the way. They'll also need some help from other teams above them as well. Games to watch out for include Newcastle United and Liverpool at Amex Stadium.
