Premier League title race
Arsenal remain in a strong position with 10 games left in the Premier League season, although they still have to play against Manchester City, Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea.
City will eagerly await their showdown against the Gunners at the Etihad Stadium on April 26, while United’s faint title hopes have likely faded after a 7-0 win at Liverpool was followed by a goalless draw at home to Southampton.

Champions League places, European places
The top four in the table automatically qualify for the next season Champions League group stage. Fifth place, along with the FA Cup winner, qualifies directly for the Europa League group stage.
With Manchester United winning the Carabao Cup and also on course to finish in the top four, that means Qualifying place for the Conference League awarded to the Carabao winners will (for now) be passed to the team ranked 6th in the Premier League table.
If Man City or Man United win the FA Cup, the Europa League group stage spot that comes with that trophy would move to 6th place, while the Conference League qualifying spot is downgraded to 7th place.
European locations:
- Champions League Bunks (4): Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham
- Places in the Europa League (2): Newcastle, FA Cup winners
- Conference League Qualifying Spot (1): Liverpool
