Championship Sunday is upon us. Despite the consensus of the league, the title is coming down to the final day. Arsenal may need a miracle, but Mikel Arteta’s side is still in the running for a title and a chance to dethrone Manchester City. The more intriguing focus is on the race for Europe. Aston Villa has already secured the final spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester United all have a chance to reach either the Europa League or Europa Conference League next season.
With 10 simultaneous kickoffs, the Premier League always finishes with a bang. Fans will have eyes on each game to see how it affects other clubs. One goal across the country could have ramifications for one team’s hopes. That is nowhere more serious than Arsenal’s hopes of ending its title drought. While the Gunners play Everton at the Emirates, Manchester City hosts West Ham United at the Etihad. Arsenal needs a win, and it needs Manchester City to drop points. A loss or even a draw, based on Arsenal’s superior goal differential, would be enough for Arsenal should it win.
The scenarios for the teams involving European qualification are convoluted, and there is still significant change that can happen. That does not factor in the FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Manchester United. If United wins, it earns a spot in the Europa League. If Manchester City wins, the Premier League gets an additional spot in the Europa League.
The relegation race is all but finalized. Sheffield United and Burnley are mathematically eliminated from the Premier League. The last of the three teams to come up this season, Luton Town, needs a miracle to stay up. Luton must win while Nottingham Forest loses. Additionally, Luton Town must make up a 12-goal differential in the table with Forest, which is wildly unlikely to happen.
