The race for the TOP FOUR

3rd MAN CITY P37 GD36 Pts75

Victory at Watford will confirm third place outright while a point will book a top-four spot. If they lose and the other two win, they need to better Arsenal’s goal difference to stay in the top four.

4th LIVERPOOL P37 GD33 Pts73

Jurgen Klopp’s men need to beat relegated Middlesbrough at Anfield to guarantee a top-four finish. That could be enough to clinch third place if City slip up at Watford.

5th ARSENAL P37 GD31 Pts72

They have to beat Everton at home and hope Liverpool don’t win, or City lose with a five-goal swing.

Third or fourth place could be decided by a play-off for the first time in Premier League history, if two sides finish with identical records — points, goal difference and goals scored.

1. ARSENAL v LIVERPOOL (fourth-place play-off)

Arsenal and Liverpool would finish joint-fourth should Liverpool lose 2-0 at home to Middlesbrough and Arsenal draw 1-1 with Everton. They would also finish level should Liverpool lose 3-1 and Arsenal draw 2-2, and so on.

2. LIVERPOOL v MANCHESTER CITY (third-place play-off)

Liverpool and Manchester City would finish joint-third should Manchester City draw 3-3 with Watford and Liverpool beat Middlesbrough 3-0. They would also finish level, for instance, should City draw 4-4 and Liverpool win by a score of 4-1, and so on.

3. ARSENAL v MANCHESTER CITY (fourth-place play-off)

Arsenal and Manchester City would finish joint-fourth should Arsenal beat Everton 1-0, Manchester City lose 4-0 at Watford, and Liverpool beat Middlesbrough. They would also finish level should Arsenal win 2-1 and City lost 5-1, and so on.
