As the 2024/2025 Premier League season reaches its climactic final day this Sunday, the Opta supercomputer has released predictions for the teams expected to secure the remaining Champions League spots.

Liverpool and Arsenal have already confirmed their positions as champions and runners-up respectively, automatically qualifying for next season's Champions League. Tottenham Hotspur also secured their place in Europe's elite competition after defeating Manchester United in Wednesday's Europa League final.

This leaves three Champions League qualification spots still available through league placement, with five teams battling for these coveted positions on the final day.

Manchester City Heavily Favored

Currently sitting third in the table, Manchester City travel to Fulham with the Opta supercomputer giving them a commanding 96.92% chance of finishing in the top five. The former champions need only a draw to virtually guarantee their qualification.

Newcastle United occupy fourth position and have been given an 82.73% probability of maintaining their top-five status. A win at home against Everton should be sufficient for the Magpies to secure Champions League football next season.

Chelsea's Crucial Clash

Chelsea face a potentially decisive encounter away at fellow top-five contenders Nottingham Forest. The Blues have been assigned a 57.41% chance of achieving their European ambitions. A victory would guarantee their qualification due to their superior goal difference, while a draw might suffice depending on other results.

The final day promises high drama across multiple venues as these teams fight for the financial windfall and prestige that comes with Champions League qualification.

Football fans across Nigeria and beyond will be watching closely as the Premier League season concludes with these crucial fixtures determining which English clubs will represent the country in Europe's premier club competition next season.
