The chasing pack all need a win this week-end to keep their hopes alive. With the top two teams involved in the Champions League semi-final, the four chasing teams could close the gap. Actually three of them could close the gap as Birmingham and Arsenal will play each other at Solihull Moors.
Any of the four chasing teams that does not win this week-end will be probably out of the Champions League race, although it won’t be mathematically confirmed until potentially the 3rd of May for Reading and the 9th of May for Liverpool and Birmingham.
Chelsea and Manchester City have really 90% chances of Champions League qualification. 38 points should seal the deal imo so Chelsea probably need two wins in four and Manchester City three wins in five.
