The end of the 2023/24 Premier League season is just one week away, and several twists are expected on the final day.

The Premier League has entered its final week and there are several spots undecided.

Arsenal and Manchester City are still locked in a fierce battle for the title, while there are subplots still developing all across the league.

Premier League title race

Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola

Manchester City are currently top with 85 points after 36 games, and Arsenal are second with 83 points.

Arsenal travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United on Sunday, and anything other than a win will make it very difficult for the Gunners to win their first league title since 2004.

Pep Guardiola's men have destiny in their own hands, and as long as they win their remaining two games, against Tottenham and West Ham, the title is theirs.

European qualification

Aston Villa are in pole position for Champions League football next season. Unai Emery's men are on 67 points, 4 points clear of Tottenham who host Manchester City on Tuesday night.

Newcastle, Chelsea, and Manchester United are all fighting for the Europa League and Conference League places.

Relegation battle

Sheffield United and Burnley have already been relegated.

Luton Town have a mathematical chance of staying up but the odds are firmly stacked against them.

There are in 18th, 3 points behind Nottingham Forest with a goal difference of -12.

This means they must beat Fulham handsomely on the final day and hope that Forest also suffers a heavy defeat to Burnley. Unlikely.
