Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal chase final UCL places, with playoff possible

Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal will enter the final day of the Premier League season fighting for two spots in next year's Champions League.

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are already guaranteed of taking their places in the group stage draw, but there are still two places up for grabs. Third place enters directly into the group stage, fourth place must go through the Champions League playoff round. Fifth place settles for the Europa League.

Goal difference and goals scored will, as usual, be used to split any teams who are level on points -- but the Premier League could see its first-ever playoff if two teams finish with identical records of points, goals scored and goals conceded.
