The Premier League race is over and relegation is determined, but the Battle for Champions League qualification remains wide open with two more rounds to go.
Only champions Liverpool are guaranteed to be one of the five places for the taking in the European top club competition next season and the second placed Arsenal look is almost certain to come to them.
But only four points separate Newcastle from Nottingham Forest in third place in seventh place.
AFP Sport chooses the most important points of talks prior to the promotion of the weekend in the English top flight.
Newcastle strive to jump Arsenal
Arsenal have been Liverpool's best challengers for the most part of the campaign and seemed to have second place locked a few weeks ago.
But a victory for Eddie How's Newcastle in the Emirates on Sunday would take the Magpies a point above the Gunners, who only won one of their last six league games.
Newcastle, on the other hand, has been floating since winning the League Cup final against Liverpool in mid-March and has since lost only once in eight league matches.
Sunday's 2-0 victory against Top-Vijf Rivals Chelsea was a huge step in the direction of Champions League qualification for the second time in three seasons.
“We still have two games to go and many turns that can be around the corner,” said Howe. “We have to drive ahead.”
The last match of Newcastle, on 25 May, is a home game against Everton, while Arsenal travels to Bottom Club Southampton.
Europe Final Focus A Bonus for Villa and Chelsea
Aston Villa and Chelsea have the chance to steal a march on their top five rivals, both in action on Friday, against Europa League finalists Tottenham and Manchester United.
Villa, who has maintained in recent weeks despite Champions League and FA Cup outputs in the competition, could finish the day in fourth place with a victory at home at Spurs.
But Chelsea, who also has 63 points, would go just behind the third place Newcastle if they win, thanks to a better target difference.
United and Spurs are just outside the relegation zone after terrible competition campaigns and their attention will be solved at next week's Europa League final, where their managers probably keep some players packed in cotton wool.
Villa's grim 1-0 win in Bournemouth in the weekend achieved a place in the European competition, but Emery's hunger to the Champions League was performed this season by a run to the quarterfinals.
UEFA Conference League finalists Chelsea could end the first season of Enzo Maresca at a peak with European silverware and a return to the Champions League after two seasons away.
Last chance of forest
Two-time European Champions Nottingham Forest is in the top four for most of the season, but have come across at the worst possible moment and are now outsiders to secure Champions League football.
The harmful 2-2 draw on Sunday with degraded Leicester was another huge blow to returning to the competition for the first time in more than four decades.
Forest Boss Nuno Espirito Santo does not give up hope, while he brings his team to Lowly West Ham on Sunday, with Chelsea to follow in the last game of the season.
“Let's see how things are going,” said the Portuguese manager, whose team has protected European football for next season. “We have to concentrate on West Ham …. I promise we will try it and we will never give up.”
Man City Eye Blooms End Season
Manchester City, currently fourth in the Premier League, had to reset their expectations after a bad campaign according to their towering standards.
Despite their surprise 0-0 draw at Southampton the previous time-out, they will probably end in the top five, with matches against Bournemouth and Fulham.
The men of Pep Guardiola only play in the Premier League in the Premier League on Tuesday, three days after they were confronted with Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final in Wembley.
“I had not expected anything else than a month ago, that it is a fight until the end,” said Guardiola, whose team was unable to make the five Premier League titles in a row.
