Five teams, three places, one competition to go.
Only three points separate the parties to seal a place in the Champions League of next season.
Manchester City could still slip out of the fight. Newcastle and Aston Villa have fate in their own hands.
Nottingham Forest and Chelsea are set for an epic confrontation on the city.
It promises to be a last day of frenzy, but who will make it and who will miss?
Mail Sport runs the rule about the teams in the mix to predict who is set for a place at the top table of European football.
3rd. Manchester City (68 points, +26 GD)
Opponent: Fulham (A)
Form (most recent last): wwwdw
What they need: a point at Fulham should be enough to secure a top five finish because of their enormously superior target difference about Aston Villa. If they lose and Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa all win, City will miss it.
Analysis: Can Kevin De Bruyne produce his magic one last time? Can erling gaaland find shooting if it matters?
Haaland did not score in his three games since his return and only collected five shots – only two on goal – despite a healthy number of touches in the box. He has never been shot like that.
It is still six victories for City, but they cannot consider Fulham for granted, even if they go in front. Only Liverpool has earned more points this season by losing positions. Their victory against Brentford was their fifth after staying behind during the break, equal to a Premier League record. Fulham has also established this campaign a new Premier League record with 17 goals from the replacements of Marco Silva.
It helps when you have won each of your last 17 meetings with Fulham and enjoy the longest winning run that one English competition side has had against another in history, but with Haaland Misfiring and the hosts who have won five of their nine games against these top five-hunting teams, this suddenly feels more difficult than expected.
Prediction: Drawing
4th. Newcastle United (66pts, +22 GD)
Opponent: Everton (H)
Form: LWDWL
What they need: a victory will secure the place of Newcastle in the Champions League. A draw can be enough, but they need villa not to win at Old Trafford or Forest against Chelsea to end in a draw. A villa defeat sees them qualifying, regardless of.
Analysis: Alexander Isak has 'a chance' to return from a groin injury to Everton, said Eddie Howe this week. How their own opportunities to reach the Champions League can depend on it.
Isak is not just a finisher, he is crucial for how Newcastle plays and presses. Only tireless Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke has put pressure on an opponent more times in the last third part this season, while no other out-and-out striker has created more opportunities for a teammate.
They miss him when he's not there. Newcastle did not succeed in winning all four of the league games that he missed this season, including a draw with the opponents Everton of Sunday. The Magpies have only won four of the 12 that he has not started since the start of the last term.
Newcastle will probably need him if they want to break down an Everton side that has admitted the lowest XG outside Chelsea, City and Arsenal since February.
Prediction: when Isak starts, Newcastle wins
5th. Chelsea (66pts, +20 GD)
Opponent: Nottingham Forest (A)
Form: wwwlw
What they need: a victory in Nottingham Forest secures Champions League football. A draw would be enough if Aston Villa did not win and Newcastle loses. Chelsea can still lose and make it, but would need Villa to lose and a defeat in Newcastle that is at least three goals that is heavier than their own.
Analysis: A frustrated Enzo Maresca claimed this week that if you look at the figures for creating opportunities, Chelsea already 'did' enough to secure a place in the top five. Not if you don't finish them, you don't have. The lack of ruthlessness of Chelsea is why their fate has come down to this.
The men of Maresca have created more great opportunities, more shots on goal and have collected a higher expected goals (XG) than anyone else. But among their rivals for the top five they have missed more great opportunities than anyone else and they have the worst shot conversion rate. They cannot afford to be the case on Sunday, especially in an unbridled city ground with a striker with a scoring record as remarkable as Chris Wood leading the line for forest.
The loss of Nicolas Jackson, their second top scorer who has a higher shot conversion rate that Palmer, can seriously influence it as when he was sent to Newcastle.
Prediction: Chelsea loses
6th. Aston Villa (66pts, +9 GD)
Opponent: Manchester United (A)
Form: Wlwww
What they need: a victory will be sufficient if Newcastle or Chelsea is droppoints or if the city loses. If they draw, they need Newcastle to lose.
Analysis: who thought that a trip to Old Trafford on the last day of a season, knowing that you should win would feel like such a gimme. Not only because Manchester United, but more deflated after their gloomy show in the Europa League final, is so bad, but because Aston Villa is the in-form team of the Premier League.
Since March, no side has won so many Premier League matches (8), earned more points (24), gave fewer goals (4) or held as many clean sheets (6) as Emery's side.
Their only defeats at the time came against Champions League finalists Paris Saint-Germain, FA Cup finalists Man City and winners Crystal Palace.
Villa has only won one of their last 26 last games from a season away from home, for the last time against Chelsea in 2001-02, and only two of their last 29 games at Old Trafford, but this is a united side that is about to lose four games in a row for the first time since the 1970s.
Prediction: Villa Win
7th. Nottingham Forest (65pts, +13 GD)
Opponent: Chelsea (H)
Form: Wlddw
What they need: only a victory will do for the men of Nuno Espirito Santo and even then they need Villa or Newcastle to drop points. Their target difference is a pity that a draw is sufficient.
Analysis: 'Another,' Bostalisman Morgan Gibbs-White roared to the fans after their victory in West Ham brought their fate to the last day. Another game to try to write history.
The recent figures from Forest are by far the worst of their rivals. In their last seven games: the least goals, the most admitted, least shots, most confronted, lowest XG, highly admitted. Their over performance for the goal has returned to the average. All this indicates a Chelsea victory.
The side of Maresca, however, could play well in the hands of the forest. Only Liverpool and City on average possess more in competitions this season. No side loves the suckling pressure and jump against a forest.
Only Southampton has made more mistakes that lead to goals and shots than Chelsea this period. Are forest in the oven of the city area ready to take advantage? I think they might.
Prediction: forest gain
Those results mean that Manchester City is sticking to a place in the Champions League, even though three of the teams among them win.
The side of Pep Guardiola is accompanied by Newcastle and Aston Villa.
However, it is extra heartache for Nottingham Forest who wins a victory on the last day, but it still leaves them a place in the top five while Chelsea is also wrong.
