Top-7 are set for next year

Champions League
-Both Liverpool & Manchester City have qualified for 2020-2021 UCL
-Manchester United, Chelsea & Leicester City are still in the hunt for the remaining two positions

Manchester United
--Manchester United would clinch top-4 with: Win/draw at Leicester OR Chelsea loss v. Wolves*
*Scenario assumes MU maintain GD advantage over Chelsea (MU: +28 / CHE: +13)

Chelsea
Chelsea would clinch top-4 with: Win/draw v. Wolves OR Loss v. Wolves AND Manchester United win at Leicester

Leicester City
Leicester would clinch top-4 with: Win v. Manchester United OR Draw v. Manchester United AND Chelsea loss v. Wolves

Europa League
-Currently the three teams in the UEL positions are Leicester City, Wolverhampton & Tottenham Hotspur

Wolverhampton
Wolves would clinch top-6 finish if: They better or equal Tottenham’s result

Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham would clinch top-6 finish if: They better Wolves’ results

-There is a wildcard: Chelsea face Arsenal for the FA Cup; if Arsenal wins, they qualify and 6th-place would get the League Cup berth.
