The race to qualify for the Champions League this season is in full swing. Up to six teams are still fighting for the remaining two places. Manchester United’s position is pretty secure with a gap of 11 points between them and the Europa League spots.
Premier League champions Liverpool are close to qualifying for the Champions League after beating Arsenal 3-0 on Saturday.
The Reds entered the league last year but are now three points below the top four in sixth place.
A terrible series of results has put them in the top four, but with a Champions League quarter-final on the way, they still have an exciting end to the campaign ahead of them.
Liverpool have a fairly cheap entry point but will have to travel to runner-up United on May 1st in the toughest game by the end of the season.
