The Battle for Champions League Place


Liverpool have Champions League qualification in their own hands and know that a win over already relegated Middlesbrough will guarantee them a top-four finish. There is the possibility that two of Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool will have to take part in a play-off to decide the final Champions League places.

 The following scenarios would require a 39th Premier League game: 

Scenario 1. Man City vs Liverpool play-off for 3rd
Man City would have to play out a high-scoring draw with Middlesbrough while Liverpool would have to thrash Middlesbrough at Anfield for the two teams to meet in a match to decide which team would need to enter the Champions League qualification rounds and which would progress straight to the group stages.

Scenario 2. Man City vs Arsenal play-off for 4th
If Man City were to lose 4-0 to Watford and Arsenal were to edge home in a 1-0 win over Everton at Emirates, then the two teams would need to meet to decide the final Champions League spot - assuming Liverpool manage to beat Middlesbrough. 

Scenario 3. Arsenal vs Man City play-off for 4th
If Arsenal draw 1-1 with Everton and Liverpool lose 2-0 to Middlesbrough, this is how they would finish tied for fourth
