Premier League: Champions League Qualification Battle Set for Dramatic Final Day

Loading player...
The race for UEFA Champions League qualification is going down to the wire in the Premier League, with just one matchday left to decide which clubs will join Europe’s elite next season.

As it stands, only two of the four available Champions League spots have been secured. Liverpool were the first to book their place weeks ago, and Arsenal have now officially joined them following a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Newcastle United on Sunday. The decisive moment came courtesy of a spectacular long-range strike from Declan Rice, whose goal ensured the Gunners will return to Europe's top competition next season.

With two spots still up for grabs and several clubs in close contention, the final day promises to deliver high-stakes drama and potentially season-defining moments. Tune into Hit the Target, powered by Hollywoodbets, as we unpack the final round of fixtures!
