Take a look at the state of play in the Premier League, Football League and beyond as this season nears the finish line

The title race

Manchester City (95) will secure back-to-back titles if they win at Brighton. Liverpool (94) have to beat Wolves at home and hope for a final City slip-up – if they fail to win, City will win the title regardless.

Final day fixtures

The top four

Chelsea (71pts) secured a top-four finish with victory over Watford, while Tottenham (70pts) need a draw at home to Everton to make sure – although Arsenal (67pts) need a win, a Spurs defeat and an eight-goal swing to steal fourth. The Gunners can still get into the Champions League if they win the Europa League.
