The English Premier League comes to a close on Sunday with five teams battling for three spots in the Champions League next season.

Manchester City, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are all fighting it out on the final day.

Chelsea will learn their fate against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Both sides are still able to qualify with Chelsea holding their fate in their own hands. The Blues currently occupy the fifth and final qualification spot and a win will guarantee qualification.

If Chelsea draw in Nottingham, Enzo Maresca's side will have to rely on other results. A draw would be enough if Aston Villa fail to beat Manchester United and/or Newcastle United lose to Everton.

Nottingham Forest are in seventh place and need a win over the Blues if they want to give themselves a chance of qualifying for Europe's elite club competition. Forest have to win and hope Aston Villa or Newcastle don't win.

If Chelsea lose to Nottingham Forest, their Champions League hopes would crumble if Aston Villa win at Manchester United.
