Manchester City was crowned champion in the Premier League without playing and achieved a three-time championship that was much more fought over. After Matchday 37 ends, there is only 1 date left and up to 6 teams are fighting for 4 places in the international cups.
Newcastle, third, will play this Monday against a much-needed Leicester, who is fighting not to be relegated and is very complicated. The Magpies only need 1 point to ensure their qualification for the next Champions League, while the Foxes are 3 points behind Everton, 17th, and who they have to take the position from if they want to stay in the first division.
A goal by Roberto Firmino almost on the hour gave Liverpool a draw against Aston Villa (1-1) that allows them to stay alive in the fight for the Champions League, but they need to beat Southampton in the last game and wait for United or Newcastle to lose both. Firmino said goodbye to Anfield with a goal, since he will leave at the end of the season.
On the side of the Villains, they lost a great opportunity and are in seventh place, earning their place in the Conference League, but to go to the Europa League they must beat Brighton and hope that the Seagulls do not tie or win with Manchester City in the last match.
On the other hand, at the bottom of the table, Southampton is already relegated and between Leicester, Leeds United, and Everton they will be fighting to see who is going to stay in the first division.
Everton drew with Wolverhampton 1-1 and is in 17th place with 33 points; Leeds United lost on their visit to West Ham 3-1 and is 18th with 31 points; while Leicester, who plays this Monday against Newcastle, is 19th with 30 points. They all play at home on the last day.

Manchester City came out on Sunday to play Chelsea as champions after Arsenal lost a day earlier to Nottingham Forest. Pep Guardiola’s team ended a great week like this, since a few days before they had advanced to the Champions League final after crushing Real Madrid.
The Citizens played this Sunday with a majority of substitutes, but they still won 1-0 with a goal from Julián Álvarez and said goodbye to their fans by playing the last game this season at the Etihad Stadium. The Blues, for their part, continue to fall in the table and are already 12th.

Where Can I Watch?
As we said, Arsenal lost on their visit to Nottingham Forest, who saved themselves with those 3 points and will be in the Premier League next season. It was a great battle for the title but the ‘Gunners’ faltered towards the end, achieving only 9 points from the last 24, losing their last 2 games. It was 1-0 with a goal from Taiwo Awoniyi that gave his team peace of mind to start preparing for the 2023/2024 season.
Without a doubt, it was a great tournament for Mikel Arteta’s team, whose goal was to return to the Champions League and managed to fight for the title against possibly the best Manchester City in history until the last few games.

Tottenham is very close to ending a terrible season. This weekend they lost at home to Brentford 1-3 and dropped to eighth place with one point less than Aston Villa, missing out on any European Cup. They must beat Leeds and hope the Villains don’t win.
For its part, Brentford continues with its European dream and has its last life left. Thanks to goals from Bryan Mbeumo (2) and Yoane Wissa, they beat the Spurs and still have a chance of qualifying for the Conference League, but they will have to beat the champion, Manchester City, and hope that Aston Villa and Tottenham don’t win.
