Which Premier League teams can still qualify for the Champions League? 04.05.2026

Manchester United's 3-2 win over Liverpool confirmed their return to the UEFA Champions League after two years, joining Arsenal and Manchester City as already qualified teams. With two spots remaining, Liverpool and Aston Villa are tied at 58 points from 35 games, Liverpool fourth on goal difference. Both need a point to qualify if Bournemouth loses or draws their next game, but four points if Bournemouth wins. A sixth English team could qualify via the European Performance Spot if Villa wins the Europa League and finishes fifth; otherwise, fifth place secures the spot. Bournemouth, sixth with 52 points, must win at least two of their final three matches and hope for slips from Liverpool or Villa. Other contenders like Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea, and Everton have mathematical but unlikely chances due to point gaps and form.
