The Champions League qualifier match will reach an epic conclusion on the last day next Sunday.
Premier League champion Liverpool And the second arsenal Champions League football has been guaranteed.
But after Sunday's results, now there is only one point separated Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest In the seventh.
even Manchester City Despite defeating Bournemouth this time, it is not sure to be in the top five.
All this was set up for the last day's sensation Sky movementNewcastle plays Everton, and Aston Villa heads to Old Trafford to face Manchester United and Guardiola's side in Fulham.
Manchester City - 68 points, goal difference + 26
The remaining fixtures: Fulham vs. Man City
Manchester City were almost there after defeating Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
That said, the last day's defeat at Fulham would make them vulnerable: If City loses at Craven Cabin and Newcastle, Villa and Chelsea, Guardiola's side will fall from third to sixth. (Forest will keep pace with City if Fulham wins and Forest beats Chelsea, but the goal difference is too big to finish the game on the city).
So there is still a point.
Even a point of view cannot guarantee a top five berth mathematically - but given that Villa's goal difference is so huge, it's totally impossible.
Manchester City's goal difference advantage is not that important compared to Chelsea and Newcastle, but is still meaty enough to mean it should be enough to finish third.
Second place remains a mathematical possibility for Manchester City, but very unrealistic: A little bit of Arsenal in Southampton will claim to be the runner-up position, even in the Gunners' shock, City will have about six clubs, both of which can score 71 out of 71 points.
Newcastle's remaining fixtures - 66 points, target difference + 22
The remaining fixtures: Newcastle and Everton
With every Champions League result this weekend with Newcastle, Eddie Howe's team is now on a huge mission to Everton on the last day - and probably without Alexander Isak.
If Aston Villa fails to win and Forests vs. Chelsea don't end the draw, then the draw will only have enough goal difference.
So, most importantly, with four teams within their position, Newcastle can only consider a final day victory enough to book a spot in the Champions League.
Chelsea - 66 points, goal difference + 20
The remaining fixtures: Nottingham Forest and Chelsea, living in the sky sports
Since their goal difference is much better than Villa's, Chelsea will be eligible for the Champions League if they win the game between Bivila and Forest on Sunday.
The draw is only sufficient if Newcastle is beaten by multiple goals or Villa fails to win at Manchester United.
As Forest wins will automatically beat Chelsea to sixth or lower, the defeat will be the top five terminal.
Aston Villa - 66 points, goal difference + 9
The remaining fixtures: Man United vs Aston Villa
Mathematically speaking, Manchester United's draw will be enough to allow Villa to finish Newcastle in fifth place, and Forest can also end with a tie against Chelsea.
But, like Chelsea above, it's very likely that Villa would have to win the game on the last day to make the top five.
Even then, with Villa only having a goal difference of nine out of nine, if Newcastle and Chelsea also win and Manchester City, then a win at Old Trafford would not be enough.
Nottingham Forest - 65 points, goal difference + 13
The remaining fixtures: Nottingham Forest and Chelsea, living in the sky sports
The Forest of Promising, but to surpass the two teams above them and get the minimum requirement in the top five is to beat Chelsea on the last day.
Indeed, they could still pass the draw with one of three teams with 66 points, but in this case they were almost certain to have a goal difference of 67 points against Chelsea, sixth below Newcastle.
So there is only victory on the last day, and even then, Forest (with 68 points if it wins) must hope Villa doesn't win at United (with 66 or 67), or Newcastle doesn't beat Everton (which will also leave Newcastle with 66 or 67).
See you on Sunday.
