Arsenal have struggled to remain consistent in their form this season, but an improved run of form means they could make the top four and return to Champions League football.
Manchester United, West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur are also key contenders, as the drama continues to unfold.
As things stand, Antonio Conte’s Spurs are clinging onto the final Champions League spot, while Mikel Arteta’s Gunners may have to console himself with a Europa League place.
However, Arsenal still have two games in hand over their North London rivals, and as they are both on the same number of points, the Premier League top order may once again see a shift if Arteta’s men can prevail over Crystal Palace and Brighton.
David Moyes has been pushing for an improvement on West Ham’s 2021 sixth place finish, but he too may also find himself having to find solace in a Europa League qualifying position.
Brentford and Crystal Palace will hope they can hold onto their middle-order positions, however as Newcastle sit just two points behind the Bees with one game in hand, Thomas Frank will hope his side can repeat the glorious magic they spun at Stamford Bridge last Sunday when they beat the Blues 4-1 when they take on the Hammers and Watford.
While Chelsea can fight back from the shock loss and get over the line to assure another season Champions League football among Europe’s elite, Watford sit at the other end of the table with only a miracle likely to help them avoid relegation.
LondonWorld have taken a look, with the help of FiveThirtyEight, at how the final Premier League table is expected to look, according to the statisticians:

2. 19th: Watford (30 points)
It is clear that the three managers Watford have seen this season have disrupted play and have unsettled the Hornets. Despite ex-England manager Roy Hodgson coming into the picture, Watford are also set for a Championship return. | Getty Images
3. 18th: Burnley(33 points)
Burnley are unlikely to make it to a seventh consecutive season in the Premier League and have lost the past four out of five matches, drawing the fifth. The inconsistent and out of form team will likely end up in the Championship for 2022/23 | Getty Images
4. 17th: Everton (35 points)
The Toffees are expected to just about avoid relegation, despite a somewhat disastrous season. Everton will hope that the summer will allow Frank Lampard to rebuild this side for a more successful 2022/23 Premier League campaign. | Getty Images
