Five English Teams Fighting for Europe's Most Prestigious Competition

Due to the great success of English clubs in recent years, five teams are still in contention to qualify for Europe’s most prestigious competition through the English top-flight. In this article, we analyze the teams in contention and provide our predictions for who will make it to the Champions League next term.Teams in Contention: Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa
Although mathematically several more teams could qualify, there are seven teams realistically in the running for a top-five place in the Premier League this season. Liverpool and Arsenal are almost certain to secure their spots, leaving five teams to battle it out for the remaining three. Nottingham Forest currently sit in third place, but their form has dipped in recent times. Nuno Espirito Santos' side find themselves in the FA Cup semifinals, so they will need to balance their competing priorities. Manchester City, who currently sit in fourth place, have had a below-par season by their usual standards. However, they are still in a strong position to salvage their campaign by retaining a Champions League spot ahead of next term. Chelsea, who sit in fifth place, rely heavily on the form of their English superstar, Cole Palmer. The Blues will need him to be in fine form for the remainder of the campaign if they want to be playing in the Champions League next term. Newcastle United have had a strong campaign thus far, having already picked up silverware in the Carabao Cup. Eddie Howe’s side will top off an excellent campaign if they can climb the table and slip into the top five late on. The final team we believe are in contention is Aston Villa, who are currently in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and the semi-finals of the FA Cup. With the loan signings of Marcus Rashford and Marcus Asensio starting to pick up form, this could be the difference if they do climb into a Champions League spot.Key Fixtures: Aston Villa vs. Newcastle United, Manchester City vs. Aston Villa, Newcastle United vs. Chelsea, and Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea
