As we enter the end of the business of the Premier League season, there is only one race on which fans are watching.
With the battle of relegation, but Liverpool at a touching distance from the title of the League – all the attention turned to the race for a place in the Champions League.
Currenty, there are five teams – Chelsea, Man City, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa – Fighting to get a place in the competition next season.
With Liverpool and Arsenal likely to qualify, only three places remain for the aforementioned teams to argue – fifth place, also gaining a place in the competition.
In the current state of things, Man City, Forest and Newcastle are all ready to get a place in the Champions League-but will it remain like this?
Here, Mail Sport writers offer their predictions that will end in the top five.

When you look at the entries, you can plead in case of non-perceive a single game.
While City played more than the others, maximum transport of a list of wolves, Southampton, Bournemouth and Fulham is not an unreasonable request and the late winner last night can propel them to the line.
For me, it’s as they are, with City finishing 71 in front of Forest (69) and Newcastle (68). Chelsea and Villa both end on 65 with the difference in goals from the western London team putting them sixth.

In such a tight race, the quality of the coaches can make the difference and the continuous absence of Eddie Howe of the Newcastle canoe can be a key factor in this race.
Manchester City has the simplest and their victory over Aston Villa Tuesday felt decisive. Do not accelerate the villa, however: they have taken an amazing form under the united Emery and are able to win all their remaining matches.
Just when Forest seemed to be lacking in essence, Nuno’s men delivered a crucial victory to Tottenham and like City, they have a favorable break -in and the unity to overcome them.

Chelsea had a bad stay, with Liverpool to play as well as trips outside in Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
The resurgence of Manchester City, with four six victories, should see them above the line, it is now given comfortable lights and none of the first to meet.
Forest should probably have enough to obtain qualifications, attacking the lights with Brentford, West Ham and Leicester before Chelsea on the last day.
Before last weekend, you would say that Newcastle was certifications, but it will be interesting to see how they react to this reverse at Villa, which in turn needs results elsewhere to go their way now.

City is on a momentum at the end of a difficult season and could easily win all their remaining games.
I support the Pep Guardiola team to keep the third with the help of a better difference in goals, despite a match more than most of their rivals.
The Forest run-in should allow them to claim fourth ahead of Newcastle, which will rebound on Saturday’s defeat against Aston Villa and Batra Ipswich but will have a difficult set of matches.
Not as hard as Chelsea who risks going to the seventh, with Villa finishing sixth because of their difference in lower goals and only four more games.

City’s late winner against Villa changes everything. Their favorable break -in makes them go through the line while villa has a difference in lower goals in addition to a deficit of points.
Chelsea crossed their oscillation and I want them to obtain results in Newcastle and Forest in the remaining six points.
I fear for Newcastle with Forest a point in front of them. Nuno’s men can compete on their home derby against Leicester.

I may go against the grain here, but I think that the victory at Tottenham Hotspur ruled the Nottingham forest for this race.
The Nuno Espírito Santo team does not play a superior team before facing Chelsea on the last day, while Manchester City has two gifts in their last four, at home against Wolves and Southampton.
Chelsea must face a revival Everton, go to Anfield to play Champions Elected Liverpool, go to Newcastle and go to Nottingham Forest on the last day. I don’t trust them when the pressure is composed.

City seems to be above the worst. Only four to play, but all won and even if the wolves are in great form 10 points should be sufficient to win the third. I expect Newcastle to pursue them, with three in five home games and no distraction.
I take the forest to have just enough to keep the villa away even if their shape is not what it was.
Chelsea’s race looks the most difficult and they continue to flout and although they have five to play, there will be a time when they will focus on Europe …

It depends on the young Chelsea team that cultivated cojones and extracts the results of the big games that remain.
They still have to face Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, remember, so their fate of the Champions League is in hand, really, even if these lights are far from their home.
I realize that almost no one gives them a chance, but they have been in the running all season and can always secure their target.

The momentum seems to be back with Manchester City and, with favorable devices, they could win all their remaining matches.
Despite being beaten at Aston Villa, I expect Newcastle to come back to train in the run-in and they have three home games that they should win.
The list of Forest elements is also relatively nice, which should see them picked up enough points to enter the top five.
I think Villa will work Forest Close but will miss, while Chelsea will be seventh since they will have to welcome Liverpool and visit the rivals of the first five rivals Newcastle and Forest.
