The latest Premier League standings: Manchester City is basically ashore in the top three, 4 teams compete for 2 Champions League qualifications to end the game

In the early morning of May 21, the 37th round of the 2024/25 Premier League season ended the last round of the competition. Manchester City, who previously ranked 6th, beat visiting Bournemouth 3-1 at home to return to the Grade 3. This victory also allowed Manchester City to basically get ashore in the five Premier League battles, and in the last round of the game, four teams will make a desperate attempt to make the remaining two Champions League places. In the last round of the game, Manchester City was tied 0-0 by deputy squad leader Southampton, and the points were also surpassed by Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa, who were winning, and they fell to 6th place. Manchester City coach Guardiola also seemed very frustrated about this result, and even said, "If we miss the Champions League, we are not worthy." Of course that being said, Manchester City tried their best in this game and achieved good results.

14 minutes into the game, Malmush knocked on the Bournemouth goal with a shocking world wave, and then the B-seat scored a goal to expand the score. In the second half, one person on each side was sent off with a red card, and Nico Gonzalez, who came on the bench, scored a goal to secure the victory for Manchester City. Bournemouth scored a goal to save face in injury time. In the end, after the 90th minute, Manchester City played a thrilling 3-1 at home.

After this game, Manchester City won 20 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses in 37 rounds, with 68 points, surpassing Newcastle, Chelsea and Aston Villa in 2 points, and rose to third place in the standings, and held 26 goals, while the three teams behind them had 22, 20 and 9 goals respectively. This also means that as long as Manchester City scores 1 point in the last round, it is highly likely to maintain the top 5 rankings in the Premier League, thereby locking in a place in the Champions League next season. Newcastle, Blues, Villa and No. 7 Nottingham Forest will make a life-and-death battle for two Champions League qualifications in the last round.

Let's take a look at the final match of the Premier League. Manchester City, ranked third, will challenge Fulham at Craven Farm Stadium. The last time they lost to the farmer went back to the distant 2009. In the 19 Premier League matches since then, Manchester City remained unbeaten with 14 wins and 5 draws, and has won all the last 14 games. With such an overwhelming advantage, it is difficult for Guardiola's team to not score 3 points.

In contrast, Villa's away challenge to Manchester United and Newcastle's home match against Everton is undoubtedly more difficult. Villa has lost 5 games against Manchester United in the Premier League, while Newcastle has only scored 2 points in the last three games against the Toffees. Of course, the most exciting thing in the final match of the Premier League is the direct dialogue between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest for five teams. If Chelsea wins, they can naturally lock in a place to enter the Champions League next season, and Nottingham Forest has hope of winning, but it depends on the results of the game between Newcastle and Villa. Of course, if anyone loses the ball, he will only play in the Europa League or the Europa League next season.
