Premier League: Title Decided But Race Still On For European Spots In England
With Liverpool: With Liverpool assured of this season's Premier League title and Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich set for a swift return to the Championship for next season, the only issues to be resolved are which teams will qualify for European competition.
The second-placed Arsenal would have to suffer a disastrous end to the campaign to miss out on the Champions League, which means coach Mikel Arteta can give priority to next week's Champions League semifinal return leg away to Paris Saint-Germain after a slightly tame defeat on Tuesday. Arteta will probably rest key players for Saturday's home tie with Bournemouth, with the main focus on next Wednesday's trip to Paris.
Newcastle United travel to the south coast to play Brighton after a run of four wins from five games has lifted Eddie Howe's side up to third. Alexander Isak continues to be in excellent form, while Brighton's hopes of playing in Europe next season look to have slipped away, reports Xinhua.
