Guardiola eyes home comforts on final day
Ahead of the final weekend of the Premier League season, there is plenty to play for, with even the supposed ‘dead rubbers’ potentially playing a part in teams gaining or losing millions in prize money.
The title is still up for grabs, of course, while one of Leeds United and Burnley will occupy the final relegation place when the dust settled. There is also a Champions League place up for grabs, while the final Europa League finisher is yet to be determined.
Mathematically speaking, none of the 20 teams are assured of their final position, though Chelsea would need to suffer an improbable 19-goal swing to lose out on third spot. Still, the prize money up for grabs could end up playing a part in all teams’ summer business, with an extra few million unlikely to harm the coffers.
Premier League clubs can pocket as much as £3m per place, and this means some clubs are in line for potentially huge swings. Aston Villa, for example, have £12m on the line as they travel to league leaders Manchester City with the chance of denying Pep Guardiola’s side at the last.
Working on the rough premise of £3m per place, Mirror Football has taken a look at the permutations for all 20 teams. Even if your side seemingly has nothing at stake on the final day, it’s not quite that simple, though some of the possible shifts would require huge victories and defeats on Sunday afternoon.
