Chelsea, Liverpool And Leicester Battle For Champions League Places

By Daily sports on May 23, 2021

The battle for the final two Champions League qualification spots goes down to the wire today with Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester City all vying for a place in Europe’s elite competition.

Chelsea is third on 67 points and will book their place with a victory at Aston Villa tomorrow before they take on Manchester City in the Champions League final.

Liverpool and Leicester City are both a point adrift of Chelsea, with the 2019 Champions League winners having the edge.

An unbeaten run of nine games, including wins in their last four outings, has propelled Jurgen Klopp’s side above Leicester on goal difference.

The plus-four goal difference advantage means that if Liverpool wins against Crystal Palace tomorrow, Leicester would need to beat Tottenham Hotspur by an unlikely margin to make it into the Champions League for only the second time in their history.

Realistically, the Foxes, who beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final last Saturday, need to win and hope one of their rivals slip up. (Guardian NG)
