Coming into the final day City and United were confirmed top 2 with 3rd and 4th still up for grabs. Leicester was the team with all the work to do if they were to secure one of the 2 remaining spots as they were in 5th spot going into finals day also they were the worst when comparing the goal difference of the three teams competing for the 2 spots. 

Leicester failed to beat Tottenham as they lost 4-2 and Chelsea lost as well to Aston Villa 2-1 thus Chelsea finished in fourth on 67 points 1 point ahead of Leicester. The surprise of the lot was Liverpool finishing in third as they capped off a 10 match winning streak to finish the season on a high. 

Liverpool who was looking like they might just make it to the Europa League went on to win their last 10 games of the campaign to pull off a comeback and finish in 3rd position thus securing their place in the champions league for next season also giving Jurgen Klopp and his men some much-needed confidence heading into next season after they had a tough season the was ploughed by injuries to key players. 

The finish to the season premier league was exciting and also the race for the top 4 going down to the wire made it an even more interesting finals day as things kept on changing every time one of the three teams either scored or conceded a goal. In the end, it was Liverpool and Chelsea who managed to secure the births for next season champions league and Leicester having to settle for a place in the Europa League next season. 

This was a fun season as well as challenging considering what's going on at the moment in the world.
