Five English teams will secure Champions League qualification through the Premier League, up from the usual four, due to strong performances by Premier League clubs in European competitions this season.
Sixth-placed Manchester City has a game in hand against Bournemouth at home on Tuesday, meaning they control their own fate, unlike Aston Villa.
The FA Cup finalists, Manchester City, will then face Fulham on the final day of the season.
Newcastle knows that a home win against Everton next Sunday at 16:00 BST would confirm their qualification.
Chelsea also needs a win, but they face Nottingham Forest, who defeated West Ham 2-1 on Sunday to keep their hopes alive.
Forest must beat Chelsea and hope for slip-ups from teams above them.
Aston Villa will likely need to win at Manchester United and rely on favorable results elsewhere.
Still following?
The winner of Wednesday's Europa League final between Manchester United and Tottenham will qualify for next season's Champions League, resulting in a sixth English team, but this does not affect league standings.
With both Spurs and United in the bottom five of the Premier League, the losing finalist will have no European football next season.
Another European finalist, Chelsea, could influence other English teams' qualification for European competitions, but more details follow later.
