How Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea results affect Premier League top four race

Chelsea were the only top four challenger to win this weekend as the race for the Champions League race hots up.

The Blues managed a 3-0 victory over Watford as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, David Luiz and Gonzalo Higuain all got on the score sheet at Stamford Bridge.

The win meant that they will definitely finish in the top four alongside Liverpool and Manchester City.

The remaining space is available to just Tottenham and Arsenal now - with Spurs the almost certain favourites to grab it.

Spurs lost to Bournemouth on Saturday but have a three point and eight goal advantage over their north London rivals - who drew with Brighton.

Manchester United can no longer qualify with a season in the Europa League confirmed when they drew with already relegated Huddersfield on Sunday.
