Liverpool, Chelsea and Leicester City fixtures compared ahead of Champions League run

Determining who will claim a Champions League spot this season remains to be seen as the Premier League top-four race continues.

Arsenal made life at the top of the table interesting after earning a surprise 1-0 triumph at the home of Chelsea on Wednesday and last night's scoreline has only added to the drama.

Liverpool claimed a vital three points at Old Trafford on Thursday evening against Manchester United, putting the Reds back in contention for a Champions League place.

"We are still in the game, in the race. That is all we could have done tonight. It is very intense," Jurgen Klopp told BBC Sport after his side's win.

"We have to recover quickly and go again. We played a good game and did good enough to win so obviously we did a lot of right stuff tonight."

It's a race that is set to go down to the wire as the league prepares for an exciting end to the campaign.

Liverpool have the most favourable fixtures, on paper, with away trips to relegated West Brom followed by a visit to Burnley three days later. The Reds end the season at home to Crystal Palace, who also have nothing to play for in the league.

The fixture that is likely to decide the fate of all three teams is next Tuesday's meeting between Chelsea and Leicester City.

A defeat for either side would seriously dent hopes of securing a Champions League finish and would provide Liverpool a huge boost in their bid to gate-crash the top-four.

Thomas Tuchel's side face an away trip to Aston Villa on the final day of the campaign, while the Foxes must negotiate another tough match as they host Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium.

Below are the remaining fixtures for each side as Liverpool, Chelsea and Leicester battle it out for a place in Europe's elite competition...
