Premier League top four race: Tottenham, Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal - who will miss out?

Four Premier League teams remain in the hunt for the remaining two Champions League qualification spots, and the race for a top-four finish is tighter than ever.

Manchester City and Liverpool look to have the top two places sewn up between them as their title race goes to the wire, but for the other four members of the ‘Big Six’, nothing is decided yet.

A bizarre Easter weekend saw Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal all lose before Chelsea wasted a glorious chance to go third by being held at Stamford Bridge by Burnley.

It means, remarkably, Spurs remain in pole position for a top-four place despite suffering their 11th defeat of the season at the weekend.

A win for Spurs over Brighton on Tuesday evening will open up a three-point gap over fourth-placed Chelsea and a six-point gap with United - though having played a game more - before the two play each other on Sunday.

Arsenal face tough away trips to Wolves and Leicester inside the week, further heightening Spurs' need to get positive results starting against both Brighton tonight before welcoming West Ham on Saturday.
