What Tottenham's loss to Bournemouth means for Chelsea, Arsenal and Man United in top four race

The fight for a top-four finish in the Premier League will go down to the final weekend, with both third and fourth spot in the table still available.

Tottenham Hotspur had the opportunity to secure Champions League football next season by beating Bournemouth on Saturday but the struggles for Mauricio Pochettino’s side continued, as they were beaten by Nathan Ake's late effort.

The Lilywhites also saw Son Heung-Min and Juan Foyth shown straight red cards in their trip to the south coast, meaning the pair are unavailable for a difficult clash with Everton on the Premier League’s final day.

That has left the door open for Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United to capitalise, all of whom play on Sunday, and the final two sides of the Premier League’s top-four now look set to be decided next week.

Here, we’ve identified how things stand in the top-four race with the odds, remaining fixtures and recent form for all four sides.
