AI has predicted how the race for Champions League qualification between Manchester City, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Aston Villa will play out.
The race for Champions League qualification is set to go down to the wire.
With Liverpool one win away from being crowned Premier League champions and Arsenal all-but confirmed as runners-up, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, Chelsea and Aston Villa are competing to join the pair in the top five.
There have been plenty of twists and turns in the last few days. Before the weekend, Newcastle sat third in the league table but a 4-1 defeat at Villa and a 2-1 win for Forest at Tottenham Hotspur saw them drop to fourth.
The Magpies then dropped to fifth on Tuesday night after Man City beat Aston Villa with a 94th-minute winner from Matheus Nunes. Eddie Howe’s side return to action on Saturday when they host Ipswich Town at St James’ Park.
Heading into the weekend’s matches, Man City sit third on 61 points, Forest are fourth on 60 points, Newcastle are fifth with 59, while Chelsea and Aston Villa are sixth and seventh respectively on 57 points, with only goal difference separating the two teams.
