Premier League Race for European places

I've uploaded the section of the table with clubs who can still theoretically reach the European places as well as those clubs just outside.

Important note, now that Villa have won the Europa league:

Placement If Villa get 4th If Villa get 5th
4th CL CL
5th CL CL
6th EL CL
7th EL EL
8th ECL ECL
9th - -

Situation for each club

Aston Villa in 4th can drop to 5th if they lose to City while Liverpool beat Brentford, but will get CL football either way.

Liverpool in 5th can still drop to 6th place if they lose to Brentford, and Bournemouth beat Forest while overturning a 6 GD gap.

Bournemouth in 6th can drop to 7th if they lose to Forest and Brighton beats Man Utd. They retain an outside chance of 5th.

Brighton in 7th, if they draw, could still be overtaken by Brentford and Chelsea; if they lose, they could be overtaken by Sunderland instead of Chelsea, dropping as low as 9th. They can still get 6th if they win while Bournemouth lose.

Chelsea in 8th, if they draw, can be overtaken by Brentford if they beat Liverpool; if they lose, they are overtaken by Sunderland. They can get up to 7th with a win.

Brentford in 9th can overtake Brighton or Chelsea, getting up to 8th or 7th, if either fail to win; a draw leaves them susceptible to being overtaken by Sunderland; while a loss and GD swing could see them drop below Newcastle or Fulham as well as Everton.

Sunderland in 10th could find themselves in 7th with a win, while a loss or draw leaves them susceptible to dropping below up to two of the next three teams.

Newcastle, Everton and Fulham in 11th, 12th and 13th can only reach 9th, since Chelsea and Sunderland play each other.
