Aston Villa and Tottenham are fighting for fourth place, knowing that fifth place is not officially good enough to qualify for the Champions League.

And, of course, all bets are off regarding qualification for the Europa League and Europa Conference League, with Manchester United, Newcastle, West Ham and even Chelsea fighting for a place in the sun.

The bottom of the league, Sheffield United, are already relegated and could join the likes of Burnley, Luton Town or Nottingham Forest.

Each team fights for something different and it is not known how things will end for each of them.

But one thing is certain: they will all need their coach by their side before the season ends on May 19.

That’s why Prem chiefs will have to be careful with their reactions on the touchline, with referees proving they’re not shy about drawing a card.

According to league rules, three yellow cards lead to a one-game suspension for the head coach.

Three more yellow cards, making a total of six, result in another one-game suspension.

Another two – totaling eight yellow cards – result in a coach being suspended for two games.

As it stands, the only boss who needs to be extra careful is Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta.

Arteta has already received five yellow cards this season, meaning one more will see him miss an important game against United or Everton on the final day.

Roberto De Zerbi, from Brighton, and Erik ten Hag, from the Red Devils, follow with four each.
