Race for Europe: Gary Neville and Jimmy Carager's rule in Man City, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Chelsea | Football news

As the Premier League season enters the final in a row, the race for European sites is declining.

Newcastle I have already confirmed a place in the conference league at least next season after winning the Carabau Cup.

If they also finish in the first five places of the English Premier League – or the first six places if the FA Cup winners also finish in the first five places – the qualifying place in the conference league will go to the highest team in the following position that is not eligible for Europe in the Premier League.

Sky Sports' Jimmy Carager and Gary Neville have an opinion on other teams in this mix …

Manchester City

Jimmy Carager: “Although Man City won, it was in the middle of the bad week for them. They beat Leicester at home, while Villa went to Brighton away and won. It's a difficult game. Newcastle, after winning the cup, against Princeford is not easy either. Chelsea had played a derby game against Tottenham.

“You see all those teams that win there, they make it really exciting from now to the end of the season. Many of them will go to face, and there are many teams there-they face each other.

“Omar Marmoush was great, he has been a star for them since he came and he would have to be for the rest of the season, if Eryng Halland would be absent for six weeks, to reach Man City.

Gary Neville: “The FA Cup is great for City, as the Champions League also enters, but if they can win the FA Cup, this will be a great season for them.

“This is in a season, large in a non -season. But the idea of ​​winning a cup when it passes a bad season and the Champions League is something that should not be ignored.

“When you see what they won in the past few years, there will be a decrease at some point. But if you win a cup in the season in which you go down, you will cut off your hand.”

Aston Villa

Neville: “I imagine them for a strong finish. Unai Emery knows how to do this. I said on Christmas that I thought they would be overwhelmed but there are many teams that work well. Nottingham Forest, what is the great position they are.

“Villa is a club that Everton should look at. If you look at Everton and where they are now, Villa there was in the past few years. Everton is a huge club, and if you are thinking about it if they had that quality in the villa, especially in the vast areas? But they did not.”

Carager: “It is difficult with a villa, and asks what you prefer. Only you have to continue building and building this momentum. They have a great team. You see the players who were coming out of the bench in Preston. They just have to go to everything.

“I would like to see them win the FA Cup. It will be difficult to win in the Champions League. You want to win it, but sometimes there is a feeling that you are only in the Champions League and reach the semi -finals. Imagine the night they will get in Villa Park! To win the FA Cup, the teams are going for a long time without a cup.”

Nutingham forest

Neville: “Do you remember Leicester a few years ago? There was a season when Manchester United defeated them and got out of the Champions League. There is still a little to do for the left forest. There are only eight games, but just make sure that the line is crossed here.

“But what is a wonderful situation. A wonderful result last night and everyone wants to see them in the Champions League given their success. It is a real scrap otherwise.

Carager: “It will be great for the league, just like Leesester winning the league. Nottingham Forest in the first four places will be great. It seems to be worth it now. They have enough to stay there, they will be fine.”

Bournemouth

Carager: “They look somewhat similar to the forest, it was so good that you are very disappointed to see them moving. I didn't want to see them moving in the same way that you did not want to see with Forest. This stumbling was lasting for five or six weeks yet, this is not a few weeks. They must run it because you do not want to destroy what was a great season for them.”

Chelsea

Carra: “Chelsea has been very inconsistent during the past three or four months, but they are still there. It shows the number of points that the teams have shot down. There is a real battle there. The first three places will be made, and the other two positions can be any person at all.”
