Analysing Champions League qualification scenarios in Europe's top 5 leagues 

#1 Premier League

Olivier Giroud's winner against Liverpool revived Chelsea's Champions League hopes

Already qualified: Manchester City (champions), Manchester United

In the reckoning: Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea

Chelsea were all but out of the race for Champions League football, but the 1-0 win over Liverpool on Sunday changed the whole complexion. These three teams now find themselves within three points of each other, and the scales can swing anyone's way.

With just one domestic game left, all Liverpool have to do is beat Brighton at home. But if they don't finish within the top four at the end of the campaign, the other way round is to beat Real Madrid in the finals of the Champions League. But that's far easier said than done.

Spurs just need to better the 75 point tally to overtake Liverpool on third. And if Liverpool and Chelsea end up tying at 75, which is the maximum that they can now accrue, then goal-difference would be the tie-breaker if the former lose in the Champions League finals.

In that case, the Reds would be a better bet as they currently hold a goal-difference of +15 over the Blues.

Should Liverpool indeed get the better of Los Blancos in Kiev, all three teams go through regardless of how things stand after the final game.
