The Hammers fought toe to toe with the big boys this season

With the move to London's Olympic Stadium confirmed before the start of the season, European Qualification would surely enhance their reputation as one of London's big boys and increase their fan following worldwide.

West Ham have had a wonderful campaign led by the likes of Dimitri Payet and Lanzini. The Hammers could finish above United in 5th if they beat Stoke City at the Britannia and United fail to win against Bournemouth. Also, a draw could be enough for them if other results go their way.

#5 Southampton (7th, 60 points)

Southampton
The Saints have gone from strength to strength under Koeman

The Saints will qualify for the Europa League 3rd qualifying in their current position unless Crystal Palace win the FA Cup. 5th could be their highest position come the end of the day if West Ham fail to defeat Stoke and United lose to Saint's south coast rivals Bournemouth.

Being the League's 2nd best team in 2016 after champions Leicester City, the Saints will be confident of taking all 3 points at home against a stuttering Crystal Palace side that have won only 2 times in their last 20 games.

#6 Liverpool (8th, 59 points)

Liverpool
The Reds will go all out for victory against Sevilla on Wednesday

The reds have endured another poor domestic campaign as they fell way short of the top 4. However, they could yet enter Europe's elite competition by lifting the Europa League next week.

Defeat in Basel and 8th place finish will see Liverpool miss out on Europe altogether, but Jurgen Klopp's men can still climb up to 6th to qualify for Europe even if they lose to Sevilla in the final of the Europa League.

#7 Crystal Palace (14th, 42 points)

Crystal Palace
Palace can end their season on a high by lifting the FA Cup

The Eagles have fallen away since the start of the year and have been listless at times. However, they can qualify for the Europa League group stage if they beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final on 21st May.
