Premier League: Brentford chasing Champions League – could sixth place be enough?

Published

on

Brentford manager Keith Andrews had never been in charge of a club before this season.

Asked about his side’s top-six chances, he told BBC Match of the Day: “It’s tight. We’ve had a special season so far and I want us to continue that. We’ll just keep pushing.”

Despite Newcastle being 13th – six points off Brentford – captain Bruno Guimaraes is still dreaming of continental football.

“We are looking up, not down,” he said after his side’s 3-1 win over Brighton on Saturday.

“We can still play European football next season. We must win the next three games.”

It is most likely that sixth will result in a Europa League berth and seventh a Conference League spot.

As many as nine English teams could qualify for Europe next season.

That would happen if Forest and Crystal Palace, who are both unlikely to finish in the top seven, win the Europa League and Conference League respectively.

Whatever the outcome, the Premier League is set for a dramatic finish.

Brentford are still to play Manchester City, Palace and Liverpool.

They are a point above Brighton, who face Wolves, Leeds and Manchester United.

Two points behind Brentford but with a game in hand are Bournemouth, who face Palace, Fulham, City and Forest.

Chelsea have also played one game fewer than Brentford, are three points behind and have games against Forest, Liverpool, Tottenham and Sunderland.
