Premier League standings analysis for the 2022/23 season

Hosting Chelsea in the postponed match of round 32 of the Premier League, MU only needs one point to officially have a place in the top 4.

However, coach Erik ten Hag's team did even better when they won with a resounding 4-1 victory.

The goals of the Old Trafford home team were scored by Casemiro (6th minute), Martial (45+5 minute), Bruno Fernandes (73rd minute, penalty) and Rashford (78th minute).

The Blues' honorary goal belonged to substitute player Joao Felix (minute 89).

This result not only helps MU win a ticket to the UEFA Champions League 2023/24 with one match left, but also helps them surpass Newcastle to take 3rd place on the rankings before the final match.

In round 38, also taking place at 10:30 p.m. on Sunday (May 28), MU will still play at home to welcome Fulham, while the Magpies will travel to Chelsea's Stamford Bridge.

Therefore, the Red Devils of Manchester are open to ending the season in 3rd place overall.

Thus, the top 4 Premier League 2022/23 is decided with the championship belonging to Man City, Arsenal in the runner-up position, along with MU and Newcastle participating in the highest European club competition next season.

Liverpool and Brighton compete in the Europa League.

Meanwhile, in the relegation race, after Southampton officially relegated to the Championship, Leicester and Leeds Utd have a slim chance of staying in the Premier League next season.

Everton is in 17th place, with 33 points, 2 points ahead of the 18th-placed "Foxes" who are also not certain and still need a win in the final round.
