The race for European spots in this year's Premier League has been exciting, to say the least. Leicester City has been a new entry in the Champions League spots this year taking over from Tottenham Hotspur. They might be primed for a Champions League season next term, considering the way they have been playing under the experienced Brendan Rodgers.

The Europa League spots are the ones difficult to predict. Currently, Wolves are 5th and Sheffield United is 6th, much to the surprise of many. That being said, the difference between 5th and 11th place is only 3 points. This doesn't give the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester Untied any space to breathe and lose matches if they are to finish in those remaining European spots. The time to gain ground is the festive period where teams can either attain their objectives or lose grip of their season entirely.

Every match from now on is a must-win for the 3 teams, who are a part of the so-called "Top Six" of the Premier League. The advantage now for Tottenham Hotspur is that they have Jose Mourinho as their manager. The Special One knows how to win, and this makes Spurs one of the favourites for the 5th spot.

However, Arsenal and Manchester United are in a tricky position and they have to be absolutely flawless to win football matches. Complete team performance in every game from now onwards is the only chance that these teams have to save their season.
