The Premier League 2023/24 season began on August 11 and ended on May 19
The campaign featured 38 rounds of fixtures spread over more than nine months
Several teams were in contention for a top-four finish in the 2023/24 season
The Premier League 2023/24 top four race is now over, with Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa qualifying for the Champions League.
The season got under way on August 11 and concluded on May 19, by which time every team will have played each other home and away across 38 rounds of fixtures, as is customary in the Premier League.
The best online sportsbooks are no longer offering odds on the Premier League top four. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool qualified pretty comfortably, with Aston Villa edging out Tottenham Hotspur in the race for the final Champions League qualification berth.
The top four teams in the Premier League automatically qualify for the group stage of the following season’s Champions League. It is therefore a prize worth fighting for, even though the goal of many clubs at the start of the season is to win the Premier League title.
In previous seasons, the top three teams automatically reached the group stage of the Champions League, and the fourth-place finisher entered the qualifying phase.
That changed at the start of the 2017/18 campaign when UEFA handed more automatic qualification spots to Europe’s biggest leagues, including England’s top flight.
| Club | Number of Finishes |
|---|---|
| Manchester United | 26 |
| Arsenal | 23 |
| Liverpool | 20 |
| Chelsea | 19 |
| Manchester City | 14 |
| Tottenham Hotspur | 7 |
| Newcastle United | 6 |
| Blackburn Rovers | 3 |
| Leeds United | 3 |
| Aston Villa | 3 |
When it comes to winning the title and finishing in the top four, Manchester United are the most successful side in Premier League history in that regard. Arsenal moved further clear of the chasing pack in second thanks to their second-place finish last term.
Manchester City are still relatively low down this list due to the fact that their first Premier League top-four finish came in 2010/11. They will probably continue to close the gap on the teams above them in the next few seasons.
