Premier League table and Champions League qualification probabilities Newcastle 83% Chelsea 57% Aston Villa 45% Man City 86% Nottingham Forest 29%

Match of the Day 2 pundits have been having their say on the race for the Champions League.

Danny Murphy expects Newcastle to be "fine", adding: "At home to Everton, I would say so with those fans behind them.

"Manchester City have got it all in their own hands with that extra game. Bournemouth and Fulham - not easy games but I'd tip them as well.

"If you look around the dressing room and you look at the manager, they're just the best in their class. If they don't have the resilience and fortitude to get through those games then there is a real question mark. They should beat Bournemouth and Fulham nine out of 10 times when they need to."

"That Chelsea-Forest game next week is the pick of the bunch. That's going to be one hell of an atmosphere down there."

Martin Keown said: "I think Forest have been magnificent this year - a breath of fresh air to see how they've performed. It's looking tough for them right now. They just had a little blip at the wrong time but they can't have any regrets to the way they've played this season.

"I think Man City will have enough to get there and so will Aston Villa as well."

  • 'We have the chance to finish on a real high' - Pope

    Goalkeeper Nick Pope says Newcastle have "all the motivation" they need to see their season out on a high and qualify for the Champions League in their final game.

    The 33-year-old has reflected on their performance against Arsenal ahead of their meeting with Everton at St James' Park next Sunday.

    "I think we had our chances, can't say we didn't have our moments," he told BBC Radio Newcastle.

    "It was a high level game and we need those fine margins to go in our favour to get a result and unfortunately for us that didn't happen.

    "We've performed well and there's definitely positives to take. Not the result we wanted of course but, we're 37 games into the season and we have the chance to finish on a real high so, that's all the motivation we need for next Sunday.

    "We've got one game [against Everton] and one game we need to win. It's very simple and there's nothing else to look into and we've got to concentrate this week at the training ground and put in a performance.

    "Where else would you rather play in the world? They're going to be right behind us and we're ready for a big atmosphere so, looking forward to playing in it."

    Eddie Howe and his Newcastle players salute their travelling fans after a 1-0 defeat at ArsenalReuters

    No Alexander Isak, no goals for Newcastle.

    The in-form Sweden striker was missing from his side's 1-0 defeat at Arsenal due to a groin issue.

    Yet the visitors created enough chances in the opening 20 minutes to have won comfortably only for Declan Rice to pop up with another outrageous finish to punish Newcastle.

    "It depends a lot on how he reacts," said Newcastle boss Eddie Howe afterwards about Isak's chances of appearing against Everton on the final day of the season.

    Newcastle have already enjoyed a remarkable season after ending the club's 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy.

    But they require one final effort to confirm a Champions League spot to add to their Carabao Cup triumph.

    "This game is gone," added Howe about the defeat to Arsenal.

    "We're still in a strong position and it's still in our hands [Champions League qualification]."

  • Eddie Howe

  • 'I cannot ask anymore of the players'

    Eddie Howe spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live after Newcastle's defeat against Arsenal: "It was a really strong first half performance from us - we looked confident. I was really pleased, bar the last action, the finishing was a bit off. I have to say David Raya played well."

    "I can't ask anymore of the players, tough place to come. We probably weren't our best in the second half and that's what's probably has cost us the game."

    On Alexander Isak's injury ruling him out of the final game of the season: "It is too early to say. It is a strange one, as he felt it after training. Got a scan this morning to see what the damage was. Hopefully, he will be available, but we don't know."

    On Champions League qualification: "Halfway through the season we weren't in a great position.

    "We worked hard to get here. I had the feeling it would go right to the end. It's an incredibly tight race. We have one more game to execute what we need."

    On playing at home in the last game of the season: "We love playing at home. It's a really great atmosphere. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves and make it too emotional.

    "We need to give our best and try and win."

  • 'Unfortunately people fear the worst' - Howey on Botman

    Former Newcastle United defender Steve Howey says it is "pleasing" to hear that Sven Botman only picked up a knock on his knee in the Magpies' 2-0 win over Chelsea, after the centre-back suffered with two anterior cruciate ligament injuries last season.

    Botman made his first start for three months last weekend before needing to be substituted off 10 minutes into the second half at St. James' Park.

    Howey voiced his relief for the defender, after manager Eddie Howe confirmed it wasn't a "serious injury" in his pre-match news conference.

    "I think he has been unlucky," Howey told BBC Radio Newcastle. "Obviously the ACL injury was the ACL injury, but I think his first injury came from a knock as well.

    "You are going to get knocks, bangs and bruises in the position that he plays, but I think he's just been really unlucky on the last two occasions.

    "As soon as it comes out that it's his knee, unfortunately people fear the worst because of what has happened previously with him. In a weird way, it is pleasing that it's just a knock."

    On the mental impact of lengthy injuries, he added: "It is tough. You have to be mentally strong to get through them because you do feel as though you're not part of things.

    "That comes as no surprise because you aren't part of things, you're just watching the lads out of the window training every day and playing games.

    "But Eddie Howe seems to realise how difficult it is for players. Back in the day, managers didn't care because they thought: 'What's the point of you being that involved if I can't use you">
