The race for Europe
If Liverpool is sailing towards the title with its 12-point lead over Arsenal, everything is still open for the race for Europe with nine games left to play.

The Gunners and Nottingham Forest seem assured of playing in the Champions League thanks to their small cushion over fifth place.
On the other hand, for the last Champions League spot and also those that allow access to the Europa League and the Europa Conference League, it's simply seven teams that are within five points of each other. So, everything can still change.
The relegation battle
Like the title race, the relegation battle seems to be all but over. Ipswich Town, 18th, is nine points behind Wolves, who are on a positive streak.
Unfortunately for them, Leicester and Southampton, the suspense is no longer present.
The top scorers' ranking
There, too, Mohamed Salah is dominating the Premier League and has a six-goal lead over his first pursuer, namely Erling Haaland. But has the Norwegian said his last word?

The title race
With a six-point lead over Leverkusen, Bayern is getting closer to the title that had escaped them the previous season. However, beware of B04's comeback, who only have the championship and the German Cup left to play.
The race for Europe
Five teams still seem to be able to claim a Champions League spot in Germany, with Mayence, Francfort, Leipzig, Fribourg, and Gladbach all within five points of each other.
As for the Europa League and the Europa Conference League, Wolfsbourg, Augsbourg, and Stuttgart can still join the battle. With seven points behind the first European spot, Dortmund will have to push hard to come back.
The relegation battle
If Kiel and Heidenheim seem doomed to achieve a feat to save their skin, Bochum still has a slim hope. The 16th-placed team is five points behind Sankt Pauli.
The top scorers' ranking
Harry Kane seems to be heading towards another top scorer title, but the English striker is still under threat from Patrick Schick and his 17 goals.

The title race
With eight games left to play, Inter has created a gap over Naples and Atalanta Bergame. But with the Champions League to play, will Simone Inzaghi's players have the legs to go all the way?
The race for Europe
Behind the top three, there are three European spots left to be distributed in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
The battle for the last Champions League spot should be played between Bologne, Juventus, Lazio, and Roma. Fiorentina and AC Milan have not said their last word for the C3 and C4.
The relegation battle
Except for Monza, who seems condemned, five teams are still concerned about the battle for survival. Venise, Empoli, Parme, Lecce, and Cagliari are all within five points of each other.
The top scorers' ranking
Mateo Retegui seems to have knocked out the competition in Serie A. The Atalanta striker has a seven-point lead over Moïse Kean.

The title race
This is the championship where the title race is the most uncertain. Barça and Real Madrid are tied, while Atlético de Madrid has lost ground and is four points behind with 10 games left to play.
Note that Barça has a game in hand.
The race for Europe
For the Champions League, the four spots seem promised to Barça, Real, Atlético, and Bilbao.
A step below, the battle is raging between Villarreal, Betis, Majorque, and Celta Vigo for the qualifying spots in C3 and C4.
The relegation battle
Like Montpellier or Monza, Real Valladolid is heading towards the second division.
On the other hand, the battle to avoid the other two relegation spots promises to be thrilling. Las Palmas, Leganés, Alavés, Valencia, and Espanyol are only separated by three small points, and the sprint is going to be crazy.

Inter Milan Linked Italy Star To Leave PSG – Premier League Clubs On Alert
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is set to leave PSG, with clubs from the Premier League on alert to sign the Italian international. This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInter1908. By now, the situation of Gianluigi Donnarumma at Paris Saint-Germain is well-known. The Parisians have just made a big money signing goal in the form of Lucas Chevallier from Lille. That looks like a clear statement of intent from PSG. Particularly considering that contract extension talks between the European champions and Donnarumma have stalled. The 26-year-old former AC Milan keeper has rejected the offer of a new deal worth €8 million net per season plus €4 million in add-ons. This is in line with the Parisians' policy of focusing on younger players and not offering big contracts to older players. Therefore, as things stand, Donnarumma is just one year away from the expiration of his contract. Gianluigi Donnarumma To Leave PSG LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 29: Gianluigi. Donnarumma of Paris. Saint-Germain celebrates after teammate Ousmane Dembele (not pictured) scores his team's first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Semi Final First Leg match between. Arsenal FC and Paris Saint-Germain at Emirates Stadium on April 29, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Donnarumma has been leave out of PSG's squad for the European Super Cup against Tottenham Hotspur. That is the biggest sign yet that the Parisians do not consider the 26-year-old a part of their plans. This in spite of Donnarumma's heroics in the Champions League knockouts this season. Inter Milan have long appeared to be suitors for Donnarumma if he sees out his contract in the French capital and leaves on a free transfer. However, if the Italian international leaves this summer, the Premier League would be a likelier destination.

Liverpool to make classy Diogo Jota tribute in Bournemouth matchday programme
Liverpool will dedicate the front cover of its matchday programme for Friday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth to Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva. The Reds will continue to honor the Portuguese forward following his tragic death last month, with a range of tributes also set to be included in the special edition. The Premier League has also announced arrangements for tributes to be paid to Jota and his sibling ahead of all fixtures this weekend. Friday's clash with the Cherries will mark the start of Liverpool's title defence, following on from last season's incredible success under Arne Slot, but also the club's first top-flight game without its 28-year-old striker. READ MORE: Liverpool's 'next 3 transfers' as Alexander Isak promise bombshell emerges READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Alexander Isak latest, Marc Guehi talks, Giovanni Leoni move Whilst tributes have been made at this summer's pre-season friendlies with Preston and Athletic Bilbao, along with last weekend's Community Shield defeat to Crystal Palace at Wembley, Friday's fixture is expected to be taken to an extra level. "The first Liverpool FC matchday programme of the 2025-26 Premier League season features a range of tributes in memory of Diogo Jota," Liverpool posted to its official website on Wednesday. "Friday's meeting with AFC Bournemouth is the first competitive fixture at Anfield since the tragic passing of the man who will forever be the club's number 20. "The front cover of this edition is dedicated to Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, who also died in the road traffic accident in July." The first programme of the 2025-26 Premier League season will also feature quotes from summer signing Milos Kerkez as he prepares to face off against his former team, along with the usual pre-match thoughts of Slot and captain Virgil van Dijk. However, the primary focus ahead of kick-off will be remembering Jota, just over six weeks on from his tragic death. Alongside a minute's silence, players will also don black armbands, whilst clubs will receive materials and visuals to showcase on their big screens. The Premier League has gone to great lengths to ensure that this will be the case for all 10 fixtures taking place this weekend, following talks with Liverpool to establish the most appropriate method of remembering the Portuguese international. On Sunday, tributes were offered to Jota and his brother before the Community Shield encounter between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at Wembley, where floral arrangements were placed on the turf and a period of silence was held before kick-off. Liverpool supporters had also displayed their respects with a rousing rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' as the wreaths were brought onto the pitch, unveiling a white banner showing 'Diogo J' alongside the forward's image and squad number 20. Just 24 hours before, Jota's former club, Wolves, paid its own touching tribute at Molineux ahead of the team's game against Celta Vigo, which included a floral wreath bearing Jota's name and number from his time at the club was created.
