Bournemouth need a point for Europa League football.
If they want Champions League football they need to either:
- Beat City (H) and Forest (A) and hope Liverpool draw/lose to Brentford (H) to get 5th.
Or
By finishing 6th:
- Better Brighton result against United (H) across their City (H) and Forest (A) games.
- Hope City beat Villa (H)
- Hope Liverpool beat Brentford (H)
- Hope Villa win the Europa League.
It's mad but the bottom scenario is probably the most realistic, unless they take points off of us in which case we might take Villa easy.
Basically a draw suits neither team if Bournemouth are hoping for CL football.
