Their clash in the final round of matches on July 26 will have plenty riding on it – notably tens of millions of dollars in potential Champions League prize money next season
Manchester United's Marcus Rashford celebrates after scoring the opening goal against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in London, England, Thursday, July 16, 2020.The race to secure the final two Champions League qualification spots from the Premier League is going to the last day of the season.
If Leicester and United both win those games, they realistically could find themselves in third and fourth place, respectively, because Chelsea – currently one point ahead of them in third place – is away to champion Liverpool in its next-to-last game Wednesday. Palace then had an equalizer by Jordan Ayew ruled out by VAR for the narrowest of offside calls in the 55th. United sealed victory through Anthony Martial’s 17th league goal of the season, which matches Rashford’s goal tally.
Jamie Vardy struck the post for Leicester but stayed on 23 goals for the season, meaning he leads the race for the Golden Boot scoring trophy by three goals heading into the final two rounds.Leicester will have to do without two key players – play maker James Maddison and left back Ben Chilwell – for its last two games, with manager Brendan Rodgers confirming they will not recover from injury in time.
