Brentford flying - but will sixth be good enough for Champions League?

Brentford manager Keith Andrews had never been in charge of a club before this season. Asked about his side's top-six chances, he told BBC Match of the Day: "It's tight. We've had a special season so far and I want us to continue that. We'll just keep pushing." Despite Newcastle being 13th - six points off Brentford - captain Bruno Guimaraes is still dreaming of continental football. "We are looking up, not down," he said after his side's 3-1 win over Brighton on Saturday. "We can still play European football next season. We must win the next three games." It is most likely that sixth will result in a Europa League berth and seventh a Conference League spot. As many as nine English teams could qualify for Europe next season. That would happen if Forest and Crystal Palace , who are both unlikely to finish in the top seven, win the Europa League and Conference League respectively. Whatever the outcome, the Premier League is set for a dramatic finish. Brentford are still to play Manchester City , Palace and Liverpool . They are a point above Brighton , who face Wolves , Leeds and Manchester United . Two points behind Brentford but with a game in hand are Bournemouth , who face Palace, Fulham , City and Forest. Chelsea have also played one game fewer than Brentford , are three points behind and have games against Forest, Liverpool , Tottenham and Sunderland .
