Race for Europe: How it stands and remaining gamesImage source, AFP via Getty ImagesPublished27 minutes agoBournemouth boosted their chances of playing in Europe for the first time in their history with a 1-0 win at Fulham on Saturday, while Brighton also remain on course to return to continental action.
The Cherries, who finished 21st in League Two in 2008-09, are sixth in the table with two games left.
That will be enough to earn a Champions League spot providing Aston Villa finish fifth and win their Europa League final encounter against Freiburg on 20 May.
It means the Vitality Stadium, which has a capacity of around 11,200, could be welcoming sides like Paris St-Germain and Real Madrid next season.
Brighton, meanwhile, are seventh on 53 points – two behind the Cherries and five adrift of Villa, after a comfortable 3-0 home win over relegated Wolves.
The Seagulls reached the last 16 of the Europa League in 2023-24, defeating Ajax home and away, as well as Marseille.
Three Premier League clubs have reached European finals this season – Arsenal in the Champions League, Aston Villa in the Europa League and Crystal Palace in the Conference League.
