Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United are now at an impressive distance from the top four after Chelsea and Leicester City fell defeated on Wednesday evening.
The Foxes, who remain in third place, were beaten by Everton to continue their miserable streak, while Chelsea was beaten by a West Ham strike.
The results leave the Wolves just two points behind Frank Lampard and one behind the Foxes.
On Saturday, Man Man will host Bournemouth, before the Wolves play at Arsenal, where a win for both would temporarily see them over Chelsea.
With Manchester City’s appeal against a European ban to be resolved on July 13, there is still a chance that the fifth could guarantee Champions League football.
But fans of both teams on social media think they can make sure of their qualification for the European elite competition by jumping over the stuttering team pair above them.
FANS OF WOLVES
@ CZB2388: If Prem had not used VAR this year, we would have been 4th, perhaps 3rd, on equal points (and almost identical GD) with Chelsea, ahead of Leicester in 5 th
@Dbloomy: Nice night for #Lupi while Chelsea and Leicester City go down
@ Bigmat1982: Wow did not expect this result even after the loss of Leicester. It makes her stand up even more for Saturday’s game. Exciting!!! Look over your shoulder, Chelsea
@SouthBankMatt: With Wolves still having to play Chelsea and Leicester still playing against Man Utd, it is now in our hands! There is still a long way to go but what an exciting end of the season we have in store! Win them all, we are in the CL!
@Jon_wwfc: The dream is alive thanks to Leicester and Chelsea
MAN FAN UNITED
@ UnitedFirst2: So when Chelsea play Saturday, it can be the exciting sixth battle for the top 4 this season
@ United4Fans: Other Manchester United matches Ignoring Chelsea (English Cup semi-final) you can win every remaining game and face a possible decisive match for the top 4 against Leicester.
@ Ole20Utd: If Chelsea lose or draw against Watford and we beat Bournemouth we go fourth. There is no time to rest on one’s laurels, every game is not a must-win.
@AfuwapeOladele: Man United and Wolves for the Top 4. Chelsea and Leicester City for the Europa League next season
@ FPLGuru5: Imo #MUFC and Wolves will push Leicester Chelsea out of the top 4
