The Premier League has confirmed there will be a third-place play-off match between Chelsea and Arsenal if the pair end the season with identical records.
If Chelsea draw 0-0 on the final day of the season and Arsenal win 2-1, they will be level on points, goal difference and goals scored.
The play-off winner would automatically reach the Champions League group stage. "It would be played at a neutral ground on a date and venue to be determined," added a Premier League spokesman.
