After seven rounds of the league stage, five Premier League teams rank among the top eight, showcasing formidable form. 

Whether six teams can achieve the feat of advancing to the top eight hinges on Manchester City maintaining momentum to overtake Barcelona and Sporting CP on goal difference.

Newcastle must defeat Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool all secure victories over their respective opponents.
