Another Premier League season draws to a crescendo, with 10 simultaneous kick-offs scheduled for this afternoon. Numerous clubs already know where they're destined to end up regardless of Sunday's results, while others are still fighting for riches.
[Aston Villa](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/all-about/aston-villa-fc) and Liverpool are still battling it out to claim fourth place, with Unai Emery's side in pole position being three points ahead of Arne Slot's Reds.
There's something at stake for most Premier League teams because clubs earn more money for every position they climb in the final Premier League pecking order.
The amount distributed per position changes year-on-year and can be influenced by inflation and other variables.
Last season's figure was between £2.6m and £2.7m, which is what last-place Southampton earned, along with around £100m more in rewards.
Around £90m of that is made up of international and domestic broadcast revenue, which is divided equally between the 20 teams. In addition, each outfit also received £7.9m from central commercial revenue streams, which is expected to be much the same this term.
Clubs then receive merit payments based on their league finish and facility fees based on how often their games were televised throughout the season. Naturally, some of the bigger clubs will receive a greater share of this fund due to the fact they're more desirable to broadcast.
Arsenal will be due the biggest cut of the prize money pie after winning their first league title since 2004. This is likely to come out to around £54m, while runners-up Manchester City will receive roughly £2.7m less than that, and so on and so forth.

1\. Arsenal - £54m
2\. Manchester City - £51.3m
