EPL Final Day: Tottenham Fight for Survival, Other Shock Results Expected

 

The curtain will fall on the 2025/2026 Premier League season this Sunday with all 10 matches kicking off simultaneously, as attention shifts from the title race to battles for survival, European qualification and possible final-day upsets.

Arsenal have already been confirmed champions after Manchester City’s 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on Tuesday night handed Mikel Arteta’s men their first league title in 22 years.

While the top five positions appear almost settled, Bournemouth still retain slim hopes of sneaking into the Champions League places, setting the stage for a tense and dramatic finale across the league.

One of the biggest talking points will be at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Tottenham face Everton in a must-win encounter to avoid relegation.

Spurs head into the decisive clash after a painful 2-1 defeat to Chelsea, while Everton also suffered a 3-1 home loss to Sunderland. The North London club now have their survival firmly in their own hands — victory against Everton guarantees Premier League football next season, while any slip could prove disastrous.

Everton, on the other hand, will be aiming to end the campaign strongly and potentially secure a top-half finish.

Beyond the survival battle, several fixtures are already being tipped to produce shock outcomes on the final day.

At Selhurst Park, newly crowned champions Arsenal could stumble against Crystal Palace after a week-long title celebration and expected squad rotation from Arteta.

Manchester United’s trip to Brighton also looks tricky, with reports suggesting Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro could miss the encounter, leaving the Red Devils vulnerable against an in-form Seagulls side.

Liverpool’s clash with Brentford carries emotional significance as Mohamed Salah is expected to make his final appearance at Anfield. However, the Reds’ inconsistent form could hand Brentford an opportunity to strengthen their push for European football.

At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City host Aston Villa in what will be Pep Guardiola’s final game in charge. Villa arrive buoyed by their Europa League triumph and could spoil City’s farewell party after the champions surrendered the title to Arsenal.

Another potential upset could come at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland host Chelsea. Sunderland have turned their home ground into a fortress this season, while Chelsea’s inconsistent form has left their hopes of qualifying for Europe hanging by a thread.

With survival, pride, European places and emotional farewells all on the line, the Premier League’s final day promises high tension and plenty of drama.
