The 2025-26 Premier League season reaches its conclusion on Sunday May 24 with every match kicking off at 16:00 BST. Arsenal have already clinched the title, but there is still plenty to play for. Tottenham face the most important match in their recent history, West Ham are fighting for survival, Pep Guardiola bids farewell to Manchester City, and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson prepare for their Anfield departures. Here is a comprehensive look at every final day fixture with predictions, odds and betting tips.
Final Day 2026: Everything at Stake
The title race is over. Arsenal secured their first Premier League championship since 2004 when Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth last weekend, ending a 22-year wait that defined a generation of the club's supporters. Mikel Arteta's side now travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace, where the trophy presentation will take place after the match.
But while the championship is settled, the drama at the bottom of the table is anything but. Tottenham and West Ham are locked in a relegation battle that will be decided in 90 minutes. Spurs sit 17th on 38 points, two ahead of 18th-placed West Ham on 36 points. Tottenham's vastly superior goal difference means a draw against Everton guarantees safety, but their home form this season has been nothing short of catastrophic.
At the top of the table, the final Champions League spots are also at stake. Manchester United's top-four finish is secure, but the positions below them could still shift. Every point matters for prize money, European qualification and the narrative that will define each club's summer.
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Prediction
Kick-off: 16:00 BST, Selhurst Park
TV: Sky Sports Premier League
This match is a party for Arsenal and a dead rubber for Crystal Palace, which makes predicting it both straightforward and dangerous. Arsenal have nothing to play for in terms of the table, but they have everything to play for in terms of the occasion. Arteta will want a performance worthy of champions, and his players will want to lift the trophy after a victory.
The likely approach from Arsenal is a strong starting lineup for the first hour, followed by substitutions to give squad players and departing staff a moment on the pitch. The intensity will not be at its peak, but the quality will be high enough to break down a Palace side with nothing to play for.
Crystal Palace under Oliver Glasner have been decent at home but have drifted since securing mid-table safety. The energy in the stadium will be unusual: a home crowd watching the away team celebrate a title. It is not an environment that typically produces a fierce home performance.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-2 Arsenal
Odds: Arsenal 4/6, Draw 3/1, Palace 4/1
Tottenham vs Everton Prediction
Kick-off: 16:00 BST, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
TV: Sky Sports Main Event
This is the match of the day, and arguably the biggest match in Tottenham's modern history. Spurs need a point to guarantee Premier League survival, but their home form this season has been historically bad. Two wins at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium all season, a 10-match winless run on home soil, and a squad that has lost all confidence in front of its own supporters.
The mathematical reality favors Tottenham. They are two points clear of West Ham with a far superior goal difference, so even a draw gets the job done. But this is Spurs, a club that has a unique talent for turning straightforward situations into crises. The atmosphere will be tense, nervous and unlike anything the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has experienced since it opened.
Everton arrive with nothing tangible to play for but with a manager in David Moyes who has publicly stated his intention to do everything possible to help West Ham survive. The Everton squad has quality: they beat Spurs 3-0 earlier in the season, and Moyes has steadied the ship since returning to Goodison Park. They are more than capable of getting a result.
The key tactical question is how Tottenham approach the game. Play cautiously and they risk inviting pressure onto a defense that has conceded 72 goals this season. Play openly and they risk being picked off on the counter-attack by an Everton side with pace in wide areas. There is no easy answer for a team that has won just twice at home in eight months.
The saving grace for Spurs is that Everton have been poor away from home all season. Their away record is among the worst in the division, and the motivation to perform in a relegation-deciding match is far greater for Tottenham than for a mid-table Everton side with nothing on the line.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Everton
Odds: Tottenham 5/4, Draw 12/5, Everton 9/4
West Ham vs Leeds Prediction
Kick-off: 16:00 BST, London Stadium
West Ham's situation is brutally simple. They must beat Leeds and hope Tottenham lose. Even then, goal difference means they need Spurs to lose by a significant margin if the Hammers only win narrowly. The odds are stacked against them, but the London Stadium crowd will generate an atmosphere that gives them every chance.
David Moyes has made a point of saying he will do his utmost to help West Ham, and his Everton side can do the Hammers a favor by getting a result at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. But West Ham's fate is ultimately in their own hands: beat Leeds and hope for the best elsewhere.
Leeds have been inconsistent this season but showed flashes of quality under their management. They have enough attacking talent to trouble a West Ham defense that has been porous all season. The Hammers have conceded 74 goals in the Premier League this term, the second-worst record in the division behind only Southampton.
The emotional dynamic is crucial here. West Ham's players will either be galvanized by the desperation of their situation or paralyzed by it. The crowd at the London Stadium will be loud, but it can quickly turn toxic if things go wrong. Early goal for West Ham and the roof comes off. Early goal for Leeds and the atmosphere turns.
Prediction: West Ham 2-1 Leeds
Odds: West Ham 4/5, Draw 5/2, Leeds 3/1
Man City vs Bournemouth Prediction
Kick-off: 16:00 BST, Etihad Stadium
This is Pep Guardiola's farewell. After 10 years, 17 major trophies and a complete redefinition of what Manchester City are as a football club, the greatest manager of the Premier League era will take charge of his final match at the Etihad. The occasion will be emotional, celebratory and, in all likelihood, one-sided.
City's players will want to send Guardiola off with a victory, and Bournemouth have nothing to play for. The Cherries secured their Premier League status weeks ago and can approach this match with the freedom of a team under no pressure. That freedom can sometimes produce surprises, but the weight of Guardiola's farewell, combined with City's quality at home, makes a home win the overwhelming probability.
Erling Haaland also has the Golden Boot to seal. He leads the race with 27 goals and will be determined to add to his tally in what could be his final match under Guardiola. Expect City to feed him early and often.
The tactical setup will be pure Guardiola: possession dominance, positional play, waves of attacking pressure. Bournemouth will sit deep and try to counter, which has worked against City on occasion this season. But not at the Etihad, and not on a day like this.
Prediction: Man City 3-0 Bournemouth
Odds: Man City 1/4, Draw 5/1, Bournemouth 12/1
Liverpool vs Wolves Prediction
Kick-off: 16:00 BST, Anfield
This match marks the end of an era at Anfield. Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson will play their final Premier League matches for Liverpool, bringing the curtain down on careers that have defined the club's success under Jurgen Klopp and beyond. The atmosphere will be emotional, the send-off will be fitting, and the result will almost certainly go Liverpool's way.
Wolves have been safe for weeks and have nothing to play for. Liverpool, while not in the title race, will want to give Salah and Robertson a proper farewell. The Egyptian forward has been one of the greatest players in the club's history, and Robertson's transformation from a Hull City left-back to a Liverpool legend is one of the most remarkable career arcs in modern football.
Expect goals. Liverpool's attacking output has remained strong all season, and the occasion will push the team forward. Salah will want to sign off with a goal, and the team will be determined to provide him with the chances.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Wolves
Odds: Liverpool 2/5, Draw 7/2, Wolves 6/1
Other Final Day Fixtures
The remaining matches on the final day carry less drama but still matter for final standings, prize money and European places.
Aston Villa vs Brighton: Villa celebrate their Europa League triumph and a strong domestic season. Brighton have been disappointing and will want to end on a positive note. Prediction: Aston Villa 2-0 Brighton.
Brentford vs Nottingham Forest: Two teams with excellent seasons looking to finish strongly. Brentford's Igor Thiago has been outstanding and may want to add to his tally. Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White has also been superb. Prediction: Brentford 1-1 Nottingham Forest.
Fulham vs Newcastle: Fulham's season has been steady under Marco Silva, who faces a decision on his future. Newcastle have been inconsistent but have the quality to get a result. Prediction: Fulham 1-1 Newcastle.
Southampton vs Ipswich: The bottom two meet in a match that means nothing for either side. Southampton have been the worst team in the division and return to the Championship. Ipswich will also drop down. Prediction: Southampton 0-1 Ipswich.
Best Bets and Acca Picks
For those looking to bet on the final day, here are the strongest selections based on form, motivation and odds value.
Best single bet: Arsenal to beat Crystal Palace at 4/6. Champions playing with freedom against a mid-table side with nothing to play for. The odds underestimate Arsenal's motivation to win on trophy day.
Best value bet: Both teams to score in Tottenham vs Everton at 4/5. Spurs' home defensive record is atrocious, and Everton have enough quality to score. But Tottenham's desperation should also produce a goal.
Best longshot: West Ham to beat Leeds and Tottenham to lose at 10/1. It requires two specific results, but the individual legs are both plausible. West Ham at home against Leeds is close to even money, and Everton are capable of getting a result at Spurs given the host's wretched home form.
Safe acca: Arsenal win, Man City win, Liverpool win at approximately 2/1. Three heavy favorites playing at home (or away, in Arsenal's case, against a Palace side with nothing to play for) on a day of emotional motivation. The combined odds offer reasonable value for three results that all have a probability above 60 percent.
Haaland anytime goalscorer: The Norwegian has 27 goals and will be desperate to seal the Golden Boot in Guardiola's farewell match. At around 1/3, it is not a value play, but it is about as close to a certainty as the final day offers.
The 2025-26 Premier League season has been one of the most dramatic in years. Arsenal's long-awaited title, Tottenham's inexplicable collapse, Guardiola's departure, Fernandes's historic individual campaign. The final day on Sunday promises to deliver one last chapter of drama before the football world turns its attention to the World Cup.
