The Premier League season concludes on Sunday with Arsenal already confirmed as champions, yet several subplots remain unsettled. European qualification spots are still up for grabs, and the identity of the bottom-placed club is yet to be determined, adding an edge to the final round of fixtures.
Brighton's hopes of securing a second-ever European campaign rest on overcoming Manchester United at the Amex Stadium. United have nothing to play for and have lost on three of their past four league visits to Brighton, including a 4-0 defeat in 2022. Danny Welbeck, with 13 league goals, could prove pivotal against his former club, though Ollie Watkins leads the English scoring charts with 14.
Burnley and Wolves contest the wooden spoon, with the loser earning an extra £2m in prize money for finishing 19th. Their combined points would leave them 17th, underlining a difficult season for both. Wolves began bottom in alphabetical order and a win at Turf Moor would lift them off the foot for the first time.
At Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace face Arsenal in a match that carries little competitive weight but much sentimental value. Arsenal will celebrate their title triumph, while Oliver Glasner takes charge of Palace for the final time before preparing for the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano. Both sides are expected to make changes.
Fulham's match against Newcastle could be Marco Silva's last in charge, with strong links to Benfica. The Portuguese manager has not coached in his homeland since 2015, when he was sacked by Sporting for not wearing a club suit. Fulham are reportedly considering Filipe Luís as a replacement.
Liverpool need results to secure Champions League football, with Bournemouth still mathematically alive. The match at Anfield may feature emotional farewells for Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, while Jordan Henderson's return to his former ground offers a chance for fans to acknowledge his captaincy contribution. Keith Andrews could lead Brentford to a surprise European spot.
