The final day of the Premier League season is almost here, and an entertaining and thrilling campaign for all 20 teams is drawing to a close. From those fighting for a title, to the duo battling it out to remain in the league, we take a look at what could still happen on the final day of the season.

  • First in 20, or four in four: The title race between Arsenal and Manchester City

Manchester City took a vital step towards winning their fourth title in a row, as their 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur allowed them to leapfrog Arsenal to the top of the pile, with just one game remainign for both sides. This had been expected, with Pep Guardiola's men winning both their games in hand to take this advantage, and now the Spaniard's side hold all the cards when they play West Ham United at the Etihad stadium.

Erling Haaland's double on Tuesday night may have led Mikel Arteta to feel a sinking feeling, despite a famous 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Now, Arsenal must win against Everton on Sunday if they are to have any chance of stealing the title from Manchester. The Gunners have not won a title since 2004, and now with two seasons challenging until the final gameweek's, they may be feeling aggrieved for coming so close, yet so far. However, there is still a strong chance of the title being lifted in London on Sunday.

Both teams have been imperious during the run in, with Arsenal and City both picking up five wins from their last five, with just three goals conceded between both of them. Even so, if the Sky Blues were to slip up and either draw or lose against David Moyes' West Ham side, then a win for Arsenal would hand them the coveted Premier League title. A draw would put both sides on the same points, but Arsenal's superior goal difference would still hand them the trophy they have desired for so long.

Both teams can be proud of the season they have had, with the competition between the two sides being stronger than ever. With City having the chance to become the first British side to lift four consecutive top flight titles in a row, whilst Arsenal can lift their first in 20 years, Sunday will define a new footballing era, leaving one team with an achievement they can be proud of. Key players such as Erling Haaland and Bukayo Saka will be instrumental to the outcome on Sunday.

Fixtures for the relegation battle (Kick-Off at 4pm BST on Sunday 19th May):

  • Manchester City v West Ham United
  • Arsenal v Everton

  • The Battle for 18th: Luton all but down, Forest all but safe

The relegation battle is all but over, and Luton Town seem set for the drop. Rob Edwards' side have put in an emphatic effort in their first ever Premier League season, and in a campaign where critics expected them to finish dead last, to be above the water on the final game of the season is extremely impressive. With some improbable, but not impossible, circumstances saving them from relegation, there is still a bit of light for the Hatters.

Above them are Nottingham Forest, as despite a 3-2 defeat against Chelsea last weekend, all but secured safety. With a goal difference of 12 between Forest and Luton, Nuno Espirito Santo's side may feel as if they are safe when they travel to already relegated Burnley, only needing a draw to secure their place in next years Premier League, no matter Luton's result when they host Fulham.

The only way Luton could survive is if they were to win and get a 13 goal swing in results, resulting in their potential survival being coupled with a heavy defeat for Nottingham Forest, which seems improbable. Pair that with Luton's extensive injury list, where key players like Jacob Brown and on loan Issa Kabore remain unavailable, it seems certain that Luton will end their first season returning to the Championship.

However, we should never say never with the Premier League. With a slim possibility that Forest could go down, Espirito Santo will be relying on key players like Chris Wood, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Morgan Gibbs-White to secure a victory for their away fans, and secure survival for a second season in a row. A defeat can even secure safety, as long as Luton don't win by an emphatic margin.

Fixtures for the relegation battle (Kick-Off at 4pm BST on Sunday 19th May):

  • Burnley v Nottingham Forest
  • Luton v Fulham

  • Battle for Europe: Four teams battle for two spots

There is another battle unfolding on Sunday, where a group of teams could still find themselves qualifying for the esteemed continental competitions. With Europa League and Conference League spots available, after Aston Villa stole the final spot in next years Champions League, four teams are battling for the exclusive European spots available, with some spots dependent on the outcome in the FA Cup final, where Manchester City play Manchester United. 

Tottenham Hotspur may consider the job done already. With Ange Postecoglu's men sitting in fifth place, three points ahead of sixth place Chelsea, Spurs have a guaranteed spot in a competition next season. If Manchester City win the FA Cup, then Spurs will be confirmed into the Europa League, but if Manchester United win the competition, then Spurs could find themselves in the conference league, dependent on their result when they travel to Sheffield United. However, a win should confirm Europa football.

Chelsea's late season form has allowed Mauricio Pochettino's men to all but secure a European spot as well, as they face AFC Bournemouth at home. However, unlike Spurs, they will not know which competition they are in until the result of the FA Cup final. Either way, considering their early season form, this has been an impressive end to the season for the Blues and should be something to build on in future seasons

Newcastle United are the most likely team to miss out, as they only have a 6.3% chance of Europa League football on Sunday. As they face Brentford at the GTech Community Stadium, they would need results to go their way to have a chance of securing Conference League football. However, if the Red Devils were to win the FA Cup, this would mean Newcastle would have to finish sixth to have a chance of Conference League football, giving Eddie Howe's side work to do.

Manchester United could qualify for the Conference League on Sunday, even if they were to be disappointed in the FA Cup final. A win at the Amex Stadium against Brighton, as well as other results going their way, could push Erik ten Hag and his side into the top six, guaranteeing European football, but their poor season could mean any hope of European qualification hinges on the FA Cup final, which takes place on Saturday 25th May.
