Newcastle v Everton, Fulham v Manchester City, and more: Premier League final day - live

12m ago 10.37 EDT Premier League clubs Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton will play two matches against Charlton in 2025-26. Sure, that’s one of the more contrived links of the season but it allows us to post John Brewin’s report from the League One playoff final at Wembley: Charlton 1-0 Leyton Orient.

14m ago 10.36 EDT Twenty clubs, twenty fans, twenty verdicts. I had no idea Mystic Meg was a Kopite. Liverpool It’s been a blast from start to finish. The loss to Forest at home in our fourth game was the smallest of dips and early enough not to matter. We were top by the start of November and stayed there, an incredible achievement and a “think again” for every pundit and talking head who predicted we’d do well to finish in the top four. Winning with four games still to go has turned the last few weeks of the season into a party, with the visit of FA Cup winners Palace still to come. Was it expected? By some of us, yes. 10/10 Premier League 2024-25 fans’ verdicts: stars, flops, and the most loved referees Read more Share

28m ago 10.21 EDT David Hytner Daniel Levy did mention Ange Postecoglou in his Tottenham programme notes ahead of today’s Brighton game, which is more than he did at the end of March when he gave a statement to accompany the club’s financial report. The chairman thanked Postecoglou and his players for delivering Europa League glory. But there was nothing more, no clues as to what he intends to do with the manager now. At best, it feels as though Levy has moved to buy himself a bit of time. Share

1h ago 09.49 EDT It’s great when you’re eighth... yeah There may yet be a Conference League place for the team that finishes eighth. And that team will be Brighton, just as long as they get at least a draw away to a team who have justifiably spent the last few days imbibing pints of 17 Year Itch. Should Spurs beat Brighton, Brentford will go above them if they win at Wolves. For the team in eighth to qualify, two things need to happen. Chelsea win the Conference League and Chelsea finish seventh in the Premier League (which isn’t beyond the realms) or Chelsea finish sixth and Newcastle seventh. The latter is mathematically possible but let’s not go there again. Share

1h ago 09.47 EDT Champions League permutations Manchester City will qualify if they drew at Fulham. Mathematicians will tell you otherwise, but they need to live a little. If you said 420 to them the first think they’d think is ‘60 x 7’, could also be 105 x 4’.

Newcastle need to beat Everton to be sure of finishing in the top five. A draw will be enough if Aston Villa fail to win at Old Trafford or Chelsea draw at the City Ground.

Chelsea must – must – beat Nottingham Forest at the City Ground to be sure. A draw will only be enough if Villa fail to win at Old Trafford or Newcastle suffer death by Moyes at St James’ Park.

Aston Villa will qualify if they beat Man Utd and one of the following happens: Man City lose at Fulham, Newcastle fail to win, Chelsea fail to win. A draw could be good enough, but only in the sense that Donald Trump could wake up tomorrow morning with the temperament of the Dalai Lama.

Nottingham Forest need to beat Chelsea and hope that Newcastle or Villa fail to win. Confused? Of course you are, that’s the whole point of permutations.
