The Premier League title is now Arsenal<\/a>‘s for the first time in 22 years, but six of the 10 games on the final day will still have something riding on them.<\/p>\n

As well as the Champions League, slots in the Europa League, Conference League and relegation are to be decided.<\/p>\n

For the final relegation place, West Ham<\/a> need a victory at home to Leeds United<\/a> to give themselves a chance.<\/p>\n

Then it is down to Tottenham<\/a>, who would need to cast aside their home hoodoo to stay in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

No team has won fewer points at home than Spurs this season, with Burnley<\/a> also on 12 points and two wins.<\/p>\n

And Roberto de Zerbi’s side will host Everton<\/a>, with only two teams winning more than the Toffees’ 26 points on the road this season.<\/p>\n

Everton<\/a>, though, now have nothing to play for.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a> and Bournemouth<\/a> will contest the last Champions League spot, though Arne Slot’s side would have to suffer a heavy loss for Bournemouth<\/a> to have any chance of overhauling them.<\/p>\n

Brighton<\/a> must win at home to Manchester United<\/a> to be sure of playing in the Europa League. If they fail to do so, they could miss out on Europe with Brentford<\/a>, and either Chelsea<\/a> or Sunderland<\/a> able to overtake them.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a>, who hold the Conference League spot in eighth, go to the Stadium of Light knowing victory could get them Europa League football, but a loss would guarantee they miss out on Europe. The Black Cats must claim a victory and hope either Brentford<\/a> fail to win or Brighton<\/a> lose.<\/p>\n

Brentford<\/a> are the only other team in contention, but they have to win at Anfield to have any chance of fighting their way back into the European spots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Premier League title is now Arsenal‘s for the first time in 22 years, but six of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":653636,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-653635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/653635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=653635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/653635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/653636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=653635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=653635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=653635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
