There’s plenty still to be decided on the final day of the 2023/24 Premier League season.

Sunday will see either Manchester City or Arsenal crowned champions of England, with the Cityzens holding a two-point advantage over their nearest rivals.

There’s also European qualification to be determined for teams like Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester United, while one more side’s relegation will be confirmed at full-time.

Here’s everything that’s at stake heading into Gameweek 38.

It’s another final day shoot-out where Man City have the advantage. The Cityzens hold a two-point lead over Arsenal after winning their midweek trip to Tottenham Hotspur but must still beat West Ham United to be absolutely certain of winning a fourth Premier League title in a row.

It’s been a tight title race, one that Liverpool led for a total of 87 days – more than Man City and Arsenal‘s 76 each – before falling away from contention.

Tottenham‘s Champions League challenge petered out in disappointing fashion for Ange Postecoglou but fifth place remains an improvement on last season’s effort of eighth. Spurs need only to avoid defeat at basement side Sheffield United to retain their position and qualify for the Europa League.

Chelsea could snatch fifth if they and the Blades both win, while a draw will definitely secure sixth. However, they would then need to wait until the FA Cup final on 25 May to discover whether…
