EPL: 5 fixtures we could see shock results on 2025/2026 final day
Premier League Season Finale Set for Sunday
The 2025/2026 Premier League season will conclude this Sunday, with all 10 matches scheduled to kick off simultaneously.
Arsenal has already secured the championship title, following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on Tuesday night. The top five positions in the league table appear largely settled; however, Bournemouth remains a contender for a Champions League spot.
As the final matchday approaches, several fixtures could present potential upsets:
-
Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal: Arsenal’s recent triumph handed them the title without needing to play last week. The team has been celebrating its first championship in 22 years. Coach Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his squad, which may set the stage for an unexpected loss at Selhurst Park.
-
Brighton vs. Manchester United: Reports indicate that Manchester United may be without key players Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro for their matchup against Brighton. Their absence could leave the Red Devils’ midfield weakened, which may benefit Brighton, who has shown strong form in recent games.
-
Liverpool vs. Brentford: Mohamed Salah will make his final appearance at Anfield on Sunday, closing a successful chapter with Liverpool. However, given the team’s recent struggles, they may face a tough challenge against Brentford, who are looking to secure a place in European competition.
-
Manchester City vs. Aston Villa: Aston Villa arrives at the Etihad Stadium as the Europa League champions, while Manchester City is still grappling with the implications of conceding the title to Arsenal. This match marks Pep Guardiola’s final game in charge, and Villa could play the role of spoilers.
-
Sunderland vs. Chelsea: Sunderland has established a strong home record at the Stadium of Light this season, with few losses. They will face a Chelsea team that has been inconsistent, and the Blues will need a significant effort to secure a European spot, which appears unlikely.
The culmination of the season promises to deliver exciting matches as teams fight for pride and positioning.
