Premier League: West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur are fighting to escape the final relegation position ahead of the season’s last matches on Sunday, when English soccer will also say goodbye to Pep Guardiola and Mohamed Salah.
West Ham must secure its 14-year stay in the top division. Sitting third from bottom and two points behind Tottenham with a goal difference 12 worse, the east London club needs to defeat Leeds United at home and hope Tottenham loses at home to Everton.
Tottenham has not played in the second tier since the 1977-78 campaign and would represent the most prominent club relegated from the top flight in many years.
With Arsenal already crowned champions, attention turns to the battle for the last European places. Sixth position may secure Champions League football if Aston Villa, winners of the Europa League, ends fifth.
For Villa to slip from fourth to fifth and Liverpool to rise from fifth to fourth, Villa must lose to Manchester City while Liverpool beats Brentford. Bournemouth, visiting Nottingham Forest, sits sixth, three points clear of seventh-placed Brighton, who host Manchester United.
Pep Guardiola will manage his final match for Manchester City after a decade of success. Bernardo Silva and John Stones are also departing, promising an emotional day at the Etihad Stadium.
