Liverpool take fifth and the Europa League slot. The sixth-place Conference League slot is still in play between Bournemouth and Brighton.

All 20 sides have played 37; one matchday remains on Sunday May 24. Recent GW37 results: Aston Villa 4-2 Liverpool (May 15), Manchester United 3-2 Nottingham Forest, Newcastle 3-1 West Ham, Leeds 1-0 Brighton, Everton 1-3 Sunderland, Brentford 2-2 Crystal Palace, Wolves 1-1 Fulham (all May 17), Arsenal 1-0 Burnley (May 18). The two catch-up fixtures on Tuesday May 19 closed out GW37: Bournemouth 1-1 Manchester City (which mathematically confirmed Arsenal&#8217;s title) and Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham (which kept the relegation question alive into the final day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-title-race\">The title race<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal are 2025-26 Premier League champions. The Gunners are on 82 points from 37 games (+43 GD, 69 GF) and cannot be caught by Manchester City, whose maximum from the final-day Aston Villa fixture is 81. The title was secured without Arsenal kicking another ball &#8212; the Bournemouth result against City closed the only path the table still had. It is Arsenal&#8217;s first Premier League title since the 2003-04 Invincibles, ending a 22-year wait. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/us\/outright-markets\/premier-league-title-odds-2025-26-who-will-win-epl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Premier League title odds<\/a> have resolved against everything except Arsenal; the live <a href=\"\/us\/news\/premier-league-winner-predictions-polymarket\/\">Polymarket market<\/a> has compressed to the resolution outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-race-for-europe\">The race for Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The top four are locked for next season&#8217;s Champions League: Arsenal (82pts), Manchester City (78), Manchester United (68) and Aston Villa (62). Liverpool finish fifth on 59 and take the Europa League slot &#8212; the gap to Aston Villa is three with one game left, so even a final-day defeat for Villa at the Etihad would not change the order on a goal-difference basis. The only open European place is sixth, the UEFA Conference League slot. Bournemouth hold it on 56 after the City draw; Brighton sit seventh on 53 with a home fixture against Manchester United still to play. For Brighton to overtake, they need to win at the Amex AND Bournemouth fail to win at Nottingham Forest, with the goal-difference gap (Bournemouth +4, Brighton +9) tilting back toward them. Final European allocations also depend on FA Cup and UEFA coefficient outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-relegation-battle\">The relegation battle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolves (19 points, 37 played) and Burnley (21 points, 37 played) are both mathematically relegated. The two close the season against each other at Turf Moor on May 24, a relegated-sides dead rubber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third relegation place runs between Tottenham (17th, 38 points) and West Ham (18th, 36 points). A point for Tottenham at home to Everton would secure Premier League survival unless West Ham manages to overturn Spurs&#8217;s superior goal difference. The clean West Ham route is to beat Leeds at home AND Tottenham to lose at home to Everton &#8212; that delivers West Ham 39 points to Spurs&#8217;s 38 and drops Spurs into the bottom three. A win for Spurs guarantees their Premier League status regardless of what goes on at the London Stadium. Both clubs play at home, five miles apart, kicking off at 16:00 BST.
