Premier League live: Latest updates as Spurs take lead and West Ham heading down ...Middle East

Arsenal may have already clinched the 2025-26 Premier League title, but there is plenty still to play for in several hotly contested fixtures across the country today as another enthralling season in England’s top flight reaches its final act.

Multiple spots in Europe are still up for grabs, some between clubs going head to head this very afternoon, while at the other end of the league table Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham take to the field in their respective homes knowing only one of them will survive relegation.

There is a full slate of games kicking off at the same time, as is customary for the last day of the campaign, and we’ll have eyes on the action across the country to deliver all the latest updates and expert analysis, right here.

‘Spurs now 45 minutes from safety’

Reporting from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

A very big sigh of relief at half time but Spurs have been much better.

Forty-five minutes to keep themselves in the Premier League.

‘Low-key first half at the Etihad’

Reporting from the Etihad Stadium

As low-key as you’d imagine here at the Etihad. Aston Villa still clearly nursing that Europa League hangover. All eyes will be on Pep for the remainder. Can he keep it together?

1-0 to Man City as half-time.

‘Pablo wasteful as West Ham in trouble at HT’

Reporting from the London Stadium

Pablo smashes one into side netting. Wouldn’t have counted anyway but sums up the short career of a player who looks a yard (or three) off predator pace.

He did not bring himself to West Ham but his recruitment in January is a contributory factor in this club’s decline. West Ham need goals and Pablo neither looks like scoring nor providing.

The Hammers are level with Leeds at the break, and going down to the Championship as it stands with Spurs leading Everton.

Mbeumo doubles Man Utd lead at Brighton, Jesus puts Arsenal ahead at Palace

Around the same time as that Spurs opener went in, Gabriel Jesus put champions Arsenal ahead at Crystal Palace and Bryan Mbeumo has doubled Manchester United’s lead over Brighton and Hove Albion to 2-0.

Brighton’s chances of leapfrogging Bournemouth to finish sixth are looking increasingly slim, at the moment.

Spurs take lead against Everton, West Ham down as it stands

Tottenham have taken the lead over Everton!

If the scores stay like this, Spurs are safe.

Joao Palhinha heads against the post from a corner delivery, the rebound fortuitously comes right back to him and he pokes the ball into the back of the net.

Bruno Fernandes sets new Premier League assist record

Bruno Fernandes swung in the corner from which Patrick Dorgu opened the scoring a few minutes ago, meaning the Manchester United captain now has his 21st Premier League assist of the season.

That’s one more than the 20 that ex-Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry managed, meaning Fernandes is now the outright record holder for most assists in a single Premier League season.

Can he add any more to his tally before the end of the afternoon?

Goals at Forest and Brighton impacting race for Europe

Morgan Gibbs-White has just netted his 15th Premier League goal of the season to put Nottingham Forest ahead against 17-match-unbeaten European contenders Bournemouth.

Are you watching, Thomas Tuchel?

Meanwhile at Brighton, Patrick Dorgu has scored to give Manchester United the lead.

That news will be welcomed by Bournemouth supporters, as the Seagulls are the only side capable of matching their points total.

Any guesses for who set Dorgu up?

‘Missed chances mean jitters may start soon for Spurs’

Reporting from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham have absolutely had the best of the opening quarter (before the World Cup-style cooling break), but their three chances have fallen to players no supporter would have chosen: Palhinha, Danso and Gallagher.

Although there is no bad news from West Ham, we have just heard the first murmur of groans and gripes as Everton built up momentum for more than a minute.

‘Spurs have the momentum’

Reporting from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

All the momentum is with Spurs, barring a couple of Everton breaks.

Everton have had such a punishing season on a very small squad they already look like they’re waiting for the final whistle.

If the scores stay like this here and at the London Stadium, where West Ham are level with Leeds, Tottenham are safe. If the Hammers score, Spurs must do so as well.

‘West Ham still searching for opener’

Reporting from the London Stadium

Drinks at the London Stadium. Nuno prompting, Hammers legend Sir Trevor Brooking looking on pensively.

If West Ham are to prevail, Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes look to be the most likely authors at present.

‘Europe-chasing Sunderland take lead against Chelsea’

Reporting from the Stadium of Light

GOAL! Sunderland take a thoroughly deserved lead here at the Stadium of Light and the roof has just come off the stadium.

Trai Hume’s volley beat Robert Sanchez all ends up and they’re singing about Europe here on Wearside…

‘Guardiola’s calm reaction to City opener’

Reporting from the Etihad Stadium

Pep doesn’t even get out of his seat as Semenyo nudges City in front.

Yep, he’s done alright. He does come alive in the drinks break that follows, however. Never one to miss an over-zealous team talk.

European race heating up with City ahead against Villa

The goals are starting to flow, now!

Antoine Semenyo has given Manchester City the lead against Aston Villa in a game that means precious little for either of these two clubs.

Villa finishing fifth – which would happen if they lose at the Etihad and Liverpool beat Brentford – would unlock an additional Champions League spot for the team that ends up sixth, though, which is currently Bournemouth.

Liverpool went close twice in the last few minutes, with Mohamed Salah – playing his last ever game for the Reds – hitting the post with a free-kick before Dominik Szoboszlai lashed an effort wide.

Fulham lead Newcastle

We have our second goal of the day, albeit not in a game where Europe or relegation is on the line!

It comes at Fulham, where Kevin hit the crossbar with a free-kick before Issa Diop headed the rebound past Newcastle goalie Nick Pope.

West Ham go close

West Ham go close to an opener against Leeds, as Pablo Felipe’s strike is deflected over the crossbar.

The Hammers are knocking on the door.

Still goalless at the London Stadium, though, as it is between Tottenham and Everton.

‘Leeds fans taunting West Ham already’

Reporting from the London Stadium

“Stand up if you’re staying up,” shout the Leeds fans, who are all naturally on their feet.

West Ham have 80 minutes left to stand up for themselves, and hope that Spurs fail to do the same against Everton.

Leeds’ Jaka Bijol earns an early yellow card for a late challenge on Taty Castellanos.

‘Sunderland up for it in European shoot-out with Chelsea’

Reporting from the Stadium of Light

The noise here at the Stadium of Light is something else.

Sunderland have Europe in their sights – win here and it’s very much on – and fans welcomed the coach in with flares and by lining the route to the stadium.

They feel something special is possible today and have set about Chelsea. Enzo Le Fee just stung Robert Sanchez’s palms with a good drive. They look up for it….

Wolves open the final day scoring

Wolves are the first of the 20 Premier League teams to score today!

The Old Gold were awarded an early penalty after a VAR review and Adam Armstrong slotted it home in the fifth minute.

A win would take them above today’s opponents and fellow relegation sufferers Burnley, so there’s something to play for at Turf Moor even though both clubs are going down!

All eyes on relegation battle in London

Spurs have fashioned a few early chances here but are yet to find a breakthrough.

West Ham vs Leeds the cagier of the two ties involved in this relegation scrap in the opening minutes.
