What a dramatic ending to the season in the Premier League! Congratulations to Arsenal for finally ending the 22-year wait and lifting the league title again — an incredible achievement after years of rebuilding and near misses.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa could still make history for English football in Europe. If Villa finishes the season with 5th place, the Premier League could potentially send six clubs into next season’s UEFA Champions League, which would be a huge boost for the league’s reputation
and coefficient standings.
At the bottom of the table, it has been a heartbreaking campaign for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley, both officially relegated after struggling for consistency throughout the season.
That leaves one final survival battle heading into the last day:
Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United.
Spurs currently hold a narrow two-point advantage and control their own destiny. They will host Everton at home, knowing that a win guarantees safety regardless of what happens elsewhere. However, pressure will be enormous considering the disappointing season they have endured. West Ham, on the other hand, must beat Leeds United and hope Tottenham slips up. Goal difference could also become crucial if Spurs only manage a draw.
For the final Gameweek of Fantasy Premier League, captaincy could completely decide mini-leagues because motivation levels are very different across teams especially there is World Cup in the summer.
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United)
Jarrod Bowen has recorded 8 goals and 12 assists this season, which is personally a fairly decent campaign despite West Ham United struggling near the relegation zone throughout the year. His attacking contributions have often been the main source of creativity and goals for the team.
West Ham must win to keep any realistic hope of staying in the Premier League, as they currently sit two points behind Tottenham Hotspur. Anything less than three points could confirm relegation.
If there is to be a miracle on the final day of the season, Bowen is expected to be the player who steps up and leads the team offensively. As club captain and attacking focal point, the pressure will be on him to deliver in the biggest moment of West Ham’s season.
Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth)
AFC Bournemouth continued their impressive unbeaten run with a valuable draw against Manchester City, a result that also officially confirmed Arsenal as champions of the Premier League.
Bournemouth now sits 6th in the table, three points behind Liverpool and three points ahead of Brighton & Hove Albion. However, goal difference could become a major obstacle in the race for European qualification, with Liverpool holding a +10 difference, Bournemouth at +4, and Brighton at +9. Motivation will certainly not be an issue for Bournemouth entering this crucial match to keep their UEFA Champions League hopes alive,
Eli Junior Kroupi continues to show remarkable development week after week. The young forward has now scored five goals in his last seven matches and is rapidly becoming one of the breakout stars of the season. His sharp movement, composure in front of goal, and growing confidence have started attracting serious attention, and he is expected to be heavily monitored by several major clubs during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Joao Pedro (Chelsea)
Heartbreaking news for João Pedro after being excluded from the 2026 World Cup squad despite enjoying a remarkable season with Chelsea. Considering his overall contributions and consistency throughout the campaign, many fans would have expected him to at least be included in the squad selection.
However, the disappointment could also become extra motivation heading into the final game of the season, especially with Chelsea still having plenty to fight for domestically.
Chelsea finally ended their difficult run by securing their first win in the last eight league matches during the previous Gameweek. They are now sitting 8th in the Premier League table and will travel to face Sunderland, who are just one point behind them.
The result of this match could completely shape Chelsea’s European future next season. Depending on the outcome, Chelsea could still qualify for the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League, or potentially miss out on European competition entirely.
João Pedro has registered 15 goals and 9 assists so far this season, making him one of Chelsea’s most influential attacking players. After the World Cup disappointment, there will certainly be plenty for him to prove — both for his club and on a personal level — and this final match could become a perfect stage for him to respond.
