EPL final day: Five fixtures where shock results could happen as Arsenal celebrate title

Arsenal secured the 2025/2026 Premier League title after Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday, meaning the Gunners are champions without playing a final match. All 10 fixtures will be played simultaneously this Sunday, with the top five places already settled but several games still open for upsets. Crystal Palace host Arsenal at Selhurst Park; Arteta is expected to rotate his squad, giving Palace a chance to spoil the champions’ first game as title holders. Brighton face Manchester United, who may be without Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, leaving their midfield thin and boosting the Seagulls’ hopes of a win. Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah bids farewell to Anfield against Brentford, but Liverpool’s recent dip in form could allow the Bees to secure European qualification. Manchester City, still smarting from handing the title to Arsenal, take on Europa League winners Aston Villa at the Etihad in Pep Guardiola’s last match; Villa have nothing to lose and could act as party poopers. Sunderland host Chelsea at the Stadium of Light, where the home side have been hard to beat this season; Chelsea need a miracle to reach Europe and may struggle against a resilient Sunderland outfit. For Nigerian fans who follow the EPL closely, these fixtures highlight where unexpected results could shift final league positions, affect European qualification races, and influence upcoming transfer or betting decisions.
