Leeds secured a 3-0 victory over Wolves earlier today, with James Justin and Noah Okafor scoring in the first two minutes and Dominic Calvert-Lewin adding a stoppage-time penalty. The win gives Leeds a nine-point cushion over the relegation zone and all but guarantees their Premier League survival. Wolves, rooted at the bottom with just three wins from 33 games, face near-certain relegation if Tottenham avoid defeat against Brighton later today.

Elsewhere, Bournemouth beat Newcastle 2-1 to extend their unbeaten run to 13 matches and climb to eighth, within four points of Champions League places. Newcastle remain 14th, with European hopes fading. Brentford and Fulham played to a goalless draw, leaving Chelsea needing a win over Manchester United to revive their top-four chase. Arsenal travel to Manchester City on Sunday in a title-deciding clash, with the Gunners holding a six-point lead but City having a game in hand.

For Nigerian EPL fans, the weekend’s results shape the battle for survival, European qualification, and the title race. Will Tottenham’s win over Brighton seal Wolves’ fate? Can Bournemouth push for Europe, and will Arsenal hold off City? Keep an eye on Saturday’s late fixtures and Sunday’s showdown to see how the season’s final drama unfolds.
