The curtain drops as the 2024/2025 Premier League season comes to a close on Sunday, May 25, bringing to an end another action-packed campaign filled with triumph, heartbreak, and unforgettable moments.
Liverpool have been officially crowned champions, while Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton have been relegated to the Championship.
Despite some key outcomes already confirmed, the battle for the three remaining UEFA Champions League spots adds a crucial layer of suspense to the final day.
With several high-stakes fixtures on the calendar, fans can expect late drama, surprising upsets, and emotional farewells.
Key Matches to Watch on Premier League Final Day
1. Southampton vs Arsenal – St. Mary’s Stadium
While Southampton are already relegated, and Arsenal are mathematically secure in second place, this fixture still carries emotional weight.
The Saints may look to end a disappointing campaign on a high by upsetting the Gunners. Arsenal, on the other hand, have looked flat in recent weeks and could be vulnerable to an upset.
