Today's football predictions for 24 May 2026: English Premier League 2025-26 final day analysis, selecting five major matches worth watching, plus today's match schedule.
Today's football predictions for 24 May 2026 cover the Premier League schedule, including battles for next season's UEFA Champions League spots. Some matches will also impact relegation battles. Here is the analysis along with expected results for these five key games.
In this match, Liverpool must defeat Brentford and hope Aston Villa loses to Manchester City to overtake them for 4th place. At worst, Liverpool need at least a point to guarantee Champions League qualification for next season. However, it won't be easy since Brentford also has European qualification ambitions.
Prediction: Slightly confident Liverpool win
Manchester United's 'Red Devils' have nothing to fight for in the standings, having secured 3rd place and Champions League qualification comfortably. The focus is on Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese captain, who aims to add one more assist to break the single-season assist record. Meanwhile, Brighton must win to keep their Europa League qualification hopes alive.
Prediction: Visiting team to finish strongly
Hosts Crystal Palace are safe from relegation. Arsenal, the 'Gunners', are both mentally and officially champions of the 2025-26 Premier League, ending their 22-year wait for the top-flight title. They now aim to match their record of 19 clean sheets in a single season.
Prediction: Trust the Gunners
Manchester City, the 'Citizens', have no chance to catch Arsenal's points, so they will finish as runners-up. This will be Pep Guardiola's final match managing the team before his departure. Players are expected to give their all to send off their coach with a win. Erling Braut Haaland is also aiming to secure his second consecutive Golden Boot award.
Prediction: Citizens won't slip up
Tottenham Hotspur's final match is not an easy one as they face strong opponents, Everton, at home. Spurs must win to guarantee their Premier League survival or at least draw to be almost certain to avoid relegation. Everton, without any stakes, might either play conservatively or push hard to try and win away.
Prediction: Depends on Spurs and other results
