Tottenham do have a history of final day disasters, though, and the events of three years ago will keep the dream alive for Arsenal fans.

Elsewhere, there is little at stake, unfortunately, arbitrary battles for top-ten finishes notwithstanding.

Watford and West Ham have a virtual playoff for the final spot in the top half at Vicarage Road, the boost of extra prize-money perhaps more important than mid-table bragging rights with another expensive summer ahead.

Brighton vs Manchester City

Burnley vs Arsenal

Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth

Fulham vs Newcastle

Leicester vs Chelsea

Liverpool vs Wolves

Manchester United vs Cardiff

Southampton vs Huddersfield

Tottenham vs Everton

Watford vs West Ham

Got it?

Manchester City have 95 points, Liverpool have 94.

Team News - Brighton vs Manchester City

Brighton's side has an attacking look to it with plenty of creators in midfield ahead of that firm defensive unit.

Riyad Mahrez is a surprise starter for Manchester City at the end of a disappointing debut season, while there is a welcome return for Kevin De Bruyne on a star-studded bench.
