Bournemouth vs Leicester - 16:00 - Sunday 25th May 2025

Bournemouth @ 4/11 Draw @ 9/2 Leicester @ 15/2

Bournemouth: DDWLL

Leicester: LLWDW

Bournemouth welcome Leicester to the Vitality Stadium in their final game of the season, with neither side playing for anything other than pride.

The Cherries come into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City in Kevin De Bruyne's final game for City.

On Kevin De Bruyne’s final home appearance it was Omar Marmoush who stole the limelight, with the Egyptian’s 14th minute stunner from 25 yards out giving City the lead.

De Bruyne followed that up with one of the misses of the season as his left footed effort from Marmoush’s ball across the box struck the underside of the crossbar.

At the other end Evanilson struck the bar with a sliding effort after a great ball from Marcus Tavernier.

Bernardo Silva doubled City’s lead in the 38th minute, when Ilkay Gundogan’s cutback found the Portuguese, who was left with a simple tap in.

The Cherries were handed a way back into the game when Mateo Kovacic was given a straight red card for a pull back on Evanilson in the 67th minute.

But that advantage lasted just six minutes when Lewis Cook was given a straight red card for a late challenge on substitute Nico Gonzalez.

City sealed the three points with a minute remaining with Nico Gonzalez’s thundering strike (89).

Bournemouth did manage to grab a consolation goal in the sixth minute of injury time, when Daniel Jebbison pounced on a terrible mistake from Matheus Nunes to end the game 3-1.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola told BBC Match of the Day:

"We would have loved even to take it to the last game [a chance of Europe], even with some possibilities.

We knew that it was today very difficult because it was not only this result, we needed a lot more.

I don't think we've been bad, we needed to be at our very, very best to beat City today because I think they started the game very focused.

I think they even rested some players the other day, thinking that today was big for them. You could see from the beginning that it was going to be tough."

In these kinds of stadiums, against this kind of opposition, you need the key moments to go to your side.

Evanilson hit the post which could have made it 1-1, and then also the second red card when we were in a good situation with time to play against 10 players, instead straight away it is 10 against 10 and everything goes even.

I think our red card, you have to understand it. Lewis arrived, it was not a 50-50 ball, he arrives first and then tries to pull out, and this pulling out probably makes it look worse because he raises his foot and the contact is higher.”

200th Goal For Vardy

Jamie Vardy marked his Foxes farewell with 200th goal in his 500th appearance for the club.

Leif Davies went close to a breakthrough when his left footed effort at the second time of asking smashed into the near post of Foxes keeper Jakub Stolarczyk.

Jamie Vardy when close at the other end, as the striker swept his effort into the side netting after grappling with Ipswich skipper Sam Morsy.

Vardy did get his 200th goal for the club in the 27th minute, with the striker slotting his right footed effort from a James Justin pass beyond Alex Palmer to make it 1-0.

Jordan Ayew went close to doubling their lead moments later, but the former Palace man’s driving run and strike was deflected wide at the last minute by Dara O’Shea.

Stolarczyk did his best to hand Ipswich a cheap goal when he was caught doddling on the ball by Enciso, but luckily for the keeper Enciso couldn’t capitalise on that mistake as his chip fell safely back into the arms of the Pole.

Leicester doubled their lead in the 69th minute through Kasey McAteer, with the youngster firing Wilfried Ndidi’s pass home from a tight angle, after hitting the post moments before.

Ruud van Nistelrooy praised Jamie Vardy when he spoke to LCFCTV for always stepping up to the big occasion after our No.9 continued making history on his final-ever Leicester City appearance:

“That’s not easy. Only the best can do that when it’s needed and that’s what he does. He focuses on that and achieving things. He puts his mind into his and then he does it.

That’s not possible for many people. If you look at the amount of games, the amount of goals, the silverware he’s won for the Club, but also individually, his personality as well, he’s a special person.

There were some good spells in the game. I think, overall, we gave away quite a few opportunities and chances back to Ipswich.

We could have done better in a couple of moments there, where we didn’t defend or press the ball as we should.

Of course, we are still bitterly disappointed with the relegation. We feel bad we couldn’t do better earlier.

But, of course, we’re changing the narrative and the focus on next season, giving young and homegrown players a chance and an opportunity, they are doing really well and helping the team.”

Fulham vs Man City - 16:00 - Sunday 25th May 2025

Fulham @ 9/2 Draw @ 7/2 Man City @ 3/5

Fulham: LWLLW

Man City: WWWDW

Fulham welcome Manchester City to Craven Cottage this weekend, with Man City looking to confirm their place in the Champions League next season.

Marco Silva's men come into the game on the back of an impressive 3-2 comeback win over West London rivals Brentford.

Raul Jimenez’s 16th minute header allowed Fulham to draw first blood in the West London derby, with the striker rising highest to head Alex Iwobi’s deflected cross.

That lead lasted just six minutes when Bryan Mbeumo’s right footed effort across goal levelled the scoring in the 22nd minute, with Yoane Wissa grabbing the assist.

The Bees were awarded a penalty in the 28th minute when Joachim Anderson clumsily felled Kevin Schade in the penalty area.

Mbeumo stepped up but he saw his penalty saved by Leno, who guessed correctly by diving low to his right.

Brentford did find a second just before the break (43), as Yoane Wissa scrambled the ball over the line to make it 2-1 to the hosts.

Skipper Tom Cairney popped up with a header in the 68th minute to draw Fulham level at 2-2.

Two minutes later the comeback was complete, as Harry Wilson scored his third goal of the season against Brentford with a stunning left footed effort from 25 yards out to secure a memorable 3-2 win for Marco Silva’s side (70).

Marco Silva told FFCTV that he has been targeting breaking Fulham’s record Premier League points tally since winning promotion to the top flight, and so was delighted to do it with a derby victory over Brentford:

“It’s something that this group has to be proud of. We never hide ourselves. That was one of the targets for the season, was a goal that we wanted to achieve.

From the first moment, two seasons ago, we were really close to achieving it. It was always something that we have been speaking as a goal for us.

It was a balanced game first half. Of course, our goal was important. We have to be angry with ourselves that we conceded the second goal, more than the first.

We cannot concede two games in a row, goals from a long throw, at this level that we are playing, and we have to be angry with us.

But the reality is that the second half response from us was top. The players, they trusted, they believed. The speech at half-time was good, and I told them that we cannot concede another goal, that we are going to have chances.

We have players on the bench that can make an impact, and the reality is that we scored two great goals and we won the game from the response in the second half.

I think we deserved it – we kept them really quiet second half, we took the control of the game. Okay, they reacted after the 3-2, it’s normal, they’re playing home and it was a must-win game for them, too, like it was for us. And we won the game.”

Marmoush Stunner Signs Off De Bruyne Era

Omar Marmoush's stunner stole the show as Kevin De Bruyne bid farewell to Etihad.

On Kevin De Bruyne’s final home appearance it was Omar Marmoush who stole the limelight, with the Egyptian’s 14th minute stunner from 25 yards out giving City the lead.

De Bruyne followed that up with one of the misses of the season as his left footed effort from Marmoush’s ball across the box struck the underside of the crossbar.

City sealed the three points with a minute remaining with Nico Gonzalez’s thundering strike (89).

Bournemouth did manage to grab a consolation goal in the sixth minute of injury time, when Daniel Jebbison pounced on a terrible mistake from Matheus Nunes to end the game 3-1.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola gave his post match thoughts to Sky Sports:

"It's a pity that against Southampton we couldn't collect the points. Now it would be already done.

On Sunday we have a tough opponent [Fulham]. We go there to win to take the point we need to be next season in the Champions League.

The most important thing was to win the game and we did it against an incredible opponent. They destroyed us in the Premier League in the first leg.

The games are always good, we had chances, they had chances, it was open and the people enjoy."

Kieran McKenna's side dropped to 19th in the table after Jamie Vardy marks Foxes farewell with 200th goal on 500th appearance for the club in a 2-0 win for the Foxes.

Leif Davies went close to a breakthrough when his left footed effort at the second time of asking smashed into the near post of Foxes keeper Jakub Stolarczyk.

Leicester doubled their lead in the 69th minute through Kasey McAteer, with the youngster firing Wilfried Ndidi’s pass home from a tight angle, after hitting the post moments before.

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna spoke to Sky Sports following his sides 2-0 defeat:

"Today was a reflection of some parts of the season. In our position, there are always different challenges, but today I thought we were the better team and created the better chances.

But we weren't clinical enough and Leicester were more clinical when Vardy got the big chance in the first half.

There have certainly been games like that. One bit from the season is that you know you can do a lot of good work but you have to be really clinical and if you're not there's a chance you are going to get punished on the other end.

We've fallen short this season for a number of reasons, one of the reasons we've seen today is that Leicester were more clinical than us."

Newcastle welcome Everton to St. James' Park in a crucial afternoon for the Magpies, with anything other than a win likely to see them playing Europa League football next season.

Declan Rice's stunning strike clinches Champions League qualification for Gunners as they ran out 1-0 winners at the Emirates.

Bruno Guimaraes went close to giving Newcastle an early lead at the Emirates, but the midfielder hit his shot directly into the path of David Raya.

The Brazilian went close again with a left footed effort on the other side of the box, but he was thwarted again by Arsenal’s Spaniard.

At the other end Leandro Trossard went close with a right footed effort across goal, but it went narrowly wide of the far post.

Nick Pope produced a fine save from close range to deny Thomas Partey, with the Arsenal midfielder heading into the keeper from Bukayo Saka’s corner.

Raya completed a hat-trick of fine saves in the match, as his full stretch effort helped prevent Harvey Barnes deflected effort from finding the bottom corner.

The Spaniard wasn’t done there either, as he produced a fine double save to initially deny Dan Burn’s header before kicking out Sven Botman’s follow up.

The only goal of the game came in the 55th minute from the boot of Declan Rice, with the England midfielders sweeping effort from Martin Odegaard’s ball ultimately helping Arsenal to a first win of the season over Newcastle.

The Magpies had chances through Harvey Barnes and former Gunner Joe Willock, but neither could hit the target, as Arsenal held on for a 1-0 win.

Eddie Howe insisted to Sky Sports his side's defeat was not down to Alexander Isak's absence and said he doesn't expect the striker to require surgery on his groin injury:

"We looked very good in every phase in that first half. The final action, he is better than anyone this season. He's been a brilliant finisher for us.

Unfortunately for Callum [Wilson], none of the chances fell to him. But it was a strong performance from the team in his absence.

That's unknown. I don't know. He only felt pain after training, during training he was fine.

It was stiffness and went to get a scan. Then it became clear he was not fit to play. A lot will depend how he reacts.

He had a couple of groin issues either side, but this is one he felt earlier in the season."

Emotional Goodison Goodbye

Toffees say goodbye to Goodison Park with comfortable victory in final men's game

Aaron Ramsdale was tested early on as he smothered Beto’s early effort to ensure that the Saints stayed in the game.

But the former Arsenal man could do nothing as Iliman Ndiaye opened the scoring in the sixth minute, with the midfielder beating three Saints players before finding the bottom corner.

Ndiaye should have added an assist to his goal, but Beto was unable to hit the target with his effort across the Southampton goal.

Ndiaye struck again in the second minute of first half injury time, when he rounded Ramsdale after a through ball from Dwight McNeil (45+2).

Mistakes from Idrissa Gueye and Ashley Young went unpunished as Jordan Pickford eventually denied second half substitute Ross Stewart.

Southampton’s season was summed up when Cameron Archer missed from close range, with Jay Robinson doing well on the right hand side with a cutback.

Everton boss David Moyes told Sky Sports his players were told they had to finish Everton's last men's match at Goodison Park with a win:

"This team will be remembered in history as the one who played the last game. I was more impressed by the atmosphere.

There were times in the stadium when it was great. All the supporters in the ground as one together.

We still have a bit to go, but we will enjoy it now. We did the job and got the three points.

I've been here a while and I know what it means. It's been a great stadium."

Nottingham Forest @ 21/10 Draw @ 11/4 Chelsea @ 5/4

Nottingham Forest: WLDDW

Chelsea: WWWLW

Nottingham Forest welcome Chelsea to the City Ground in a huge match in the context of Champions League football next season.

Nuno's men secured a vital 2-1 away win at West Ham as Forest maintained their Champions League hopes.

Matz Sels produced an acrobatic save early on to deny Tomas Soucek, with the midfielder’s header seemingly heading for the back of net were it not for the Belgian.

Morgan Gibbs White went close to breaking the deadlock shortly after, but the midfielder saw his right footed volley saved by Areola, after a long throw from Ola Aina.

A terrible mistake from Areola ensured that Morgan Gibbs White did find the opener in the 11th minute, with the midfielder taking full advantage of an awful pass out from the back from the Frenchman before he slotted into an empty net.

Nuno’s side went to within an inch of doubling their lead at the end of the first half, as Chris Wood’s header from a Forest corner hit the post and was eventually scrambled away by the Hammers.

Forest did double their lead just after the hour mark, as Nikola Milenkovic continued his impressive debut season in the Premier League with a fifth goal of the season, a header from a Forest free kick in the 61st minute.

An outrageous volley from Jarrod Bowen halved the deficit with four minutes to go (86), but Forest held on to secure a much needed win in their quest for European football.

Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo gave his post match thoughts to Sky Sports:

"Since the beginning of our preparations 'T' [Taiwo Awoniyi] was on our minds due to the seriousness of the situation, and the boys really wanted to do it for him.

That was our final words, 'let's give it a push'. He is someone we admire, his smile is contagious and the boys did it for him. We are so proud.

Huge [win]. I think since the beginning of the season we wanted to be in this fight, we achieved it, the last game at the City Ground will be huge for us and we are trying to make something magical."

Champions League Alive

Marc Cucurella's 71st minute header seals crucial win in Champions League race.

Noni Madueke should have given the Blues an early lead at Stamford Bridge, but the winger blazed Cole Palmer’s ball to the back post over the bar from close range.

United appeared to take the lead through Harry Maguire, with the defender slotting Bruno Fernandes ball into the box beyond Robert Sanchez, but that goal was ruled out for offside.

Reece James’ drive from Noni Madueke’s cutback smashed the post as Chelsea went in search of the crucial opener.

Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the second half when Tyrick George was seemingly brought down in the penalty area by Andre Onana.

But VAR also intervened to overturn this decision, with Onana adjudged to have got the ball before the player.

Marc Cucurella grabbed the only goal of the game in the 71st minute when he headed Reece James’ cross home at the back post.

Madueke continued his tough game in front of goal, as he steered his effort from close range wide of the target with the goal at his mercy.

United’s only real chance of getting back into the match came from Amad, but the winger saw his left footed effort comfortably saved by Robert Sanchez as Chelsea held on for a 1-0 win.

Enzo Maresca told ChelseaTV that his Chelsea players' 'unbelievable effort' was crucial in securing the 1-0 victory over Manchester United that keeps Champions League qualification in the Blues' hands:

“We've said many times that talent alone is not enough.You also need to add the effort.

The effort tonight was unbelievable from all of the players. We are happy tonight. For me, the club, and the fans, it was an important win.

The way I celebrated [at the end of the game] is because we had two games to go and it’s important to win the game.

I said today to the players, United beat City at home, drew with them at home, drew with Liverpool, drew with Arsenal, they know how to play big games.

So it was very difficult to win the game tonight.”

Southampton welcome Arsenal to St. Mary's in their final game of the season, with the Saints looking to sign off a miserable season in style.

The Saints come into this game on the back of a 2-0 defeat in an emotional final game at Goodison Park.

Aaron Ramsdale was tested early on as he smothered Beto’s early effort to ensure that the Saints stayed in the game.

Southampton’s season was summed up when Cameron Archer missed from close range, with Jay Robinson doing well on the right hand side with a cutback.

Interim Manager Simon Rusk gave his reaction to SFC Media after Southampton fell to a 2-0 defeat at Everton in their final away match of the season:

"We had a difficult first 45. We didn't defend well enough, we didn't attack well enough. And I thought the second half was encouraging.

Ndiaye's first goal came on six minutes and his second in added time at the end of the first half, with Rusk adding that both were particularly ill-timed for his team.

It makes the half more tentative [after the early goal], because you don't want to concede a second and, for a team that's struggled and we're down there.

It's hard to sort of open up because you need to somehow cling in the game and we concede the goal just before the end of the half and it probably takes the game away from us in some respects.

Then it's about winning the second half and trying to claw yourself back in.

I thought the least we deserved was a goal. It might have been interesting if we get that goal, but it wasn't to be on the day."

Champions League Confirmed

Declan Rice's stunning strike clinches Champions League qualification for Gunners with a game to spare.

After addressing the Emirates Stadium crowd following their 1-0 win against Newcastle United, Mikel Arteta spoke to www.arsenal.com in the press room:

“That's what we wanted to achieve today. We had a few objectives, finishing second, finishing the Champions League spots and finishing the season in front of our people in the right manner with the right results. Two things have been achieved.

First of all we have one more game to play and to finish it in the right way, and winning in Southampton is going to be really important again and then go on holidays, have time to reset and bring the temperature down a little bit.

It's been a long, long season and we need to start to think and reflect on everything that we have planned is the right one.

Start to make some steps, some action and come back here fresh on day one, ready to go again.

It was emotional because of the way I feel and it's great. We had a dream, I said it out there, to deliver a big trophy this season for our people and because I think the team deserved it as well in the journey that we've been together in the last three or four years.

We haven't achieved that and there are a lot of factors and a lot of situations that we've been through for the last nine and a half months that are not happening but make sure that we're still valid.”

Tottenham @ 3/1 Draw @ 18/5 Brighton @ 8/11

Tottenham: LLDLL

Brighton: LWDWW

Tottenham welcome Brighton in their final game of the season, with Spurs basking in the glow of their victorious Europa League campaign.

The 21 defeats of the season have all but been forgiven as Tottenham ended their silverware woes and qualified for next seasons Champions League with a 1-0 win in the Europa League final.

A mistake from Djed Spence nearly let in Villa skipper John McGinn, but the midfielder blazed his effort from inside the box over the bar, much to the relief of the Spurs fans and players.

The returning Heung Min Son had two great chances cutting inside from the left, but he blazed his efforts both high and wide.

Wilson Odobert’s clever flick could easily have wound up in the Villa net were it not for Emi Martinez.Morgan Rodgers and Marco Asensio went close with efforts on both sides of the park, but neither were able to find the killer final touch.

Luckily for Villa Ezri Konsa popped up with the opener in the 59th minute, with the defender hooking Ollie Watkins header from a corner into the Spurs net to make it 1-0.

Boubacar Kamara’s left footed thunderbolt doubled the scoring for the hosts with seventeen minutes to go (73).

In terms of the display, Ange told SPURSPLAY he was pleased with how the team looked ‘disciplined and focused’ despite the 2-0 defeat:

“It’s fair to say it was always going to be a difficult assignment tonight, but, for the most part, the boys worked hard, looked disciplined and focused.

We made it really difficult for them, but when they scored that took the game away from us.

Overall, disappointed to lose, but a better effort.

I think so. Pape felt something in his back, so we took him off as a precaution. Everyone else, it looks like came through unscathed.

We protected a few today, Sonny got 65 minutes, which was important. I think everyone else is fine.

An important five days, we left a few players back (from Villa), as well. We’ve a few important training sessions coming up, and we’ll get ready. It’s a massive game, obviously, and a huge opportunity for us.”

Five Goal Thriller

Dramatic comeback boosts Seagulls' European qualification hopes as they beat the Champions 3-2 at the Amex.

It was the Premier League Champions who broke the deadlock at the Amex in the ninth minute, when Harvey Elliott tapped in from a yard out after a brilliant run and cutback by Trent’s heir apparent Conor Bradley.

The Seagulls found an impressive leveller in the 32nd minute when Yasin Ayari calmly slotted Brajan Gruda’s excellent through ball past Alisson to make it 1-1.

Dominik Szoboszlai’s cross in the first minute of first half injury time did for Bart Verbruggen, as it nestled into the far corner to give Liverpool a 2-1 lead heading into the break.

There was a real collectors item for both sets of fans as Mohamed Salah produced one of the misses of the season from a Cody Gakpo ball, it was a miss that would cost the Reds dearly.

Alisson and Verbruggen produced fine saves to deny Welbeck and Salah respectively, as the game remained in the balance.

But it was Brighton who levelled through Kaoru Mitoma, with the Japan international following up on Welbeck’s initial effort four minutes after coming on as a substitute (69).

With five minutes remaining Brighton snatched all three points through another substitute, with Jack Hinshelwood tapping in from close range just a minute after being brought on by Hurzeler (85).

Fabian Hurzeler told Sky Sports that he was proud of his Brighton players’ character and courage to comeback in their crucial 3-2 win against Liverpool which keeps their hopes for European football next season alive:

"There have been a lot of highs and lows throughout the season.

It's important you don't overreact and important to stay grounded and humble because there is still one game to go but I'm really proud of the team.

It's not only about playing a football game and the tactical side but it's about the mental side too.

We only can be successful if you stick together and we proved that today so we are very happy but there is one game to go.The players changed the intensity on the pitch.

They used the goal as the wake up signal. Liverpool were impressive first 20 minutes but I was happy with the reaction.”

Wolves welcome Brentford to Molineux in their final game of the season, with Brentford still harbouring an outside chance of securing European football.

Eddie Nketiah's double gives FA Cup winners hope of top-half finish as Wolves were handed a 4-2 defeat away to Crystal Palace.

It was the visitors Wolves who took a 24th minute lead at the home of the FA Cup winners, with Emmanuel Agbadou heading the ball over the line, despite the Palace protests and clearance.

That lead lasted three minutes when Eddie Nketiah scored his second Premier League goal of the season from a Romain Esse cutback (27).

Jorgan Strand Larsen halved the deficit with his 14th goal of the season, with the striker heading Jean Ricner Bellegarde’s corner in to make it 3-2 (62).

Dean Henderson produced a fine save to deny Goncalo Guedes late on, with the former United man acrobatically saving the Portuguese’s volley.

FA Cup hero Eberechi Eze put the icing on the cake four minutes from time (86), when he cut inside and found the bottom corner of Jose Sa’s net after a brilliant ball from Justin Devenny ensured Palace won the game.

Vitor Pereira told WolvesTV that he “cannot accept” the mistakes his players made in their defeat to Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening:

“Too many mistakes from my team. You cannot compete at this level if we offer gifts to them, and, in my opinion, they were four gifts.

We have responsibility in the four goals that we conceded and in the moment that we had the chance to score for 3-3, another mistake.

This is not possible.In this league we must be focused until the last minute, until the last game.

To compete in this league, we must be at our best level every time until the end.

As a team, we committed mistakes that we cannot commit. In this league, if you commit a mistake, they punish you.Of course, today I'm not happy.

The Premier League is not a league where we can come here and be part of the party. We came here to compete for three points.”

Five Goal Thriller

Harry Wilson steps up to net winner again as Fulham keep European bid alive

Raul Jimenez’s 16th minute header allowed Fulham to draw first blood in the West London derby, with the striker rising highest to head Alex Iwobi’s deflected cross.

That lead lasted just six minutes when Bryan Mbeumo’s right footed effort across goal levelled the scoring in the 22nd minute, with Yoane Wissa grabbing the assist.

The Bees were awarded a penalty in the 28th minute when Joachim Anderson clumsily felled Kevin Schade in the penalty area.

Mbeumo stepped up but he saw his penalty saved by Leno, who guessed correctly by diving low to his right.

Brentford did find a second just before the break (43), as Yoane Wissa scrambled the ball over the line to make it 2-1 to the hosts.Skipper Tom Cairney popped up with a header in the 68th minute to draw Fulham level at 2-2.

Two minutes later the comeback was complete, as Harry Wilson scored his third goal of the season against Brentford with a stunning left footed effort from 25 yards out to secure a memorable 3-2 win for Marco Silva’s side (70).

Thomas Frank told www.brentfordfc.com that was pleased with his side’s performance against Fulham despite Brentford falling to a 3-2 defeat:

“Obviously, I’m disappointed. It’s always disappointing to lose against our local rivals, and I’m even more disappointed because we played to get more out of the game.

The first half was one of best halves of the season, one of our best here at the Gtech, and there have been many. We were completely on top, scored two goals, missed a penalty, and had other good chances and opportunities.

We could have been up by two goals at half-time.

It shows the fine margins in football: two deflected crosses land perfectly on their players’ heads, and fair play they head it in from there, and then a very good finish from Wilson that decides the game.

There are more positives than negatives.”
