Man City beat Brighton to clinch title as Tottenham take third from Chelsea: Premier League predictions

Pep Guardiola's men to celebrate successive championships as West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United also prevail on final day

It is the final day of the Premier League season on Sunday and for the first time since 2014 the title is still to be won going into the 38th and last round of games.

Five years ago it was Manchester City and Liverpool in contention and it is the same protagonists this time around.

City have an one point lead over Liverpool and will be the first team in 10 years to win back-to-back championships in England if they win at Brighton and Hove Albion.

But if Pep Guardiola's men fail to take the three points then a Liverpool victory at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers will give them their first title in 30 years.

Fourth place, and Uefa Champions League, is also technically at stake although Tottenham Hotspur will have to lose heavily at home to Everton, with Arsenal winning by a big margin at Burnley for that scenario to happen.

All 20 teams play on Sunday with the games kicking off at 6pm UAE time.

Ahead of the final round of fixtures, sports editor Graham Caygill has made his predictions and explained his reasoning in the photo gallery above.

Who was Alfred Nobel?

The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.

  • In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
  • Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
  • Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.
