We already know that Manchester City are the Premier League Champions, we also know that Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United have been relegated. However, there is still plenty to be decided on what promises to be an exciting final day of the season.
Of course, each team playing will want to finish as high up the table as possible, if only for the extra cash that will bring them in from the Premier League in terms of prize money. However, for a number of teams chasing either a Champions League or Europa League place, Sunday’s set of games will be pivotal.
With this being the last game of the Premier League season, there are no doubt going to be a lot of punters keen to have a bet for the last time before the new season gets underway in August.

Let’s now take a look at the things to be decided in the Premier League in the final week of action.
With the Champions of the Premier League already confirmed and the relegation issues already settled too, the sole focus for many fans this weekend will be on which teams clinch the Champions League and Europa League qualification spots this season.
So what spots are available in these competitions?
The Premier League has four qualifying spots available in the Champions League, which are awarded to the teams finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the Premier League table.
Manchester City and Manchester United are already assured of finishing 1st and 2nd in the table respectively and will take two of those spots.
The remaining two spots will be decided between Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester City with the three teams currently 3rd, 4th and 5th in the table respectively.
One thing to note is that it is possible we could have five Premier League teams in the Champions League next season. If Chelsea finished 5th in the Premier League but then won the Champions League final, then Chelsea would qualify for the Champions League as holders of the trophy, which would mean all five of these teams would qualify.
However, this scenario would mean that only two teams from the Premier League would qualify for the Europa League, the teams finishing 6th and 7th.
Given the fixtures, I think Chelsea and Liverpool will claim the Champions League qualification spots finishing 3rd and 4th in the table respectively.
England has three Europa League qualification spots. These are awarded to the FA Cup Winners, the Football League Cup Winners and the team finishing fifth in the Premier League. However, if either or both of the FA Cup or League Cup winners qualify for the Champions League, then the teams finishing 6th and/or 7th in the Premier League will take these places.
Manchester City won the League Cup but also qualified for the Champions League as Premier League winners, which freed up the sixth spot for a Europa League place in the Premier League. If Leicester also clinch a Champions League spot, then their FA Cup Final victory will mean that the 7th placed team will also gain a Europa League spot.
However, if Leicester do not finish in a Champions League spot, then the 7th place team in the Premier League would qualify for the Europa League as Leicester would occupy two qualifying spots as FA Cup Winners and likely 5th place in the Premier League.
Essentially, barring some strange results, the teams finishing 5th, 6th and 7th in the Premier League after this weekend’s final games will qualify for the Europa League.
That would only change if Chelsea finish 5th and win the Champions League, in which case the teams finishing 6th and 7th would be the Premier League’s representatives in the Europa League next season.
My feeling is that Leicester City will finish 5th to claim the first Europa League spot, with West Ham finishing sixth and I think the big shock will be Arsenal leapfrogging both Everton and Tottenham to claim the final Europa League qualification spot in seventh.
Here is how I see the final day set of games panning out in the Premier League.
