The 2024/2025 Premier League season will come to a close on Sunday (today).

Many things had been confirmed prior to the last set of matches.

Liverpool are champions, with Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton relegated.

Daily Sun brings to you games that could produce shocking results as the Premier League 2024/2025 season ends today.

1. Fulham vs Man City: The reigning champions are still not assured of a Champions League spot.
To give themselves a chance, Pep Guardiola’s team defeated Bournemouth 3-1 at home in their most recent match.

However, a trip to Fulham on the last day of the season will present challenges. Despite their recent average performance, the Cottagers might make a final appearance and ruin City’s celebration.

2. Man Utd vs. Aston Villa: Most Manchester United fans anticipated to see the Europa League trophy on display when they host Aston Villa on Sunday.

However, the Red Devils lost 1-0 to Tottenham in the final and must now aim to finish higher than 16th place in what has been a disastrous season.

If they succeed, they may jeopardise Villa’s hopes of finishing in the top five.

3. Nottingham Forest v Chelsea

Forest, sitting seventh, host fifth-placed Chelsea in a massive showdown. A Forest win could see them beat Chelsea, potentially knocking the Blues out of the European spots — depending on goal difference and other results.

Nuno Santo’s side would require at least one of Newcastle or Aston Villa to lose their match against Everton and Man United, respectively to have a real chance of making it to the Champions League.

Meanwhile, if Enzo Maresca’s side draw with Nottingham Forest, they would either need Aston Villa to lose their match against Manchester United or Newcastle United not to win their match against Everton.
