As the curtain falls on the thrilling 2024/25 Premier League season today, May 25, 2025, fans are in for a dramatic finale. While some fates have already been sealed, the race for European spots is still wide open—ensuring a nerve-wracking end to the campaign.
Champions: Liverpool Reclaim the Crown
Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions in April, marking their second title of the Premier League era and equaling Manchester United’s all-time record of 20 top-flight titles. With a dominant and consistent performance throughout the season, the Reds wrapped up the title early and can enjoy their final matchday clash against Crystal Palace with the pressure off.
Relegation: The Drop Zone is Decided
Sadly for fans of Southampton, Leicester City, and Ipswich Town, their clubs have been relegated to the Championship. Despite moments of promise, these teams couldn’t find the consistency needed to survive the drop. All eyes now turn to how they rebuild for next season.
European Qualification: The Final Battle
With Liverpool and Arsenal having secured the top two spots, the remaining three Champions League places (thanks to England’s increased UEFA coefficient) are still up for grabs. The contenders: Manchester City, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest.
Key Scenarios:
- Manchester United vs Aston Villa
Villa, currently sixth, could jump into the top five with a win, depending on other results. A loss, however, could see them miss out on European football entirely. - Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea
This fixture is huge. Both teams are neck and neck in the table. A win for either could secure a Champions League spot—or at least Europa League qualification. - Newcastle United vs Everton
A draw may be enough for Newcastle to secure European football, but a loss could open the door for others to leapfrog them.
