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

Brighton and Hove Albion 0 Manchester City 3. The last step for City to winning back-to-back titles. Brighton gave City a tough time in the FA Cup semi-final last month but it is hard to see them stopping Pep Guardiola, pictured, and his men from celebrating, especially given they have not won a match outright since March 9.

Burnley 1 Arsenal 1. Arsenal technically have a chance of still finishing in the top four. But Burnley can be obdurate opposition and with Chris Wood, pictured, in good form, this could end up being a stalemate. Action Images via Reuters

Crystal Palace 2 Bournemouth 1. Both sides can be inconsistent and this makes this tough to call. Bournemouth rode their luck to beat Tottenham last weekend, but Palace should have the edge here with Wilfried Zaha, pictured, making the difference. Action Images via Reuters

Fulham 0 Newcastle United 2. Newcastle are ending the season in high spirits and Rafa Benitez's, pictured, men can pick up another three points here as relegated Fulham play their last game in the top flight for at least 15 months. EPA

Leicester City 2 Chelsea 1. This should be fun. Leicester caused Man City massive problems on Monday. Chelsea will be exhausted after their Europa League exploits. They were last week and rode their luck to beat Watford. But Leicester, with Jamie Vardy, pictured, and James Maddison have the goal threat to punish them. Getty

Liverpool 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers 0. Liverpool had one amazing moment on Tuesday and are hoping for more of the same. With Mohamed Salah, pictuted, fit they will have enough to win here but it won't be enough for the title. Reuters

Manchester United 3 Cardiff City. United are in awful form but they are up against a Cardiff side reacting to being relegated. United, despite their dire showing at Huddersfield Town last week, should have too much with Marcus Rashford, pictured, looking to get back among the goals. Reuters

Southampton 2 Huddersfield Town 0. Huddersfield have never given up trying but their struggling campaign comes to an end here. Southampton should be too strong with Shane Long, pictured, among the goals. Getty

Tottenham Hotspur 1 Everton 0. Spurs had astonishing win over Ajax on Wednesday and they can translate that form to the league here. Son Heung-min may be suspended but Wednesday's hero Lucas Moura, pictured, can be the star again here. Action Images via Reuters

Watford 1 West Ham United 3. Watford will have one eye on the FA Cup final and West Ham can capitalise here with Marko Arnautovic, pictured, having re-found his scoring touch for the London side. Getty

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.
