The Premier League standings featured plenty of competition at both the top and bottom of the EPL table. With Arsenal already wrapping up the Premier League title, all eyes were on Tottenham and West Ham as only one club would avoid relegation.
Tottenham avoided disaster as the Spurs‘ 1-0 victory over Everton sealed the club’s EPL fate. West Ham’s dominant 3-0 victory versus Leeds was not enough as The Hammers will be relegated.
Elsewhere, there were battles at the top of the Premier League standings as teams look to cement their status in the Champions League. As a reminder, the top five teams in the EPL table are guaranteed a Champions League spot this year.
Arsenal, Man City, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool all cemented Champions League status for next season. AFC Bournemouth, Sunderland and Brighton will all play in European tournaments as well.
There was a more complicated scenario where the sixth place club will also secure a Champions League spot.
“However, the sixth-placed team would be upgraded to a Champions League spot if Aston Villa drop below Liverpool into fifth place in the final table on Sunday,” PremierLeague.com’s Ben Bloom wrote in a May 21, 2026, story titled, “Race for Europe 2025/26: How it stands ahead of Final Day.”
“This is because, as Europa League winners, Villa wouldn’t need the European Performance Spot that is awarded to the fifth-placed team, so it would drop down to sixth.”
Let’s take a look at the final Premier League standings.
