West Ham has it all to do to maintain its 14-year top-flight status, with the team from east London in third-to-last place and two points behind Tottenham with a goal difference deficit of 12.<\/p>\n

West Ham must, therefore, beat Leeds at home and also needs Tottenham to lose at home to Everton.<\/p>\n

Tottenham last played in the second tier in the 1977-78 season and would be the biggest team to be relegated from England\u2019s top flight in a generation.<\/p>\n

With the title already clinched by Arsenal, the other sporting focus is on the race to seal the final European spots.<\/p>\n

Sixth place will be enough to get Champions League qualification this season if Aston Villa \u2014 the newly crowned Europa League champion \u2014 finishes in fifth place.<\/p>\n

For Villa to drop from fourth to fifth and Liverpool to climb from fifth to fourth, Villa needs to lose to Manchester City and Liverpool has to beat Brentford.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth, which visits Nottingham Forest, is currently in sixth \u2014 three points ahead of seventh-place Brighton, which hosts Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Guardiola will take charge of his final game at Man City after a record-breaking 10-year spell<\/a> . Also leaving City at the end of the season are stalwarts Bernardo Silva and John Stones, so it promises to be an emotional afternoon at Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n

Salah will play his last game for Liverpool after nine years, but manager Arne Slot hasn’t confirmed<\/a> that the Egypt winger will start after a critical recent social-media post.<\/p>\n
