A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at Wembley

Premier League season in numbers

It was a nervy affair, but Tottenham just about got the job done against Newcastle and will play Champions League football in 2018-19. Harry Kane still didn’t look at his sharpest, but his goal will be pleasing for England and Spurs fans alike.

Leicester City defeated ten-man Arsenal on Wednesday night, a victory that could keep Claude Puel in his job. Puel will again finish in the top ten, and could finish eighth for the second consecutive season with a Leicester win and Everton loss or draw. But Southampton sacked Puel last year, and it is not out of the question that the same could happen after this game.

It may prove a typically drab end-of-season encounter where both sides have nothing to play for, but there are plenty of presumed England squad members who could be on show at Wembley hoping to find some form ahead of the World Cup.

Follow all of the live action below.


What time does it start?

Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City kicks off at 3pm.

Where can I watch it?

Highlights from the game can be seen on Match of the Day from 10.30pm on Sunday.

It’s a big game for…

Moussa Sissoko hasn’t set the world alight since his move to Spurs. With Tottenham supposedly short of funds for the summer, Sissoko is a player who Daniel Levy could look to sell but Mauricio Pochettino appears to trust the Frenchman.

Best Stat

6 – Harry Kane has struck the woodwork more times than anyone else this season. He is level with Mo Salah when goals and woodwork hits are combined – they each have 34.

Remember when…

Tottenham and Leicester played out an entertaining 4-4 draw at White Hart Lane in February 2004.

Player to watch…

Another goal against Arsenal for Jamie Vardy in midweek. His pace can worry a Spurs defence that looked a little vulnerable against Newcastle, despite keeping a clean sheet.

The Bournemouth winner came in the 90th minute, with Jermain Defoe breaking free and squaring for Callum Wilson who slid the ball under Nick Pope to win the game 2-1.

So what do those results mean:

- Manchester City finish top with 100 points, the first ever Premier League side to reach that mark.

- Tottenham Hotspur win a crazy game of football 5-4 to finish third behind Manchester United in second.

- Liverpool's 4-0 win ensured Jurgen Klopp's side would finish fourth.

- Chelsea's 3-0 loss to Newcastle leaves them in fifth. Arsene Wenger was victorious in his final Arsenal game and his side finish sixth. Burnley take the final Europa League spot in seventh.

- Everton finish eighth, two points ahead of Leicester in ninth, although both sides could sack their managers tonight.

- Rafa Benitez takes Newcastle to tenth, Crystal Palace finish eleventh and Bournemouth in twelfth, all on 44 points. West Ham, Watford, Brighton, Huddersfield and Southampton stay up.

- Swansea's loss to Stoke confirms their relegation. Their opponents and last-placed West Brom will join them in the Championship next season.

​- Mohamed Salah wins the Golden Boot with 32 goals this season, ahead of Harry Kane on 30.

- Kevin De Bruyne is the 'Playmaker of the Year' with 16 assists. His late pass for Gabriel Jesus' winner took him ahead of teammate Leroy Sane to win the award outright.

- David De Gea wins the Golden Glove for the first time with 18 clean sheets.

And that is that. The Premier League season is over. It has featured the greatest Premier League side ever in Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, who have changed the way the rest of the league plays football and scored more, won more and accumulated more points than any other team in the history of the league. 

Twelve sides found themselves in a relegation battle at one time or another; nine of them changed their manager. All three newly-promoted sides retained their place in the division for next season, despite all being written off at various points since the beginning of the season. 

What a job Sean Dyche has done: Burnley will play Europa League football next year. As will Chelsea and Arsenal - it will be the first time since the 1996-97 season that neither club will feature in the Champions League. It is adieu to Arsene Wenger, who leaves Arsenal after his worst ever season as manager, and Spurs have finished as the top London club for the first time since 1995.

It is over, but do not fear. The World Cup in Russia is only a month away, the playoffs are in full swing and the F.A. Cup and Champions League Finals are to come in the next two weeks. There is a shortened transfer window, too. And in less than three months, the Premier League begins all over again.

But to bring this Premier League season to a close, I have been Harry Latham-Coyle for The Independent - thank you for reading.
