Harry Kane: Following his four-goal blitz against Leicester in mid-week, the England international is two goals ahead of Everton’s Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Premier League’s Golden Boot. Another strike or two against the Tigers should be enough to seal the prize for the second straight year.

Weird /best stat…

8: The number of wins Hull have registered at home in the Premier League this season – one more than sixth-placed Manchester United.

Remember when…

Gylfi Sigurdsson scored this impressive effort for Spurs in their League Cup tie with the Tigers in 2013. Following a 2-2 draw after extra time, the White Hart Lane side won 8-7 on penalties -

Harry Maguire: The Hull defender has been one of the Tigers’ stand-out players this season and is likely to be making his final appearance for the club. Spurs, Leicester and Newcastle have all been linked with a move for the 24-year-old centre-back.

Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of the final day of the Premier League season.

Liverpool can claim Champions League football, Arsenal need them to slip up to realise their own top-four hopes and Chelsea will be presented with the trophy in John Terry's final game for the club.

If ever there was a 'Super Sunday' of football then it is today, with all 20 Premier League teams in action at 3pm. Chelsea may well have already been crowned champions, Sunderland, Hull and Middlesborough relegated, but there is still a lot to play for. Top of the agenda is the race for the top four, with Man City able to clinch third with a win at Watford and Liverpool can seal fourth with a win at Middlesborough. Arsenal still have a chance of nabbing a spot though if they beat Everton and one of their rivals slip up. Looks a long shot at the moment though....
