⚽ With the German and French domestic seasons concluded, it’s now the English, Italian, and Spanish leagues’ turn to wrap up their campaigns tonight, with the slated fixtures ranging from heartstopping to dead rubber affairs.

In Old Blighty: All Matchday 38 fixtures will be kicking off simultaneously at 6pm. While Liverpool has already secured the trophy hoist and Arsenal the second-place spot and a Champions League qualification, the battle for European league placements is still ongoing.

Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace: The crowned champions welcome the FA Cup winners to Anfield in a celebratory finale before lifting the trophy in front of the Kop.

Fulham vs. Manchester City: City currently sit in third with 68 points and desperately need a victory to guarantee a spot in the Champions League. A draw might tide them over if they can rely on a superior goal difference, but that hinges on their rivals slipping up.

Newcastle vs. Everton: The Magpies sit in fourth on the scoreboard with 66 points, the same as fifth-placed Chelsea and sixth-placed Aston Villa, with only goal difference being their saving grace. Victory is essential for Newcastle to secure a Champions League qualification — a draw could create an opening for either of their competitors to snatch it up.

Nottingham Forest vs. Chelsea: The Blues trail behind Newcastle by just two goals, finding themselves in fifth place while Forest lurk dangerously in seventh with a difference of one point. A Chelsea victory guarantees them a spot in the Champions League, but Forest’s hopes need both a W and a Villa loss.

Manchester United vs. Aston Villa: The latter sit in sixth with 66 points, needing a victory and their rivals’ defeat for a Champions League spot. Meanwhile, the Red Devils in 16th place United have nothing left to play for after losing the Europa League final, leaving their continental dreams shattered.

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Brighton: The Spurs have secured their Champions League qualification thanks to their Europa League victory, raising England’s participation to six teams in the coming season. Eighth-placed Brighton hope to maintain their position with an eye on the ninth-placed Brentford, with ill wishes towards Chelsea to finish outside the top five and hopes to dominate the Conference League to open doors for the Seagulls to participate in continental leagues.

Remaining Premier League matches to flip through:

  • Bournemouth vs. Leicester City
  • Ipswich vs. West Ham
  • Southampton vs. Arsenal
  • Wolverhampton vs. Brentford

In Italia: With Napoli crowned champions, and Inter and Atalanta securing second and third spots respectively, the competition now centers on Juventus, Roma, and Lazio locking horns for the final spot in fourth, with all matches kicking off at 9:45pm.

Venezia vs. Juventus: The Old Lady sits fourth on the leaderboard with 67 points, with everything theirs to lose. Victory would guarantee a spot in the Champions League, but a draw or defeat might suffice if their rivals also experience bad luck.

Torino vs. Roma: The Giallorossi have staged a miraculous comeback after a catastrophic start that saw them fall to 15th after 14 rounds. But club legend Claudio Ranieri’s return from retirement has given them a second lease on life, propelling them into fifth place with 66 points. While they’ve secured a spot in the continental leagues, they need a victory and a Juventus draw to see themselves in the Champions League for the first time since the 2018/19 season.

Lazio vs. Lecce: The Biancocelesti occupy sixth place with 65 points, and require a victory and both a Juventus and Roma defeat to secure a Champions League spot.

Udinese vs. Fiorentina: The eighth-placed Fiorentina (62 points) have narrowing hopes for the Conference League, which they can only attain with a victory and a Lazio defeat.

En España: Barcelona are concluding their Spanish campaign with a match against Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés in the 38th and final round of La Liga at 10pm.

Don’t expect too much drama in the Spanish league, with all the European spots decided. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, and Villarreal have all clinched spots in the Champions League, while Real Betis and Celta Vigo secure places in the Europa League. The Conference League berth went to Rayo Vallecano, who will compete continentally for the first time in their history.

We’re seeing thrilling relegation group battles on the homefront, with all four Egyptian Premier League matches kicking off at 8pm:

  • Ismaily vs. El Gouna
  • Tala’ea El Gaish vs. Ghazl El Mahallah
  • Modern Sport vs. Al Ittihad
  • Enppi vs. Zed
