Harry Redknapp has revealed his Premier League final-day predictions as Manchester City and Arsenal battle for the title, several clubs aim to qualify for Europe and others look to climb up the table.
Man City go into the final day of the 2023-24 season sitting top, two points above title rivals Arsenal.
Given their cushion, victory over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium will see Manchester City become the first team in Premier League history to win four successive titles.
But an unexpected slip-up to the Hammers in David Moyes’ last game in charge could see Arsenal win their first league title since 2004, providing they get the job done against resurgent Everton.
While the other Champions League spots are already confirmed, Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Manchester United are all battling for European places.
With Sheffield United and Burnley already relegated and Luton Town set to follow suit, there’s not a huge amount to play for at the bottom-end of the Premier League barring pride and some more cash for higher finishes.
Ex-Premier League boss Redknapp experienced plenty of final-day drama during his managerial career and has made his predictions ahead of the conclusion of the 2023-24 campaign courtesy of BetVictor.
Brighton v Man United
‘This is a difficult one to predict. I never know what to expect from Brighton. It feels like they’ve had a disappointing season, but they’re still comfortably sitting in mid-table and could easily be in a higher spot.
‘If they can recruit well in the summer – and they always do – they’ll have another good season next year.
‘That was a big win for Manchester United the other night, and for Erik ten Hag. There’s still some uncertainty surrounding his future, so he’ll want to win this game and then of course the FA Cup next weekend.
‘A win here for United would at least give them some momentum going into the FA Cup final. I think they’ll get it.’
Brighton 1-2 Man United
Liverpool v Wolves
‘Here we go, Jurgen Klopp’s last game at Anfield! It’s going to be an emotional day for those Liverpool fans, they love him and rightly so – he’s been a legend for the club.
‘Surely these lads will be inspired and want to send him off in style? I think Wolves just want the season to end now.
‘It’s been a tough few months for them, but that shouldn’t detract from what’s been a fantastic season for the club. I can’t see anything but a Liverpool win under the circumstances.’
Liverpool 3-0 Wolves
Sheffield United v Tottenham
‘This is it for Sheffield United fans – the last game in what’s been such a difficult return to the Premier League.
‘I hope the fans turn up in their numbers for this one and at least enjoy the day, you never know when you’ll be back!
‘As for Spurs, what a strange, strange week! Ange Postecoglou was furious after the game the other night and although I do get his point, I sympathise with those Spurs fans too. You never want to see your side get beat, but how can you cheer knowing you might be handing Arsenal the title?
‘I think we might get a response from Spurs here however, and quite a strong one too.’
Sheffield United 0-4 Tottenham
Luton Town v Fulham
‘It looks like this will be the end of the road for Luton, they’ve given this a real good go.
‘I know some people might look at their points total and criticise them but they’ve played with so much effort and they could easily have got another five or six points this season.
‘Fulham look like they’re on the beach to me. It will be interesting to see what happens there in the summer – I think there could be a few ins and outs and Marco Silva might get linked to jobs elsewhere.
‘I think Luton and their fans will be right up for this and I can see them getting one last win to bow out of the Premier League.’
Luton 1-0 Fulham
Man City v West Ham
‘It all comes down to this – how many times have we said that about Manchester City at the Etihad in the final game of the season?
‘City looked a little bit nervy at times the other night, but they got the job done and it’s all in their hands now. I’d be shocked if they slip up now, particularly at home. Four titles in a row – what an amazing achievement that would be.
‘I was delighted that David Moyes got a win and a great reception in his last West Ham home game. Whoever ends up getting this job has big shoes to fill because David has done a fantastic job.
‘City will be up for this and I think they’ll get off to a flyer and score early en route to another Premier League title.’
Man City 3-0 West Ham
Arsenal v Everton
‘Arsenal just have to take care of their own business and wait and see what happens in Manchester. After all, it’s the Premier League and David Moyes’ side might just do them a favour!
‘Everton’s recent form is superb and they’re now 14 points above the bottom three, and that’s including the points deduction. What a brilliant job from Sean Dyche.
‘Arsenal win this easily I think. They might not win the league, but those fans should be proud of their team for another brilliant campaign.’
Arsenal 3-0 Everton
Brentford 2-2 Newcastle
‘It looked a little precarious at times, but it’s been a good season for Brentford on the whole, particularly having missed Ivan Toney for such a large part of it.
‘A point here would put them on that 40-point threshold, which isn’t a bad return.
‘Newcastle were quite sloppy at Old Trafford the other night, that was disappointing. It’s been a long season for the club with so many injuries so maybe their race is run.
‘I’m leaning towards a high-scoring draw here.’
Brentford 2-2 Newcastle
Crystal Palace v Aston Villa
‘Can anyone stop Crystal Palace? Their form is just fantastic right now. Oliver Glasner has been… top class! I read that Bayern Munich considered him for their job opening, that says it all.
‘That was a brilliant game at Villa Park the other night and Villa have secured their spot in the Champions League. Unai Emery has to be in the running for manager of the season, what an incredible achievement that is.
‘I saw some of Villa’s celebrations the other night and let’s just say that I don’t think they’ll be arriving here in the best shape! Palace sneak this for me.’
Crystal Palace 2-1 Aston Villa
Burnley 1-1 Nottingham Forest
‘I don’t really have much to say about this one! I’ve been a little bit disappointed by Burnley. They had such a good season in the Championship and I expected more from them.
‘I’m interested to see what happens with them in the summer and with Vincent Kompany.
‘It’s been a long, tough season for Forest at times, but that’s them done enough to stay in the league. I think they’ve been worth it in the end, there’s a lot of good players in their squad. I’m going for a draw here.’

Chelsea 2-0 Bournemouth
‘What a turnround for Chelsea, where has this been all season? If they could have started the season this way, they would have been in the top four race.
‘Nonetheless, it’s a good way to end the season and gives them a lot of hope and optimism going into the summer.
‘I think Andoni Iraola has done a superb job this season, this is a good side. I love watching them play and I’m looking forward to them next season!
‘You never know, Chelsea win this and Spurs lose to Sheffield United and all of a sudden, Chelsea are fifth!’
