This is it! It's the last weekend of the English Premier League Season 2023/24, and we have a few things yet to be settled. At the summit, Man City is now ahead after winning their game-in-hand against Tottenham Hotspurs, and all they need to do now is win their home game against West Ham, to be crowned champions for the fourth time in a row. Arsenal, meanwhile, need to also make sure they win their home game against Everton to have a fighting chance should City slip up. It'll be a nervy final day for Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta. Elsewhere, there is one European spot that is still unsettled between Man Utd and Newcastle, and down at the bottom, Luton is likely to join Burnley and Sheffield United back to the Championship. Our pundits give their thoughts on these matches and pay tribute to Jurgen Klopp ahead of his last match as the Liverpool manager, only on another exciting episode of Just For Kicks!
