Premier League Final Day: Schedule, Stakes, and How to Watch with Sling
Matchday 38 of the English Premier League is upon us, and for the second time in three years the title race will come down to the final day of the season.
At the beginning of each Premier League season, there’s always a small hope that the title race makes it to the final match day. The drama of all the games being played at once – with the table shifting in real time – is nerve-wracking, to say the least.

You don’t have to go far to find the last time the title came down to the final matchday. Two years ago, Manchester City needed a win to secure the title, while Liverpool needed a win and a City draw/loss. Manchester City found themselves down 2-0 before a dramatic comeback to win the 2021-22 Premier League at the death, leaving the scenes at the Etihad Stadium in pure chaos…while Anfield suffered in the agony of defeat.
This year, the same scenario is at play but this time Arsenal are the team needing Manchester City to drop points. The North London club are looking for their first Premier League title in 20 years, since a team led by Thierry Henry completed their unbeaten season. The Gunners, under Mikel Arteta, must win in addition to a City loss/draw, but regardless of the result, it has been a record breaking season for the club. They’ve already won 27 matches, a new record and have gone an impressive 15-1-1 since the start of January. But, in the same time frame Manchester City have gone 15-0-3, showing just how fine the margins are and how flawless you need to be to knock them off their throne. Man City manager Pep Guardiola has built an absolute force in the UK. The team won the treble last season, and have won 16 trophies since Guardolia took over in 2016. And yet, they remain hungry for more. The Cityzens are vying to become the first team to win four straight Premier League titles, along with the club’s sixth title in seven years. Below is the final matchday schedule and how you can watch the Premier League drama unfold on Sling.

What Teams Qualified for The Champions League?
The four Premier League teams that will play in the Champions League next year will be Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Which Teams Qualified for The Europa League?
Tottenham is currently in fifth place, and their spot in the Europa League is secure. However, the other spot goes to the team that wins the FA Cup, whose championship match is May 25 between Man City and Manchester United. Because Man City has already qualified for Champions League, an FA Cup victory would put the sixth-place team into the Europa League. But if Man U wins, they could potentially leapfrog Chelsea and/ or Newcastle to make the Europa League.
