In addition to Southampton, Leicester City and Leeds United also have to leave the English Premier League. For Leicester, a 2-1 win over West Ham in the last round on Sunday was not enough to stay in the league. Leeds lost 4-1 at home to Tottenham with Maximilian Wöber. The “Spurs” still missed the European Cup ranks in eighth place. Manchester City might afford a 0-1 defeat once morest Brentford. The master did not start with the best cast.

Runner-up Arsenal only managed to reduce the gap to five points with a 5-0 shoot-out once morest Wolverhampton. Aston Villa clinched seventh place, qualifying for the Conference League, with a 2-1 win over sixth-placed Brighton, who are in next year’s Europa League. Everton moved up to 17th thanks to a 1-0 win over Bournemouth.

Leicester needed a point loss from Everton, but the “Toffees” – represented in England’s top division since 1954 – kept their nerve. Leicester were promoted to the Premier League in 2014 and sensationally won the league in 2016. The Foxes finished the season 18th.

Leeds, who had only had a very slim chance of staying up, were unlucky once morest Tottenham from the start. Tottenham took the lead in the second minute through goalgetter Harry Kane. After an early yellow card, Wöber played until the 60th minute.

Marcel Sabitzer missed Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Fulham with a knee injury. The whereregardings of the Styrian, who is on loan from the German champions Bayern Munich, with the third-placed league is questionable. Liverpool only drew 4-4 at relegated Southampton, while Chelsea and Newcastle drew 1-1.

According to consistent media reports, Chelsea is regarding to officially announce that Mauricio Pochettino will be the new coach. Accordingly, the 51-year-old Argentine should start his job at Stamford Bridge next week and stay until the summer of 2026. The official presentation of Pochettino is expected in the coming days.
