Everton boss Dyche on crunch relegation decider v. Bournemouth
The Premier League is set for a blockbuster final day as Everton, Leeds United and Leicester City all fight for a place in the top-flight next season.
The Toffees are in pole position to survive the drop, sitting 17th in the table with a two-point advantage over their relegation rivals. They face Bournemouth in this afternoon’s clash and with the Cherries already safe Everton have a strong chance of claiming victory.
Elsewhere, Leicester (18th) take on West Ham knowing that only three points - and an Everton loss - will be enough to keep them in the Premier League. The good news for Dean Smith’s side is that the Hammers are focused on their upcoming Europa Conference League final so may field a weakened team.
The final contender in this relegation battle is Leeds. They have arguably the most difficult challenge as they take on Tottenham. Home advantage can play it’s part and the Elland Road faithful will bring the noise. Like the Hammers, Leeds must win and hope Everton lose, the difference is that Spurs are also chasing three points as they have a chance to earn European football next season.
Follow all the action from the Premier League final day below and see which team avoids the drop:
Leeds 0-2 Tottenham
66 mins: Leeds are desperate for something to happen but there’s a complete lack of ideas out there on the pitch. Harrison jinks through a crowd of players but his clipped cross is not attacked by anyone in a white shirt and it drifts out for a goal kick.

Leicester 2-0 West Ham
63 mins: Despite that second goal at the King Power there’s some glum faces in the crowd. Leicester are relying on Bournemouth to at least score against Everton.

GOAL! Leicester 2-0 West Ham (Faes, 62’)
Leicester have a secure grip on their match against West Ham now! They win a free kick over on the left wing that Youri Tielemans curls into the middle of the box.
Wout Faes leaps highest and glances his headed effort into the bottom corner! Leicester need to see out this match and hope Bournemouth can score against Everton.

Leeds 0-2 Tottenham
58 mins: Leeds look to be readying a number of subs on the bench. They need a minor miracle at this point, however, with Everton also taking the lead against Bournemouth.

GOAL! Arsenal 4-0 Wolves (Jesus, 58)

GOAL! Everton 1-0 Bournemouth (Doucoure, 57’)
Massive goal! Abdoulaye Doucoure take a bow. Idrissa Gueye floats the ball into the box looking for Alex Iwobi. The ball is nodding down and bobbles out of the box before sitting up for Doucoure.
He nails it on the half-volley and fizzes his effort past Mark Travers to send Everton ahead!
