Relegation fight, Salah’s last game and Guardiola’s likely exit as Premier League reaches finale LONDON: The Premier League will say goodbye to West Ham or Tottenham on Sunday. Mohamed Salah and Bernardo Silva, too. Likely Pep Guardiola as well. Emotions are sure to run high in the final round of a season that has already delivered a relatively new champion — Arsenal hadn’t won the title since 2004 before clinching it on Tuesday — but still has plenty of stories to tell when all 10 games are played concurrently. Like which of two recent winners of European competitions — 2023 Conference League champion West Ham or 2025 Europa League champion Tottenham — will be the final team to drop into the Championship, joining Wolverhampton and Burnley in getting relegated. West Ham have it all to do to maintain their 14-year top-flight status. The team that plays in the 68,000-capacity Olympic Stadium in east London occupy third-to-last place — the final relegation spot — and are two points behind Tottenham with an inferior goal difference of 12. West Ham must, therefore, beat Leeds at home and also need Tottenham to lose at home to Everton in north London. Everton have collected more points away than at home this season and Spurs have won only once at home in the league since the opening weekend, so all is not lost for West Ham. Tottenham being relegated would be a huge development for English soccer. Spurs have been an ever-present in the Premier League since the competition was rebranded in 1992 and last played in the second tier in the 1977-78 season. Salah’s Liverpool exit turned sour It’s not quite been the farewell that Salah might have hoped for at Liverpool. The Egypt winger is leaving after nine years as one of the club’s greatest ever players but not on the best terms with his manager, having taken an indirect swing at Arne Slot in a social media post last weekend when he said Liverpool needed to recover their identity and “go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear.” This latest public swipe came five months after he spoke of his relationship with Slot breaking down and complaining that “someone wanted me to get all of the blame” for Liverpool’s shocking run of results at the time.

I couldn’t bring the energy that I wanted, and ultimately it was their moment as well to watch it together, to be themselves and just see what the outcome would be.“My oldest son opened the garden door, he started to run towards me, he started to cry, he gave me a hug and said: ‘We are champions, daddy’.”Arteta added that winning the trophy after six-and-a-half years at the helm was “one of the best feelings that I have ever had”.An emotion that will be amplified when the trophy is eventually lifted at Selhurst Park, and elevated even further should his side beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest on May 30.“We’re goi...
