Early this morning (May 28), the last name to win promotion to the Premier League was Luton (a 138-year-old team participating in the highest league in England for the first time) after winning against Coventry in the penalty shootout of the play-off final.
Also tonight, the Premier League will enter the final round of matches to determine two more places to be relegated to the Championship after Southampton. In fact, the relegation race now has only 3 names: Everton (33 points), Leicester City (31 points) and Leeds United (31 points).
In the relegation race, Everton clearly has the advantage of winning the right to decide for themselves thanks to being 2 points ahead of the other two teams and only having to meet Bournemouth in the final round.
Meanwhile, Leeds United are at a disadvantage when facing Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City are equally difficult when facing West Ham.
At the top, there was not much drama as the top 4 teams that qualified for the Champions League were decided, including: Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd and Newcastle.
Two tickets to attend the Europa League have also belonged to Liverpool and Brighton, while the Europa Conference League is a competition between Aston Villa, Tottenham and Brentford.

Fans will not be expecting an exciting final match between Man City and Man Utd as both sides have to hold their own before the FA Cup final against each other.
Even coach Pep Guardiola's team must now preserve their "strength" in the best way possible as there is still a historic Champions League final this June.
