Paul Merson Predicts Final Day Premier League Results as Arsenal Prepare for Title Celebration
Paul Merson has shared his predictions for the final round of the 2025/26 Premier League season, with newly crowned champions Arsenal FC tipped to end their campaign with victory.
Arsenal officially secured the league title earlier this week after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by AFC Bournemouth, ending the title race before the final weekend.
The Gunners will conclude their season away to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday, where Merson predicts a 2-1 victory for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Here are Merson’s full predictions for the final day fixtures:
Manchester City 3-0 Aston Villa
Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Manchester United
Fulham FC 2-2 Newcastle United
Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Everton FC
Liverpool FC 3-1 Brentford FC
Burnley FC 2-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Nottingham Forest 1-1 AFC Bournemouth
West Ham United 2-1 Leeds United
Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal FC
Sunderland AFC 2-2 Chelsea FC
Opinion
Final-day predictions are always difficult because motivation levels vary widely across teams. Some clubs are still fighting for European qualification or survival, while others are already focused on next season.
Merson’s prediction for Arsenal to beat Crystal Palace feels realistic considering the confidence surrounding the champions. However, title celebrations can sometimes affect intensity, especially away from home.
The most interesting aspect of the final day may not be the title race anymore, but the battles for European spots and momentum heading into the summer. Those matches often produce the most drama when pressure is highest.
