The final day of the Premier League season is upon us as we travel to Leeds United on Sunday (kick-off 4.30pm UK).
The hosts will be desperate to take three points as they bid to escape relegation – only a win would be sufficient for them, with Everton and Leicester’s results also needing to go in their favour – while a victory for us could see us secure seventh spot and a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League, providing Aston Villa drop points at home to Brighton.
Ahead of what promises to be a dramatic day, here’s all the key information you need to know...

Speaking to SPURSPLAY after training on Friday, Acting Head Coach Ryan Mason said: “Cuti is out, Pierre has trained this week and we’ll see how he is tomorrow. It’s disappointing to have lost some key players in our squad, but that’s the reality. We trust the players and whatever team is on the pitch, we’ll have full confidence in them.”
As for Leeds, their top scorer Rodrigo trained this week despite picking up a knock in last weekend’s defeat by West Ham.
Junior Firpo is back from suspension but Patrick Bamford is a doubt with a hamstring problem.
