Tottenham, fresh off their Europa League victory and first trophy in 17 years, will wrap up their Premier League season at home against Brighton.
Date: Sunday, May 25, 2025
Kickoff: 4 PM (UK Time)
Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Competition: Premier League – Gameweek 38
While their league campaign has been disappointing—possibly finishing as low as 17th—Tottenham’s cup success and qualification for next season’s Champions League have given fans reason to celebrate.
Brighton, meanwhile, still have a slim chance of qualifying for the UEFA Conference League.
Their fate depends on several outcomes, but a point against Spurs would secure an eighth-place finish and keep their European hopes alive.
Tottenham Hotspur: A Season of Highs and Lows
Spurs’ Europa League triumph over Manchester United was a massive moment. Despite having a tough league season.
Manager Ange Postecoglou and his players delivered when it mattered most.
That win, featuring a hard-fought 1–0 result, gave the club its first piece of silverware since 2008.
However, their league form has been inconsistent.
Tottenham have struggled for wins in recent weeks and may finish the season in the bottom three if results go against them.
Even so, the joy of European glory has overshadowed domestic disappointment.
Brighton & Hove Albion: Eyes on Europe
Brighton have ended the season strongly, collecting 10 points from their last 4 games, including an impressive 3–2 win over Liverpool.
Coach Fabian Hürzeler has inspired belief in the squad, and they’ll be hoping for a final push to secure European football.
That said, a lot must go right.
Brighton need help from other results and even from the outcome of next week’s Conference League final to qualify.
But a point in this game could give them a real chance.
