SUNDAY (All kick-offs 7pm UAE) - Arsenal v Brighton: This season certainly hasn't gone to plan for Mikel Arteta's Gunners who have lost a club record-equalling 13 games in a 38-game season. They can still scrape into next season's inaugural Europa League Conference competition if they can jump two places and finish in seventh. But they need to beat Brighton and hope others fail for that to happen. Prediction: Arsenal 3 Brighton 0. Getty

Aston Villa v Chelsea: Fate very much in Chelsea's hands as they look to secure a top-four spot. Win and the place in theirs, anything else and they are relying on Liverpool and Leicester to stumble at the last. Going to Villa - who defeated Spurs on Wednesday and have key man Jack Grealish back in the team - will not be easy, though, and Thomas Tuchel's side might just miss out on three points here.

Fulham v Newcastle: Joe Willock continued his hot-streak in front of goal by scoring for a sixth consecutive game during the Magpies' narrow 1-0 win over Sheffield United on Wednesday. They face another relegated side here in Fulham and the Arsenal loanee has a great chance to make a lucky seven at Craven Cottage. Prediction: Fulham 1 Newcastle 2. AFP

Leeds v West Brom: Marcelo Bielsa's side are certainly enjoying a fine end to their first season back in the top-flight since 2004. Three wins on the spin - scoring nine goals and conceding one - and it's the relegated Baggies up next. This will be Sam Allardyce's final game in charge in a spell when even his renowned fire-fighting skills have come up way short. Prediction: Leeds 4 West Brom 1. EPA

Leicester v Spurs: It has been a season to remember for Leicester after wining the FA Cup for the first time in their history. But you get the feeling there is heartbreak coming their way in the battle for Champions League football. The Foxes have been in the top four for 242 days this season - more than any other club - but a fifth-place finish beckons for a second season in a row. We could also be seeing Harry Kane's last game for Spurs. Prediction: Leicester 1 Spurs 1. Reuters

Liverpool v Crystal Palace: After their top-four aspirations looked dead and buried, Liverpool have dragged themselves back up the table and are set to secure Champions League football again next season. Four wins in a row - the last a 3-0 victory at Burnley - means three points against Palace and a miraculous turnaround is complete. Prediction: Liverpool 4 Palace 0. Reuters

Manchester City v Everton: Champions City have suffered a slight stumble in the home straight, losing two of their last three games, and would like to end the domestic season on a high with a European Cup final looming.

Sheffield United v Burnley: A miserable season for Sheffield United is set to end in an appropriately disappointing fashion here. Burnley have not enjoyed the happiest of campaigns themselves, currently sitting one place outside the bottom three, but they can at least end on a high and condemn the Blades to defeat number 30 out of 38 games.

From a relegation dogfight to a potential top-six finish and place in the Europa League is a fantastic turnaround. As for Southampton, topping the table in November must seem like a lifetime ago, although a win here could see them climb up to 12th in the table. Prediction: West Ham 3 Southampton 1

Premier League predictions: Chelsea and Liverpool joy, heartache for Leicester

We pick out the winners and losers from the final day of English top-flight action

After what feels like a relentless season, truncated by the coronavirus, we have reached the final round of Premier League fixtures.

While the title and relegation spots have already been decided – Manchester City crowned champions, Fulham, West Browmich Albion and Sheffield United are down – who plays in next season's European competitions is still to be decided.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane hints at Manchester City move and rules out transfer abroad

For some, fate in their own hands. If Chelsea and Liverpool beat Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, respectively, on Sunday, then they will be playing Champions League football next season.

Leicester City, currently fifth, need to better one of Chelsea or Liverpool's results in their match against Tottenham Hotspur or they will be back in the Europa League.

Sixth place West Ham United need a point against Southampton to secure their Europa League spot.

If the Hammers seal sixth spot, that leaves three teams fighting it out for seventh and a place in the inaugural Europa Conference League.

Spurs currently hold that position, while Everton, who take on Manchester City, and Arsenal, who face Brighton, are also in the mix.

Leeds United, in tenth place and who play relegated West Bromwich Albion, could mathematically grab a European spot but would need a set of highly improbable results for that to happen.

As for the rest of the fixtures, Championship-bound Fulham entertain Newcastle, rock-bottom Sheffield United play host to Burnley and Wolves face Manchester United at Molineux.

Mia Man’s tips for fermentation

- Start with a simple recipe such as yogurt or sauerkraut

- Keep your hands and kitchen tools clean. Sanitize knives, cutting boards, tongs and storage jars with boiling water before you start.

- Mold is bad: the colour pink is a sign of mold. If yogurt turns pink as it ferments, you need to discard it and start again. For kraut, if you remove the top leaves and see any sign of mold, you should discard the batch.

- Always use clean, closed, airtight lids and containers such as mason jars when fermenting yogurt and kraut. Keep the lid closed to prevent insects and contaminants from getting in.
