The Premier League's final day delivers a high-stakes encounter at Anfield on Sunday, 24 May 2026, as Liverpool welcome Brentford in a match with significant European consequences for both sides. Kick-off is scheduled for 4:00pm BST.

Liverpool's Champions League fate

Liverpool enter the day needing at least a draw to secure Champions League football next season. A fifth-place finish is guaranteed if Arne Slot's side avoid defeat at home — a straightforward enough task, but one that follows a turbulent week on Merseyside.

A defeat at Aston Villa, combined with news surrounding Slot's future and a high-profile statement from Mohamed Salah, has unsettled supporters. Nevertheless, Liverpool hold a three-point cushion over Bournemouth in sixth, meaning they can even afford to lose — provided Bournemouth do not beat Nottingham Forest simultaneously.

For many at Anfield, Sunday carries additional emotional weight: it is expected to be Salah's farewell appearance at his home ground.

Brentford chasing history

Brentford arrive with a realistic — if complicated — route into European football for the first time in the club's history. Keith Andrews' side currently sit outside the European places only on goal difference, meaning a victory at Anfield could prove transformative.

Should Brentford win and both Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion drop points, the Bees would secure a Europa League berth. An alternative scenario also exists: if Brentford win, Brighton win, and Chelsea fail to take all three points against Sunderland, Brentford would leapfrog Chelsea into the Conference League spot. Every combination matters, and Andrews' players will need results elsewhere to go their way.
