The Premier League relegation race is heading into the final day, when two clubs will be heading into the Championship for next season.
A point for Leicester City on Monday night means that they have overtaken Leeds United, and kept their hopes of survival alive, but any of the Foxes, Everton and Leeds could yet drop out of the Premier League.
We took a look at what each club needs to do to survive, and who will be joining Southampton in the Championship for 2023-24.

How Everton can stay up
Sean Dyche’s side may be without star man Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but a last minute equaliser from Yerry Mina has kept their own destiny firmly in their hands.
A draw complicates things, with a win for Leicester condemning the Toffees to the Championship, and they could even fall below Leeds were the Yorkshire side to win by three goals at home to Tottenham.
They could also afford to lose, but would need both Leeds and Leicester to avoid winning to ensure that they stay up.
How Leicester City can stay up
The point away against Newcastle on Monday night has made Leicester a little more likely to stay up, but they must still win against West Ham and hope that Everton drop points.
Should this happen, only a 10 goal swing in goal difference would see Leeds leapfrog them (needing Leeds to win by 11 or more goals). So, while not mathematically in the clear from this scenario, they are all but.
A draw for the Foxes would not be good enough even if Everton were to lose, meaning that it will be all to play for at the King Power against a West Ham side who will have one eye on their Conference League final.
How Leeds United can stay up
Leeds’ destiny is out of their own hands, but to have any chance of survival they must beat Tottenham at Elland Road and hope that neither Leicester or Everton win their own games.
Even if Everton were to pick up a draw against Bournemouth, Leeds would need a minor miracle and to win by three goals to have any chance of staying up, a result which would see them survive ahead of Everton by virtue of goals scored.
