The fate of Hull City in the English Premier League will be decided on the final day of the season tomorrow, when they host Manchester United at the KC Stadium.

The Tigers must beat the Red Devils and hope Newcastle fail to have the better of West Ham United at St James’ Park.

On Wednesday, Sunderland secured their top-flight status after a battling goalless draw at Arsenal, leaving Hull and Newcastle in a tussle to avoid the remaining relegation spot following the downfalls of QPR and Burnley.

Hull manager Steve Bruce is praying for one last final day twist as his team look to pull off an unlikely great escape.

Manchester United are destined to take part in the Champions League play-offs this summer as they could not go beyond a 1-1 draw against Arsenal at Old Trafford last weekend.

TV pundit Gary Neville thinks Manchester United should do all they can to get the speedy Gareth Bale if goalkeeper David De Gea heads in the opposite direction to join Real Madrid.

At St James Park, Newcastle line up against West Ham in the last fixture of the campaign.

Newcastle hope for a sixth home win this season which will ensure survival.

The equation for the Magpies is quite straightforward: win and they are safe regardless of what Hull do tomorrow.

But that is something they have not managed since February 28, and anything less could prove fatal with the Tigers, who trail the Magpies by two points, enjoying a superior goal difference.

Manager John Carver could have midfielder Siem de Jong back at his disposal following his return to training after a thigh injury problem, while central defender Mike Williamson returns after serving a two-match ban for his dismissal at Leicester City.

Champions Chelsea will play at Stamford Bridge when they host Sunderland.

The Blues, who on Monday lost to West Brom 3-0, will be without Cesc Fabregas who saw red at the Hawthorns.

On Wednesday, Fabregas had his three-match ban reduced to one game. The Spaniard was shown a red card in the first half of the upset to the Baggies at the Hawthorns for unsportsmanlike conduct by referee Mike Jones.

With the Premier League title secured, manager Jose Mourinho will give some of his academy stars a chance to shine.

Chelsea are already being linked with a surprise double swoop in summer to sign Manchester City duo Edin Dzeko and Yaya Toure.

At Arsenal, Arsene Wenger was jumping for joy after his side snatched a late equaliser at Old Trafford to all but seal a top-three position in the Premier League table.

Tomorrow, FA Cup finalists Gunners are at the Emirates to entertain West Brom.

Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has revealed he came close to leaving the Londoners before his breakthrough into the first team as midfielder Santi Cazorla admits that dropping points in key away games had cost team dearly in recent years.

Manchester City, sure of their runners-up position in the final standings, host Southampton at the Etihad Stadium.

City manager Manuel Pellegrini insisted that Joe Hart must keep improving if he is to become the best goalkeeper in the English Premier League.

Pellegrini confirmed that talks will be held with Yaya Toure about his future over the summer given the continued speculation in the media.

Meanwhile, Southampton winger Sadio Mane described the fastest hat-trick in Premier League history in the 6-1 win over Aston Villa last week as his “best moment in football”.

Mane’s record was achieved in an astonishing two minutes and 56 seconds.

Tomorrow, Liverpool will be looking to make up for their poor showing in Steven Gerrard’s farewell match against Crystal Palace when they travel to Stoke City.

The Reds looked a poor lot against Crystal Palace last week as they marred Gerrard’s last home match when slumping to a 3-1 defeat at Anfield.
