One of the Premier League’s final-day dead rubbers, doomed Southampton and perennial runners-up Arsenal conclude disappointing campaigns on Sunday afternoon.
The Saints are already preparing for life back in the Championship, while the Gunners are virtually guaranteed to finish second, and here Sports Mole provides details of how to tune into the event.
What time does Southampton vs. Arsenal kick off?
As is tradition, all 10 Premier League matches are kicking off at the same time on the final day of the season, and the first whistle will blow on Southampton vs. Arsenal at 4pm on Sunday.
The Saints and the Gunners have met once before on a Premier League final day in the 2000-01 campaign, where Southampton defeated Arsene Wenger‘s Arsenal 3-2 at The Dell, the last competitive match to be played at the hosts’ former home.
Where is Southampton vs. Arsenal being played?
Twenty-four years on from closing the curtains on The Dell, Southampton and Arsenal collide at the Saints’ St Mary’s Stadium this weekend.
Every single one of Southampton’s eight Premier League wins against the Gunners has come at home, but Arsenal have not lost their final game of a campaign since all the way back in 2005.

For Southampton, simply finishing with the highest points total possible and salvaging a little bit of pride, but they have already surpassed Derby County’s record low of 11 points from 2007-08.
Meanwhile, Arsenal could still be knocked out of second spot by Manchester City, but the Gunners need just the one point to be sure of a third consecutive silver medal.
