Tottenham Hotspur face Everton May 24

Tottenham Hotspur went into Sunday’s Premier League finale against Everton with their top-flight status still not mathematically secure, according to Sky Sports and the Premier League. The match was scheduled for May 24 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, with Sky Sports carrying live coverage from 3 p.m. BST and kickoff set for 4 p.m. BST. Sky Sports said Spurs would be safe with a win and that only one combination — a home defeat to Everton and a West Ham win over Leeds United — would send Roberto De Zerbi’s side down. ### How much danger were Tottenham actually in? Sky Sports said Tottenham’s “ever-present Premier League status” was at stake on the final day, but also laid out a narrow relegation path. Spurs entered the day above West Ham and with a superior goal difference, meaning a draw was likely to be enough unless results elsewhere turned against them. (premierleague.com) The Premier League’s official match page listed Tottenham against Everton as one of the 10 simultaneous Matchweek 38 fixtures on Sunday, May 24. The league site showed Michael Oliver as referee and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the venue. ### Why did Cristian Romero become part of the story before kickoff? Sky Sports reported on May 22 that Tottenham captain Cristian Romero had flown to Argentina instead of attending Spurs’ final-day buildup, with De Zerbi saying “not all leaders are the same” when asked about the decision. (skysports.com) The broadcaster said Romero had opted to watch his boyhood club Belgrano while Tottenham prepared for a match with Premier League survival on the line. (premierleague.com) Sky Sports’ live Tottenham news blog then reported on May 24 that Romero was set to be back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the Everton game. That update matched the social-media briefing that said he had returned to London after the midweek trip. ### What did Gary Neville say about Tottenham’s season? (skysports.com) Sky Sports’ social coverage ahead of kickoff highlighted criticism from pundit Gary Neville, who called Tottenham’s season “disgraceful,” according to the source briefing provided for this story. Separate Sky Sports reporting in February had already centered on the same word after Romero publicly described Tottenham’s squad situation as “unbelievable but true and disgraceful.” (skysports.com) Sky Sports’ broader final-day preview framed Tottenham’s campaign as a relegation fight that had reached the last afternoon of the season. NBC Sports used similar language in a live match page asking whether Spurs could get the win they needed to stay in the Premier League. ### What was Everton playing for? (skysports.com) Everton arrived in London for the last match of the season with the fixture confirmed on both clubs’ official sites and the Premier League schedule. Everton’s club site published a live blog for Tottenham v Everton on May 24, while a separate ticket notice had listed the match as sold out. The Premier League fixture list showed Everton’s recent form included a 3-3 draw with Manchester City, a 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace and a 1-3 home loss to Sunderland before the trip to Spurs. (skysports.com) Tottenham’s recent run listed a win at Chelsea after draws and defeats against Brighton, Wolves, Aston Villa and Leeds. ### Where could viewers follow the match? Sky Sports and Yahoo’s syndicated match listing said Tottenham v Everton was available live in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports Main Event, with streaming through Sky Go and NOW. (evertonfc.com) The Premier League’s official page also listed live viewing and listening options for the fixture. Sunday’s match was the final league game of the 2025-26 season for both clubs. (premierleague.com) Tottenham’s official fixture list had flagged the Everton game months ago as the club’s last Premier League match of the campaign, and the league’s Matchweek 38 page placed it alongside the rest of the final-day schedule on May 24.
