Nottingham Forest and Leeds United have secured their places in the Premier League for next season. Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over a London side on Sunday afternoon ensured mathematical safety for both clubs, with two games remaining for Forest and three for Leeds.
Arsenal’s last-minute wonder leaves TWO London clubs in relegation meltdown
The result leaves just one relegation spot to be decided in the final weeks of the 2025/26 campaign. Leandro Trossard scored the only goal late in the match against West Ham United, a result that dramatically narrowed the bottom-of-the-table fight. Forest picked up a valuable point in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United earlier on Sunday, extending their buffer, while Leeds benefited without playing. Burnley and Wolves had already been relegated.
The remaining battle now pits two London clubs directly against each other for survival, with fixtures including Tottenham Hotspur hosting Leeds on Monday and further matches to come. Controversy over a disallowed goal and VAR decisions in the Arsenal-West Ham game has fueled fan frustration, but the points outcome has clarified the picture heading into the decisive final stretch of the season.
