Europa League winners hope to finish a dismal Premier League campaign with a flourish under Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham finish the Premier League season at home to Brighton today in their first match since winning the Europa League.
Spurs enjoyed one of their greatest nights on Wednesday as they downed Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao to lift a first major trophy since 2008, vindicating Ange Postecoglou’s claim that he always wins silverware in his second season.
Today’s game will mark the close of a Premier League campaign which few fans will want to remember, with the club mired in 17th place, though that may serve as all the more inspiration to celebrate.
There was party enough on Wednesday as fans at a watch party invaded the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium pitch, and the happy vibe should continue this weekend.
For Brighton, the tie is effectively a dead rubber. The Seagulls still have a very slim chance of qualifying for next year’s Conference League with a win, but they would need Chelsea to lose both their visit to Nottingham Forest and next week’s Conference League final against Real Betis.
A point will be enough for them to confirm an eighth-place finish, a three-place improvement on the previous campaign.
Tottenham vs Brighton is scheduled for a 4pm BST kick-off time today on Sunday May 25, 2025.
The match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London.

Postecoglou has confirmed that Cristian Romero and Heung-min Son will both miss out today, with Yves Bissouma also a doubt. Lucas Bergvall was ruled out of Wednesday’s final despite travelling with the squad, while Timo Werner has a hamstring injury.
It had previously been announced that James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin were all out for the season, though all three were present in Spain to celebrate their title.
Tariq Lamptey and Jason Steele face late fitness tests for Brighton, while Joao Pedro will miss out again after he sat out last week’s win over Liverpool after a training-ground altercation with Jan Paul van Hecke.
Georginio Rutter, Solly March, Ferdi Kadioglu and James Milner are all sidelined.
It is hard to imagine Spurs turning up to this game with all guns blazing - more likely they will be rather cloudy-headed after the celebrations from Bilbao.
Brighton, though, have little to play for. Ending the season away from home with nothing on the line but eighth place in the table is hardly motivating.
All signs point to a quiet end to both sides’ campaigns, as both managers will likely look to hand their fringe players one last run out before they jet off for their summer holidays, though Brighton’s quality may see them through as Tottenham ward off a hangover.
Brighton to win, 1-0.
Brighton won the reverse of this fixture back in matchweek seven, recovering after trailing by two at the break to win 3-2.
