The final match of the 2025/2026 Premier League season features an emotional duel at Turf Moor between Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Scheduled for Sunday, 24 May 2026, this will be the last chance for both teams to bid farewell to fans before competing in the Championship next season.

Despite both teams having been relegated since April, the match is dubbed a “honour” decider. Burnley, in 19th place, need only a draw to avoid finishing bottom. Meanwhile, Wolves, in 20th with 19 points, must secure all three points away to overtake Burnley.

Key statistics to note from historical data and this season’s form:

Interim manager Mike Jackson faces defensive issues due to Jordan Beyer’s injury, but Zian Flemming’s return to form is a boost. Flemming is expected to replicate his success from the first meeting this season, where he scored two goals against Wolves.

Rob Edwards is likely to retain the 4-2-3-1 formation that provided better balance last week. Mateus Mane will lead the attack, supported by midfield creativity. Wolves’ main issue is their poor away record, having won none of their 18 away matches this season.

Burnley (4-2-3-1): Weiss; Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Pires; Ugochukwu, Florentino; Tchaouna, Ward-Prowse, Anthony; Flemming.

Wolves (4-3-3): Sa; Lima, Mosquera, Bueno, Toti; Andre, J. Gomes, Lemina; Hwang, Mane, Cunha.

Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers have been confirmed for relegation to the Championship next season alongside another team in the relegation zone.

The match can be streamed via the official Premier League broadcasting service in Indonesia.
