On the final day there is only really one thing left to decide. Who will go down between Hull and Newcastle? However, with big points still to be won in the fantasy football stakes, why not see if you can better our expert's last XI of 2014/15?
Among the offerings at MondoGoal they're running their weekly league that offers the chance to win £1,000 worth of prizes in a competition that costs just £5 to enter, and it's very simple to submit your team into numerous leagues in just a couple of clicks.
The following are our expert's tips - remaining within the £100m budget – for the final round of Premier League matches this season.
Jack Butland - £5.6m (home vs Liverpool)
It's a gamble now that Asmir Begovic is back fit, but after back-to-back clean sheets from understudy Jack Butland, Mark Hughes should reward the youngster with a place in the side against Liverpool. The Reds have failed to win in their last 4 away games, scoring just twice in the process, while the Potters have conceded just 4 in their last 6 at the Britannia.
Branislav Ivanovic - £8.1m (home vs Sunderland)
Now that their safety is assured Sunderland have very little to play for and could be forgiven for taking their eye off the ball after a demanding match in midweek. Chelsea, meanwhile, will want to bounce back from defeat last time out and get revenge on the Black Cats, who beat them in this fixture last season, in the process. The Blues have conceded just 8 goals at home this season, while their visitors have scored just 14 on the road.
Leandro Bacuna - £7.5m (home vs Burnley)
He may have been part of a defence that conceded 6 last time out but Leandro Bacuna also picked up his 5th assist of the season, and 4th for Christian Benteke. Only Fabregas to Costa has been a more fruitful combination this season, and Villa will be aiming to bounce back and win their third successive home game against relegated Burnley, who have scored just one in eight.
Hector Bellerin - £8.0m (home vs West Brom)
Arsenal may have drawn another blank at home on Wednesday night but they also kept another clean sheet and will be confident of a fifth in 7 matches at the Emirates when they host West Brom. The Gunners have kept the Baggies at bay in 5 of their last 6 meetings in North London and Bellerin offers a great threat going forward on the right.
Robert Huth - £6.9m (home vs QPR)
Home and hosed after a fantastic end to the season, Leicester will want to finish with a flourish against relegated QPR. Their defensive record has improved greatly since the arrival of Robert Huth, keeping 3 successive clean sheets, and Rangers' woes on the road are well documented, picking up just 7 points away from home all season.
Santi Cazorla - £13.5m (home vs West Brom)
While Arsenal failed to break down a resolute Sunderland side in midweek, Cazorla pulled the strings, managing 178 touches - more than any other player in the last 5 seasons in the Premier League. The Spaniard will likely see a lot of the ball once more on Sunday and up against a side that have significantly less to play for than their visitors on Wednesday, the playmaker could pick the lock in what some feel may be his last game at the Emirates.
Yaya Toure - £11.6m (home vs Southampton)
One player who looks even more likely to leave the Premier League this summer is Yaya Toure and if the reports are true that he is Inter-bound then he will be hoping to sign off in style. The Ivorian took his league tally for the season to 10 last time out and has opened the scoring in each of City's last two meetings with the Saints.
Jason Puncheon - £7.6m (home vs Swansea)
The form of Jason Puncheon has been key to Alan Pardew's successful reign as Palace manager up to now, with the midfielder netting in back-to-back games, taking his tally to 6 for the season to help ruin Steven Gerrard's parade last time out. Meanwhile, Sunday's game with Swansea should be an entertaining one between two sides that have exceeded expectations this season.
Bafetimbi Gomis - £11.9m (away vs Palace)
We're tipping goals at Selhurst Park this weekend and one man who has become accustomed to finding the net of late is Bafetimbi Gomis. After a slow start to life in Wales, playing second fiddle to Wilfried Bony, the Frenchman is very much the main man now and has netted 5 in his last 5 appearances ahead of the final day.
Ayoze Perez - £7.4m (home vs West Ham)
It's not necessarily a must win game for Newcastle this weekend but they won't want to take any chances either, against a West Ham side that have eased off the gas of late. Perez has looked like the Magpies’ most capable player for some time now and is the one that could produce a moment of magic to save their bacon, having scored in each of Newcastle's last two home games.
Diego Costa - £11.7m (home vs Sunderland)
Chelsea's top scorer showed no signs of rustiness despite the Blues' defeat last time out, causing a nuisance to the Baggies defence before his second half withdrawal. Costa is set to start the final game of the season against a Sunderland side whose minds may not be on the task ahead, aiming to score his 20th league goal of the season, and his 12th in 12 starts at Stamford Bridge.
