Tottenham will look to kick on after winning the Europa League
Tottenham’s Europa League party will continue on Sunday, as they host Brighton in their final home match of the season.
The Lilywhites enjoyed one of their greatest nights on Wednesday as they downed Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao to hoist a first trophy since 2008, vindicating Ange Postecoglou’s premonitions that he would win silverware in his second season.
Sunday’s tie 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 Hotspur Stadium pitch, and similar scenes are not unlikely at the 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 on Sunday, May 25, 2025.
The match will take place at Hotspur Stadium.

While Tottenham suffered no new injuries in the Europa League final, several others will be sidelined for their season finale. Lucas Bergvall was ruled out of Wednesday’s tie at the last minute despite flying with the squad, while Timo Werner missed out with a hamstring injury.
It had previously been announced that James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Radu Dragusin had been ruled out for the season, though all three were present in Spain to celebrate their title.
Full-back Tariq Lamptey’s involvement in the tie is in doubt as he recovers from a knee issue. He will be out of contract come the summer, too, with Brighton yet to offer the former Chelsea youngster an extension.
Jason Steele (hand/wrist) will face a late fitness test, while Joao Pedro’s involvement is in doubt after he missed last weekend’s win over Liverpool after a training-ground altercation with Jan Paul van Hecke.
Georginio Rutter will also be evaluated ahead of the tie after missing the Liverpool clash, while Solly March, Ferdi Kadioglu, and James Milner are all expected to miss out with longer-term injuries.
It is hard to imagine Spurs turning up to this tie with all guns blazing - more likely they will be rather cloudy-headed after a night out in 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 managers will likely look to hand their fringe players one last run out before they jet off for summer holidays, though Brighton’s quality may see them through as Tottenham ward off a hangover.
