Sky Sports will broadcast Everton’s home game with Bournemouth and Leicester’s clash with West Ham at the King Power Stadium, while BT Sport will show Leeds against Tottenham at Elland Road.

Leicester, Everton and Leeds will be shown live on TV on the final day after the Premier League announced the picks which has seen Sky Sports and BT Sport focus on the relegation battle
The Premier League title is sewn up after Arsenal’s defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday gifted it to Manchester City.
Elsewhere, the race for the top four is almost decided, with Newcastle already qualifying for next season’s Champions League while Manchester United need just one point from their final two games against Chelsea and Fulham to ensure they return to Europe’s premier club competition.
Liverpool are guaranteed to finish at least fifth, while Brighton have almost certainly secured sixth, given they are three points clear of Aston Villa in seventh with a goal difference that is 16 goals better.
Villa, Tottenham and Brentford can all secure qualification for the Europa Conference League, but it remains in the hands of Unai Emery’s side as they host Brighton.
Everton are currently in the best position to survive, given they are two points clear of 18th place Leicester and 19th place Leeds.
The Foxes are boosted by having a much superior goal difference to their relegation rivals, but they must win their game against the Hammers and hope Everton fail to beat Bournemouth.
Leeds must better the result of Leicester and hope they manage to overturn their three goal deficit to Sean Dyche’s side.
