Is there a minimum capacity requirement in the stadium for promotion into EPL? Scottish Premiership has that requirement and some teams that would have been otherwise promoted were not due to not having enough seats in their stadium.

Not sure how creditable but...

The ground must have a certified capacity of at least 5,000 which includes 2,000 seats.

Championship Sunday schedule on the networks of NBC:

No game on NBC due to Indy 500 coverage. The three sides fighting relegation get games on TV. If by some chance, Man U doesn't get a Champions League spot clinched later this week against Chelsea, their match against Fulham would be to clinch it.

In addition to this being the final Premier League weekend of the season, it's also playoff final weekend in the EFL Championship, League One, and League Two. All of the finals are being held at Wembley.

The EFL Championship play-off, often referred to as the most lucrative game in soccer, will be held today between Coventry City and Luton Town. Coverage of it will start at 10:40 AM CT with the match beginning at 11:00 AM CT and airing on ESPN+.

All that's left to be decided tomorrow are the 2 other teams being relegated from the Premier League as well as the side that gets the Europa Conference League spot.

Everton will avoid relegation if they win tomorrow vs. Bournemouth. They can also survive if they draw, Leicester City loses to West Ham, and Leeds defeats Spurs by less than 3 goals.

Leicester City would avoid relegation if they win and Everton loses or draws.

Leeds would avoid relegation if they win, Everton loses, and Leicester City draws or loses. If Everton draws rather than loses in that same scenario, then Leeds would need to defeat Spurs by 3 goals to avoid going to the Championship. Everton and Leeds would be tied for GD in that scenario but Leeds would have the tiebreaker on goals scored (74 for Leeds, 57 for Everton).

The Europa Conference League battle is between Aston Villa, Spurs, and Brentford with Villa in the driver's seat to clinch the spot.

Aston Villa will clinch the Europa Conference League spot with a win vs. Brighton & Hove Albion.

Spurs clinch the Europa Conference League spot with a win over Leeds and a draw or loss by Aston Villa.

Brentford would clinch the Europa Conference League spot with a win vs. Manchester City and draw or loss by both Aston Villa and Spurs. If Brentford and Villa tie on points, then Brentford would get the spot based on GD (Brentford +11, Villa +4).

Halftime scores of note:

Everton 0:0 Bournemouth
Aston Villa 2:1 Brighton & Hove Albion
Brentford 0:0 Manchester City
Leeds United 0:1 Spurs
Leicester City 1:0 West Ham United

If current results hold, Leicester City survives and Everton and Leeds are relegated. Villa would get the Europa Conference League spot.
