Bayer Leverkusen have become the first team in Bundesliga history to go through a season unbeaten after a 2-1 home win over Augsburg on Saturday, extending their season-long run to 51 games without defeat.

Crowned Bundesliga champions for the first time in their history in April, goals from Victor Boniface and Robert Andrich put Leverkusen — who play the Europa League final against Atalanta and the German Cup final this week — on course for victory and a possible unbeaten treble.

Elsewhere, Leverkusen’s neighbouring rivals Cologne were relegated after a 4-1 loss at Heidenheim.

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has admitted that Arsenal will be their closest Premier League title challengers going forward.

City are on the brink of a record fourth-straight title this weekend if they defeat West Ham on Sunday.

However, they could lose it if they drop points and Arsenal beat Everton at the Emirates.


Ahead of these fixtures, Guardiola expects Arsenal to be title challengers for years to come.

He told Sky Sports: “For the future? Arsenal are giving the message… and we take it.

“I have a few certain things in my life. I wake up in the morning and I am going to sleep in the night.

“The other certain[ty], with the age they [Arsenal] have, the manager they have, the way they’ve played the last two seasons – they will stay here for a long, long time. That’s why we get the message.”

Brighton and Hove Albion boss, Roberto De Zerbi, will leave the Premier League club by mutual consent after their last game on Sunday.

De Zerbi took charge at the Amex Stadium in September 2022 and led Brighton to their highest-ever top-flight finish when they came sixth in 2022-23.

Brighton sit in tenth place on the EPL table and will host Manchester United in the final game of the season on Sunday.

In a post on the club’s X account, the club announced, “Brighton & Hove Albion has confirmed that head coach Roberto De Zerbi will leave the club after tomorrow’s final Premier League match of the season against Manchester United.”

Brighton chairman, Tony Bloom announced that the club and Roberto De Zerbi have mutually agreed to end his contract.
