Liverpool set for windfall as Premier League ‘saves $131m’ ahead of riches

All eyes will be on the Premier League final day this weekend as Manchester City and Arsenal battle it out for the title. But the richest game in English football will actually take place at Wembley next Sunday.

Southampton has secured its place in the Championship final with a 3-1 victory over West Brom and will now take on Leeds for a place in the Premier League. Daniel Farke’s side swept Norwich aside at Elland Road on Thursday night.

That idea has been proven this season with Leicester, Leeds and Southampton all finishing in the top four. West Brom ended the campaign in fifth, eight points off the Saints and 22 behind champions Leicester.
