Domestic action comes to a halt for the 2014-2015 season in England, Spain, Germany and France this weekend, signaling the final stand for those teams in danger of relegation.

In the English Premier League, with the top of the table already determined, the focus moves to action at the bottom of the table, with Hull City and Newcastle both in danger of relegation. Hull City hosts Manchester United and Newcastle hosts West Ham United, both on Sunday.

La Liga will see another battle of who stays in the top flight as Eibar and Almeria are both just two points behind Granada and Deportivo in the relegation battle. Eibar hosts bottom-team Cordoba while Almeria hosts Valencia, who could use a result to hold off Sevilla for a Champions League spot.

Finally in Germany, the battle for second place and the battle for relegation are the two main courses of this weekend’s action, with six teams all battling to stay out of relegation and Borussia Mönchengladbach fighting to hold onto second place.

Here is what is happening in Europe’s top five leagues this weekend:

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE

Hull City needs a win to remain in the top flight. Two points behind Newcastle, Hull City will need to defeat Manchester United, while hoping for a Newcastle loss or draw to West Ham.

Tottenham and Liverpool are still battling for fifth place, and a Europa League berth, as Tottenham visits Everton while Liverpool travels to the Britannia to take on at Stoke City.

Southampton visits Man City in a game with second place guaranteed for the hosts. As for the visitors, they have 60 points and a chance to jump into fifth or sixth place ahead of Liverpool and Tottenham for a place in next season’s Europa League.

Here are the fixtures in the final week of play this season in the EPL:

Arsenal-West Brom

Villa-Burnley

Chelsea-Sunderland

Palace-Swansea

Everton-Tottenham

Hull-Man United

Leicester-QPR

Man City-Southampton

Newcastle-West Ham

Stoke-Liverpool

LA LIGA

In the La Liga goalscoring race, Cristiano Ronaldo has 45 goals opposed to Lionel Messi’s 41. Being four ahead and having a final match at home against Getafe, CR7 should comfortably win the Pichichi, given to the league’s top scorer. The award will prove to be the biggest honor given to Real Madrid, given the club’s trophy-less campaign.

While both Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have locked up Champions League spots, Valencia will look to do the same with a result against Almeria. Up a point on Sevilla while maintaining the head-to-head tiebreaker, a victory will lock up the spot, while a draw or loss opens the door for Sevilla to jump into the top four.

Here are the closing fixtures in La Liga this season:

Levante-Elche

Almeria-Valencia

Bilbao-Villarreal

Barcelona-Deportivo

Celta Vigo-Espanyol

Eibar-Cordoba

Granada-Atletico

Malaga-Sevilla

Rayo-Sociedad

Real Madrid-Getafe

Hannover hosts Freiburg while Paderborn welcomes Stuttgart and Hamburg faces a tough test in a home matchup with Schalke.

SERIE A

Juventus, the Serie A champions, will close the season out at home against Napoli just days after hoisting the Copa Italia trophy against Lazio in a 2-1 victory. Napoli could have overlapped Lazio into third if they had not allowed 13 more goals than the capital-based squad.

 

Sampdoria can still finish in sixth ahead of Genoa which as they look for a Europa League playoff spot. Sampdoria visits Empoli while Genoa hosts Inter Milan.
