sport news Nine young stars hoping to be unleashed on the final day of the Premier League ... trends now

On Sunday afternoon, the curtain will fall on one of the most eventful seasons in Premier League in recent history. 

Whilst Manchester City may have wrapped up the title and the top four places have been decided, there is still a Europa Conference League place up for grabs between Spurs, Aston Villa and Brentford

Meanwhile, at the bottom end of the table, two of Everton, Leeds and Leicester will join Southampton in exiting the league for the Championship next season.  

The final day also presents an opportunity for sides to look forward, and as well as some shiny new kits on display we could also see some new names take to the field for a first-team chance. 

Here, Mail Sport looks at nine players who could take advantage of a first-team run out on the Premier League's finale to the season.

Dominic Ballard (Southampton)

The Saints will be preparing for life in the Championship next season and, while that may see some of their stars depart the club, it could present opportunities for some of the younger talent - including promising striker Dominic Ballard. 

The forward already has two first-team goals to his name, having netted in both cup competitions this season, and given Southampton's lack of a goal-scorer this year it would be the perfect time to show what he could do next year to help Southampton bounce straight back up. 

At youth level, he's proved to be as prolific as they come - having netted 13 goals in 16 Premier League 2 appearances this season, with three assists as well.

Zidane Iqbal (Manchester United)

Another midfielder who's on the brink of the first-team after impressing in United's Under-21 team and on international duty for Iraq earlier this year. 

Iqbal has already made his full debut for the club, becoming the first British South Asian to play in the Champions League when he appeared against Young Boys last season. 

With the big all-Manchester Cup Final up ahead, Sunday could be the ideal time to give the tricky midfield star his Premier League bow.

Carney Chukwuemeka (Chelsea)

The teenage midfielder swapped Aston Villa for the Blues in the summer, but has found it difficult to break into Chelsea's huge squad after Todd Boehly's £600m spending spree. 

With just 13 Premier League appearances this term, and no goal involvements to show for it, it's certainly been a season of adjustment for Chukwuemeka. 

Frank Lampard has started to give the younger players a runout in Chelsea's final games and it could see another opportunity for Chukwuemeka to stake a claim in what will be a number of squad changes for the West London club in the summer.
