Relegation places could be decided today

|

Stoke City need to beat Crystal Palace this lunchtime to avoid relegation. The Potters are winless in 12 games need to win their remaining two games to have a slim chance of avoiding relegation. A loss or draw in the early kick-off will seal Stoke’s fate and see them in the Championship next season.  Should they defy the odds and beat in-form Palace they need to beat Swansea away on the last day of the season.

Likewise, West Brom faces relegation today as they face Spurs at 3pm. The Baggies are winless in their past six home games in the Premier League. They will need to beat both Spurs and Palace next Sunday to pull off the greatest of escapes but would need to rely on Swansea, Southampton and Stoke not scoring any more points. By 5 pm we could see both West Brom and Stoke City relegated.

The final relegation place will not be decided today.

Southampton on 32 points need at least one win to have a chance of survival from their last three games. They face Everton away this afternoon with Swansea away on Tuesday before facing Man City at home next Sunday.

Swansea on 33 points face Bournemouth away this afternoon before facing fellow relegation strugglers Swansea on Tuesday and Stoke next Sunday.

Huddersfield on 35 points on a goal difference of -29 have the toughest of run-ins, they face Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal.

West Ham also on 35 points on a  goal difference of -24 still have a chance of relegation if they fail to pick up any points in their last three games. The Hammers face Leicester City away this afternoon before Man United next Thursday and Everton next Sunday.
