A win for Soton tomorrow and they’re back hoping they can stay. Fun games ahead
Relegation Battle in the Premier League

- Start date
Southampton are pretty much gone already.
I think the other 2 will be Leicester and Leeds.
Forrest have 3 winnable games coming up, Brighton are after doing 120 mins on Sunday, then Brentford and Southampton. Could very well get 6 or 7 points from those 3. I think they'll stay up.
Everton have a horrible run in, but will probably just about beat Bournemouth on the last day to stay.
Bournemouth, will win against Southampton, enough to keep them away from the drop.
Leicester are shite, Everton will beat them next Monday, they have Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham last 3 games.
Leeds are also shit, and have a shit run in I can see them getting hockeyed by City and Newcastle. Down they go.

I''d say they have pretty similar type of schedules. All have two games that they can win* and 1-2 games that they can draw.

It'll be tight alright.
They all seem to have Newcastle and West Ham.
Bournemouth have Leeds and Southampton next two games, if Leeds is Southampton win those, then maybe they might get dragged in.
Might just be wishful thinking on my part that Leeds and Leicester will go down.
It'll be an interesting ending to the season for sure. Don't really know who I want to go down. I mean Leeds would be nice, at the same time Everton is an automatic 6 points for Liverpool so I wouldn't mind them either. Hope Forest & Bournemouth stay up.
Still very close to call, Bournemouth were in bottom 3 for a long time but have got themselves out. Leicester and Forest have dropped down a lot.
I did say Palace and West Ham are good enough a while back and that's come true so far but so much can flip around, it's quite incredible still seeing these bigger clubs all down there. Southampton have been the ever present and Everton just can't seem to get clear. Everton could get saved by the queue around them if Forest, Leeds and Leicester continue to unravel.

Same here.
Never liked Leicester or Leeds, don't really care about Everton to be honest. They're always just there and only raise their game for big games, except Liverpool which is fecking weird.
Wasn't that proven to be a myth? They usually draw at Goodison.
Fair enough, Everton always lose at Anfield and never beat them.
Surprised you aren't aware of the big game raising Everton that have only beaten United twice since 2015 and always roll over to Liverpool.
When is the victory parade? The bottom line is (the following might be an old article but my point stands) - in the Premier League era, the two teams played 28 games before, of which Liverpool won 13, Everton won 2 and the two teams drew 13.

Abysmal record. Liverpool has guaranteed points every single season from playing Everton. They need to be relegated, and it needs to happen soon.
I will campaign for it.
Forrest move out of the relegation zone
It's gonna be really tight between 5 or 6 teams till the end.
C'mon Forest! A huge win.
Chelsea will stay up but they might manage to drag themselves into this conversation by the final day if they stick with Lampard.
Arsenal
Bournemouth
Forest
City
Utd
Newcastle
If they lose to Bournemouth and Forest, it’s on. Another pitch invasion for Lampard as Chelsea secure their Premier League status on the final day of the season with a 0-5 defeat to Newcastle.

Chelsea are 10 points clear of Leicester, it's just about too much to be a real possibility. If it was 7 it would be interesting.
Alarm bells for Chelsea.
Another nail in the coffin for us tonight!
Huge win for Forrest last night.
Shaping up to be a fun end to the season at the bottom.

Not the run in you'd want as a Chelsea fan. I suspect it will be the number of games left to play that will save them over form.
Hope forest can pull it off, as they’re a big club historically and I like Steve Cooper.
Saints are as good as down. Leicester and Everton joining them would be massive and looking fairly likely.

A huge win for Forest yesterday. Everton will not get any points tonight, but Southampton vs Bournemouth match is a big one. Surely the last chance for So'ton. Anything but three points and they're gone.

Beat Leicester, Bournemouth and Wolves and we stay up. Don't think that will happen but that's what needs to be done.
Southampton were unlucky not to win at Arsenal. They've still got a chance but they need to win tonight.
Leeds are nailed on to go down, can't score and can't defend. I don't see where they are picking up points from?
Yeah that should be enough. And who knows regarding taking a point(s) from either Newcastle or Brighton, or both. You've done it against Arsenal, Chelsea, Brentford & Spurs under Dyche.
That’s Leeds problem really, any of their games could unfold any way possible depending on the day. They could beat City the week after losing to Bournemouth and it genuinely wouldn’t surprise me. I think they’ll do enough.
They've beaten Forest, Wolves & So'ton recently so I wouldn't bet against team winning against Bournemouth, West Ham & Spurs. Let's hope not.
Very unlikely as you've only got one away win all season and only three over the last two seasons.
Are you worried that the club might go under if you go down?

The only certainty for me is Southampton are relegated. If they had beaten Arsenal they'd have stood a chance. But momentum is crucial at this point of the season.
It's not that often when all relegated teams have been established PL sides for quite a while. Might happen.
And we need to beat Everton, Fulham & West Ham to stay up. I'm not overly confident but I can but dream !!
I don’t think either of us are.
Just looked at the league, and wow that's bad. I had Southampton, Bournemouth and Forest nailed on to go down and it could end up being Everton, Leicester or Leeds instead. Madness that Everton are in this position.
I just dont see everton scoring enough to stay up. Feel bad for silentwitness but I think their position is a fair reflection of the team, they're pretty terrible. I think leicester have the best team and if they dont completely feck up with the new manager they'll be ok. Leeds look worse than Forest to me but there's not much in it.
Everton’s fixtures…they are fecked.
If they had a goalscorer you might fancy them to nick the odd result. Just dont see it against most of them teams.
If Everton go down and Chelsea lose their remaining fixtures, is that the single worst managerial season in the history of the PL from Frank?
Obviously there are both tough jobs, but I literally don’t think anyone in the game could have done any worse

Like the way the fans have stuck behind Cooper despite their position, I hope they stay up too.
Leeds down with a bit of luck, they have too long a history of twattishness to forget.
Everton are sinking.
City is their next home game. Good luck!
