Feels like Leicester really need something from tonight's game. Newcastle will beat them and the West Ham game might be too late already. Then again their (relatively) decent goal difference could become a factor too.


16) Forest 36 -31 34
17) Everton 36 -24 32
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
18) Leeds 36 -25 31
19) Leicester 35 -15 30
20) Southampton 36 -35 24


Forest fixtures:

Arsenal (H)
Palace (A)

Everton fixtures:
Wolves (A)
Bournemouth (H)

Leicester fixtures:
Liverpool (H)
Newcastle (A)
West Ham (H)

Leeds fixtures:
West Ham (A)
Spurs (H)

Southampton fixtures:
Brighton (A)
Liverpool (H)
If Leicester some how win tonight. I think Everton are going down.

Looking like Leicester will go down, who takes the 3rd spot?
Forest (34 pts) remaining games: Arsenal (H), Palace (A)
Everton (32 pts) remaining games: Wolves (A), Bournemouth (H)
Leeds (31 pts) remaining games: West Ham (A), Tottenham (H)


You'd think Everton have easiest 2 games left as both Wolves and Bournemouth have nothing to play for. Forest are good at home so have a chance vs Arsenal but it's still against best away team in the league. Leeds can get something at West Ham and vs Spurs, it's just case of if they can get a win in either or only draws which wouldn't be enough.

Wolves away will not be easy at all and Everton are shit at home.

Forest are safe I reckon.

All depends on Leeds. Can never predict how Wet Spam or Spuds will play.

Really want to see Everton go down.

Leicester are surely down now given their next game is Newcastle away, they likely need 2 wins from 2 to stay up.

Think Forest and Everton survive. Leeds go down.

Quite fancy Forest against a demoralised Arsenal side at the weekend for some reason.

Absolutely - we’ve beaten them twice at the City Ground in recent years In cup games. I would think the last place Arsenal would to come will be a loud and hostile CG against a united and motivated Forest.

Leeds & Everton have the easiest set of fixtures left. They could potentially get the four points that would probably get them to safety.

Leicester have it in them to beat West Ham but it would most likely be too late by then. I think Forest need a point to survive, Everton probably three. Really hope West Ham & Spurs do their jobs properly.

Hard to see anything other than Leicester and Leeds joining Southampton.

West Ham resting players for ECL could play a big role in whether it's Forest or Leeds. I fancy Everton to get enough points.

I think Forest will draw with arsenal and Leeds will beat a highly rotated West Ham

If Leeds win tomorrow against a tired West Ham team. Everton in big big trouble.

Leeds couldn’t ask for a better last day home fixture to stay up. (Spurs).

Can't see Leeds or Leicester picking up another point. Feels like what was an exciting relegation battle will end up being a complete dud on the final day.

Everton will beat a Bournemouth team on their holidays. Leeds have to win their remaining games. Leicester are down pretty much

As long as Leeds go down there is still some right in the world.

I really wanted Everton to go down, but really could not choose a better last fixture.

Congratulations to Forest. Let's hope Leicester or Everton stay up as well.

And for tomorrow, come on West Ham!

Happy to see Forest stay up another year. Shame one of the others has to survive.

Nottingham Forest is full of fighters. It really surprises me to see a very talented player like Gibbs-White was fighting so hard. Our squad lacks of enough fighters.

I’d take it to be honest as it would be funnier seeing Everton going down
A tired West Ham team who have nothing to play for in the league and most of their players won’t want to miss their EC final.

And then Spurs at home, who are a joke at the moment.

I really think big Sam will do it!

Everton going down would be huge. Looks like Bournemouth have lost intensity over the last month so not sure they'll be bothered to scrap their way to a draw (I think Leeds will beat Spurs so draw wouldn't be enough for Everton).

Have no idea how they played v you guys today bar the scoreline.

I don’t mind having Leeds in the PL. Makes for a tasty fixture

Everton try harder against United than Liverpool, so they can feck off
