So, if Leicester win both of their final matches they’ll survive irrespective of what Everton and Leeds do. Goal difference will get them clear.
Lose tomorrow (almost certain, you’d think) , it’s still possible they can survive but it then depends on the other two not getting points in the final round and Leicester beating West Ham.
Really, they need a miracle at Newcastle or theyre cooked. I can see Everton knicking points from Bournemouth in a must-survive scenario.
On our side of the coin, thank goodness we’re not part of the equation! I’m hopeful we can go to Palace and get a result. We can’t catch the Hammers, but it’s possible we could jump Bournemouth into 15th. Which I’d have accepted gleefully last July.
Leicester nearly nicked a winner at the end. But yeah, all to play for on Sunday for those 3 clubs. Leeds, Leicester, I’m not overly fussed which one of you stays up, but please relegate Everton and you’ll always have a soft spot in my heart!
Everton 33 points v Bournemouth
Leicester 31points v West Ham.
Leeds 31 points v Spurs.
Bournemouth checked out a while ago , they’ve been poor. I’d expect Everton to claim the points in this situation , which makes the others irrelevant. But you never know, I guess. Leicester’s goal difference will save them if they can get a win and Everton only draw. No idea how committed Hammers will be, they have the Europa to win but it is almost two weeks away. And who the hell can guess what Spurs will produce. All over the shop.
Interesting quirk that all three have home games at the death. I’m very thankful Forest don’t need a win at Palace to survive.
Kind of funny how it came to be
Mrsharvs asked me just after we lost to Liverpool what I wanted for my birthday
I said a Forest shirt
She said but they’re gonna get relegated
Don’t care I have faith and may be years before I can get one with an EPL badge
So I ordered it and we won our last three home games which I’m more than happy to take the credit for
Brighton with a well deserved point against City.
Top 6 and a Euro spot was already assured but they can’t catch Liverpool now. Amazing season for them
I like Brighton, a great business model and they’re just solidly good. I thought they might get unsettled when Potter left, but no, their system just ticks over and they get it done.
That said, their last 5 or 6 weeks is extraordinary, lol. Hammered by Everton, badly beaten by Forest, smack Arsenal, slaughtered Wolves, defeat ManU . Good luck making sense of that formline.
