Premier League Relegation Battle Explained

After 37 games, not all is decided, as several clubs can change their fortunes with 90 minutes remaining. Everton, Leicester, and Leeds are all in contention for Premier League survival. Here we break down each club’s ideal final day.

 

Everton

Everton know that if they beat Bournemouth or match the results of Leicester and Leeds, then they will survive the drop. If they don’t then their fate isn’t in their hands as results elsewhere will determine their fate.

 That said, Leicester and Leeds know that they have to win to stand any chance.

 

Leicester

If Everton draw and Leicester beat West Ham, then the Foxes will stay up on goal difference. However, if Leeds also win and there is a nine-goal swing in their favour then Leeds survive.

 

Leeds

If Leeds win, Lecister doesn’t and Everton draw, then Leeds will stay up. But if Leeds win, Leicester doesn’t and Everton draw, then they need to win by three goals to ensure Big Sam beats the drop by goals scored.

 

Does that all make sense?
