The Swansea-Southampton result could settle the entire thing. A Swansea win tonight puts Southampton in a massive hole. West Ham are safe. I still think Huddersfield gets relegated on the final day.

Huddersfield will be hoping it's not a draw tonight,
then they'll only need 1 point instead of 2.

Anything other than a draw tonight seals West Brom's fate. Southampton have to win this as they play City on the last day. Huddersfield are in a spot of bother playing Chelsea away and Arsenal at home. Would love it if they could throw everything at Chelsea and earn at least a point. If they lose both games, and Swansea and Southampton win one of their two games, Huddersfield's GD is going to send them packing.

Ideal results in my book -

Swansea v Southampton &
Swansea v Stoke = West Brom, Swansea (on GD) relegated

Chelsea v Huddersfield - draw &
Huddersfield v Arsenal = Huddersfield safe

If Swansea win today, Huddersfield are safe since Southampton play City on the last day and they have no prayer there. For our sake I hope Swansea lose today so the pressure is still on Huddersfield to perform at Chelsea tomorrow. If they go into that game knowing they are largely safe, whatever little incentive they have of going there to get points is gone.

It depends on how motivated the City players are with this being a WC year. Also after that heroic performance against City, I can't see Huddersfield being able to replicate it against Chelsea and Arsenal.

Yeah agreed, but City will be aiming for the 100 point total. With 6 points and 2 games to go, they'd be going for 2 wins definitely.

They won't mate but the chances of Southampton winning that game are slim. Like I said above, City will be aiming for 100 points this season and won't already be on their holiday just yet.

Huddersfield are in a real dilemma. It's hard to rest players when you only need to get a point from two games but I was impressed with Chelsea on the weekend and can't see them dropping points in a must win home game. So the temptation must be to rest some players and then go all out in the home game vs Arsenal to make it the grottiest football game the world has seen. I think the Arsenal players might feel like they have given Wenger the big send off by winning his last home game 5-0. How many of them are potentially off to the World Cup and might be thinking twice about charging in for 50/50s?

It's a big ask though and I can't see Swansea not winning against a Stoke team where the dressing room already seem to be staging the post season inquisition into whose fault it all is.

Doing pretty well with my predictions here. Only place I could go wrong is the Huddersfield-Arsenal game, which I think Huddersfield will get at least a point out of. Should have stuck some money on these results.

City are away and Southampton know they just have to avoid a cricket score, so they'll just be ultra defensive and play for a 0-2 or something.

Updating and bumping up the last season thread because it seems that we can easily continue where we left off. Let me explain why I think the "Premier League" is actually an amalgamation of three or four mini leagues of teams with different aims. On the top, there are teams that will compete for the Championship; City, Liverpool and Chelsea, and these teams will be competing for silverware in Europe as well. They can afford to spend considerable transfer fees and keep players on healthy contracts, both on the field and on the benches. I see them as part of the larger European league of teams, like Real, Barca, Bayern, PSG etc. Then there is United, Arsenal and Spurs, who will chase the coveted fourth place. The gap between this mini-league isn't too big and can be bridged.

Next, I see a bigger list of clubs that I like to now call, the Confused league. The likes of Everton, Leicester, West Ham, Southampton, etc., who would like to get in to the top 6-7 on a consistent basis but the cost of doing so, leveraging future earnings, paying over the top to attract the upper mid-tier talent, can just as easily push them in the opposite direction. Take Burnley for example, they played last season to get in to Europe, started horrifically this season, and actually took a sigh of relief getting knocked out of Europa League. Similarly, West Brom, Swansea, and Stoke City, all got relegated in an attempt to move up the table. So if either Bournemouth, Watford or Wolves find themselves in the same position by the end of the season, they will be wondering what now come July-August 2019.

This brings me to the Relegation League, last season it was a ten team competition, this season might be a little different because certain teams were able to consolidate somewhat and improve while others completely stagnated. I see Cardiff, Huddersfield, Newcastle struggle massively, while Brighton, Fulham have the potential to join them if the former three start improving considerably. West Ham, Southampton, Palace have better goal scorers, so unless someone comes along and plucks Zaha off or if Ings gets injured, these three will be safe.

I think you have overthought this.

There is the top 6, and then the rest are relegation fodder.

Just possibly a middle group of teams who will likely never get relegated, but hand on heart I can only think of Everton who can claim to be in that group. I wouldn't let even the likes of Leicester or Southampton in there.

Top 6 and 14 clubs fighting against relegation. There is both a team performance difference and revenue difference. And it is getting wider every year for the last 10 years.

NB: The revenue difference between Spurs and Everton is greater than the difference between Everton and Burnley.

I'd say at this moment, it is looking more and more likely to be Southampton, Burnley and Cardiff. Huddersfield are trying to scrap out of this and Ranieri will get Fulham out eventually. The former three can't stop conceding but also can't score at all.

Hughes will get the sack and these will improve too. This years relegation spots will be closely contested me thinks.

Yeah you can never predict which teams are going to be down there this early because all it takes is a managerial change, a bit of a bounce, and relegation certainties can be comfortably mid-table. Two weeks ago I'd have fancied Fulham to go down, now I cannot see them being close.

So given the above, I'd fancy Cardiff and Burnley to be in trouble because I cannot see either of those clubs sacking their managers. Huddersfield can probably be added to that as well albeit I think they would be one of the few clubs worse off by making a change.

Huddersfield are in the deep end and unless they add a goalscorer in January, they seem to be done. The other two relegation spots will be occupied by two of Newcastle, Cardiff, Southampton, Burnley, and Fulham. I hope Palace gets dragged down as well but they are a good squad with some tidy goal scorers (read Zaha). Dyche and Warnock to go down will do just fine.

they do have some decent playes, but Zaha isn't getting them the goals so far this season. 13 games without one after today I think. They seem to want Solanke, so that would help! They should be ok.

Huddersfield are done. They might as well use January to plan for the Championship. It used to be that a struggling side might still have someone who could score 10+ goals to keep them up. They seem to be a rare commodity that end up near the top of the overall scoring charts.

Same. Also the repeated talk of them being in the EL as a reason for their slow start is laughable. They played a grand total of six games in what was essentially an extended preseason. Last season they had incredible amounts of luck that was never going to be sustainable

Sean Dyche doesn't like this comment. If it was a furren manager that was using this excuse, you would never have said that. Sean Dyche can train em up and make them press too.

I think they probably let Solanke decide from the choices? So long as Liverpool where first happy he'd get game time, it was then up to him to say which out of the teams approved by Liverpool. I actually think Palace would be better really in terms of the players there already.
