Relegation Battle: One week remaining

image

Remaining matches that impact relegation:

5/14: Arsenal vs. Wigan

5/19: Wigan vs. Aston Villa; Tottenham vs. Sunderland

Heading into the final week of the Barclays Premier League, the final team relegated has yet to be determined. Following recent results Stoke, Norwich, Newcastle, Southampton, and Fulham have sealed their spots in the Premier League for next season.

All eyes will be on the match between Arsenal and Wigan on Tuesday. Arsenal is battling for a Champions League position and Wigan is fighting for survival. A Wigan loss will be a dagger in their campaign and would condemn them to the Championship next season.

If the Latics beat the Gunners, Sunday’s matchup between Wigan and Aston Villa could have Premier League life or death riding on it.

With 2 weeks remaining, there are still 10 Premier League teams that can be mathematically relegated to the npower Championship. To say that every game left on the team’s schedule is a must-win would be a drastic understatement.

Here are just a few of the matches that could be the difference between survival and relegation:

  • 5/7: Wigan vs Swansea City
  • 5/12: QPR vs Newcastle
  • 5/12: Southampton vs Sunderland
  • 5/19: Wigan vs Aston Villa

Heads, you lose.

Marouane Fellaini seemed to lose his cool during Everton’s 1-1 draw with Stoke City on Saturday. He was caught apparently head-butting Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross.

The referee didn’t see his foul move, but the cameras did. Even his own boss condoned his actions.

Everton manager David Moyes said, ”I’ve seen it, it’s a terrible thing to do and I expect him to be punished. I’ve told him it’s not acceptable and whatever he gets, he and us deserve it.”

Fellaini was quick to apologize after the match, but he’ll likely get a lengthy suspension once the video is reviewed.
