Relegation Battle Heats Up

It’s been a long, tough season for the current last five in the Premier League table. It seems the relegation battle will only get its result in the last game of the season. This is the turning point of the season and anything can happen. History is in the making. Here are the possible contenders for it with our predictions. 

16^th Wigan’s ups and downs this season has now taken them just above the relegation zone. It can be called a magic from Roberto Martinez  as they have defeated the big guns Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal in recent weeks. They may survive the battle observing their current form.

Remaining Fixtures: Newcastle(H). Blackburn(A), Wolves(H)

Possibility of getting 4 points to take them from 34 to 38.

17^th QPR has been alternately winning games in last six fixtures. They face Chelsea, Stoke and Man City in their next three games. Still they might be safe this season considering other team’s form.

Remaining Fixtures: Chelsea(A), Stoke(H), Man City(A)

Possibility of getting 3 points to take them from 34 to 37.

18^th Bolton, one of the relegation threatened team, were expected to be out of it at the start of the season reviewing their performances at the end of last season. But manager Owen Coyle has been unable to make sure that they will be in the 1^st tier next season. They have played good football throughout the season but has been unable to produce results at much needed time. They still have 5 games to go, compared with other’s 3. Let’s see what Owen Coyle can make up with his team to survive the threat.

Remaining Fixtures: Aston Villa(A), Sunderland(A), Tottenham(H), West Brom(H), Stoke(A)

Possibility of getting 5 points to take them from 30 to 35.

19^th Blackburn’s season has been full of controversies regarding the owners and the manager. Few months ago the fans wanted the manager out, but now they are after the owners too. With just three games remaining they are among the top three of probable contenders for relegation.

Remaining Fixtures: Tottenham(A), Wigan(H), Chelsea(A)

Possibility of getting 3 points to take them from 31 to 34.

20^th Wolves are nearly sure to be in the Championship next season observing their performances in the past few weeks. With Mick McCarthy sacked in the middle of the season, caretaker manager Terry Connor has not been able to win a game since 12^th February.

Remaining Fixtures: Man City(H), Swansea(A), Everton(H), Wigan(A)

Possibility of getting 2 points to take them from 23 to 25.
