               The Premier League is nearing its finale and the fight to escape the Relegation zone has come down to the wire. Norwich City have already been relegated, while two other clubs will join the Championship next season. No team would want to drop down as it means a dip in both fame and finances for the club. There are three relegation threatened teams- Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Watford, and only one of them can escape. The situation is dire for Bournemouth. They need to win and hope that both Aston Villa and Watford lose. Then, they would survive via higher goal difference. That is the only way they can stay up. Anything other than a win for Bournemouth and they would see their hopes go up in smoke.  Both Aston Villa and Watford would want to win and hope that the other drops points.

Currently Sheffield Uni...

The question is, who can hold their nerve, who can qualify for Europe's most coveted competition next season? Runaway winners Liverpool, ending their 30 year old wait for the Trophy, and Manchester City, have already secured the top 2 spots for the UEFA Champions League. It has all come down to a three-way dead lock between Manchester United, Chelsea and Leicester City , where each of them have a fair chance to get into Europe’s elite competition.           The next set of fixtures bring about mouthwatering clashes for the neutrals . It's do or die. With two places left to fill and three in contention for it and the fact that two of them (Man Utd and Leicester) go head to head, leaves the teams with their fate in their own hands.           As it stands, a d...
