Out of all the teams on the hook, it is West Brom who are in the least favourable position despite their heroics in the last few weeks where they've gone undefeated in the last five games. The Baggies' fate is no longer in their own hands and by the time they kick-off this Sunday they could already be relegated depending on how things go with the midweek fixtures and West Brom getting a huge win against Crystal Palace.
Speaking of midweek fixtures, the most important of which being Swansea hosting Southhampton in a do or die match where a win for either side would go some way to confirm their Premier League status for next season. Southhampton will definently need to go all out in Wales as Manchester City await them at Saint Mary's on Sunday.
Swansea, on the other hand, are in a better position as they host Southhampton and an already relegated Stoke on the final day, however the Swans haven't been the form lately losing three of their last five matches so things might not be so straight forward.
Huddersfield, on paper, look to be in prime position to remain in the league with only a win in one of their last two fixtures would render any positive results for the teams below them a moot point. Unfortunately, the newly promoted side will have to do it the hard as they take on a Chelsea side who are currently on a five match win streak and the stakes are just as high for the Blues as a win would take them above Spurs for a spot in the Champions League.
The hits keep on coming for Huddersfield as they host Arsenal in their final match, but then again Arsenal haven't won a match away from home in 2018 and the Terriers should come out all guns blazing to secure their future in the Premier League.
Excellent
