A look into Premierships heated relegation race


With the league soon to be crowned champions in Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. We are brace for another interesting race for some squad’s salvation and looking for their permanency to see another day in the ranks of Premiership.

So far, we are aware of one squad sentencing its doom in every match and not presenting any improvement in their game as well their manager not having the ideal formula to deliver some sort of miracle. This squad is West Brom Albion struggling with twenty points and located in spot number 20. 

As this squad with no hopes of staging a comeback with  back to back losses in a consecutive way, we are to say that there are  sentencing their destiny to the ranks of Championship. Still anything can happen as a miracle or a revival this squad can stage, as its players are one determined group but at the end, luck is not on their side.

For other squads in Huddersfield Town situated in fifteenth place 31 points, Crystal Palace sixteenth place 30 points, West Ham seventeenth palace 30 points. Last, three in the red zone are Southampton eighteenth place 28 points; Stoke City nineteenth place 27 points and West Brom twentieth place 20 points.      

Talking about the last three as stated before in the case of the Baggies of Albion battling a series of odd results and time not on their side, the odds of staging a revival are slim but not impossible if they would like to make a dash to their salvation.

For Stoke City under Paul Lambert under the helm, so far the Potters in their last matches they have earned three points of fifteen in play but it is not enough to get out of the danger zone they very deep in the relegation spots. 

In the case of Southampton under Pellegrino and once considered to have one of the best academies in Premiership, along of being a direct supplier of players to the likes of Manu and Liverpool, now they are on the bottom three spots. Still the arrival of Mark Hughes to the Saints helm suddenly is raising some hope of a revival in St. Mary’s Stadium.

With squads in Huddersfield Town, Crystal Palace and West Ham United despite being out of the danger zones but with a slight advantage as anytime the tables turned on these squads if these fail to deliver positive results. As these three squads not yet considered themselves out of the danger zone.

The race to the top will not be the highlight in the remainder months of left of Premiership play but the race in the bottom involving not only three squads but also seven including the Swansea Swans that despite their revival their safety not assured.

At the end, the league is ready to wrap up its calendar and with seven matches left in the campaign, the race for many of these squads survival will depend solely in the results these may get in the upcoming April and May.

With no room for error or netting, just a simple draw will not alleviate the problems for these squads, if they are to see another campaign in the ranks of Premiership and despite the troubles, the Albion Boys have encounter in the end. 

There is a possibility of seeing a revival for some of the squads situated in the bottom three but with the difficult but no impossible task of winning all of their matches and wait for results from their foes, but this race for salvation will become a serious contest in the end.
 
Still many questions arise in several managers can keep or get an ace under their sleeves and worked their magic to sustain a last minute miracle. For Mark Hughes Saints will they salvage their troubled campaign? is Alan Pardew left with any trick in his book for his Albion safety? Or Can Paul Lambert make a run for the better and be out of the danger zone?

As many interrogatives surround these men and how will they and their elevens can overcome many oddities their squads are, being surrounded in the end with just a simple solution of displaying their best football will be their salvation.
