A new race to follow in Premiership, relegation


Forget who will win the league in this edition of Premiership, with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City already in the driver’s seat, now we are set to follow another race. The relegation or salvation of who will go down or stay put in the big circuit of Premiership. 

So far, we have a sure candidate that is prone for doom and this is the lads of West Brom Albion struggling ever since the start of the campaign and with two men taking over its helm and not being able of preventing its fall. 

With just 20 points and six matches left in the campaign, and to add to its woes the likes of Alan Pardew calling it quits, I believe this move by the club was a little too late for someone that just won one match and lost twelve. Situated in the bottom of the table not even a miraculous comeback can save the Baggies of their next campaign destinies in the ranks of Championship. 

Atop Albion is another squad that saw its luck down in the campaign until their move in the helm of letting go of Mark Hughes after a failed stint in Britannia and substituted by Paul lambert that little this man has done to leveled or revive the Potters. Still the Staffordshire side can see a glimpse of hope with its 27 points and six matches left to see a sort of revival to assure its permanency in EPL. 

In eighteenth place, we have one of my favorite clubs that once use to display one of the best academies in the English Premier League in its amazing and promising initials eleven. After this squad, sell the majority of its stellar players to several of the so-called league giants, leaving them with just scraps. 

For a squad of the likes of the Saints, by being a small entity to lure big name players and depending on young players purchased to be developed but with no blueprint anymore for their formation. The arrival of Mark Hughes to St. Mary’s little hope awakens after his dismissal from Stoke City. 

Still situated in a positon with a little room for improvement and 28 points trailing Crystal Palace with thirty points and Huddersfield with thirty-one, the outlook of salvation can be within reach but with positive results versus this weekend losing to the West Ham bunch.

As they state is not over until is over, with seven matches left in the whole campaign to see an end to this edition of the English Premier League coming to its conclusion, there is an opportunity for the Potters or Saints of making a sort of comeback. 

However, the race for relegation not only involves three squads but also goes to eight as the Magpies, Gulls and Hammers nearing the amount of points for their salvation, but with the risk of still becoming prime targets for the abyss. 

Red-hot- you bet as this campaign will see in the end who will be the candidates at the end to go down to the ranks of Championship, as the heat is on for some squads to deliver positive results in the end. 

At the end with West Brom Albion going down thanks to the indifference of its directives, the question raised is what other squads will be following the unfortunate destinies of Albion.
