Relegation Royale – The Final Battle!

The last dance of the drowning clubs will be on show this weekend, with some hoping to continue their waltz in the top flight.

Hull City have a dodgy fixture as they host a club that has already won the Premier League, and is looking at adding another trophy to their long list of laurels. Sir Alex may choose to field a second string line-up in order to give some of his important players a rest before the final of the Champions League. This could prompt the Tigers to produce a confident performance, which may see them survive in the relegation battle.

There will be a heated game at Villa Park, where Newcastle will walk onto the pitch knowing that they will be playing one of the biggest games in the history of their club. Anything less than a win will see them playing in the Football League next season. However, even a win may not steady the Toon, since their fate depends on the results of Hull City, and Sunderland. Either one of the aforementioned teams would have to drop points if the roar has to reach Tyneside.

Elsewhere, Middlesbrough are mathematically out of contention, but a queer turn of events could see them avoiding the axe. But it appears highly unlikely that the tide will turn in their favour. Irrespective of their bleak chances, the team will want to put out a strong performance as they go out with their heads held high, or survive in style.
