The Battle to Beat the Drop
With the title and the Champions League qualifiers already settled, the key issue to tie up in the Premier League is the question of relegation.
With one game to play, Hull are very much in harm’s way.
The Tigers currently sit in 18th place, on 34 points, and while they could still drag Newcastle United down into the bottom three, few give Steve Bruce’s side much chance of beating Manchester United at home.
However, if Hull can defeat Louis van Gaal’s side at the KC Stadium, then the Magpies will need to beat West Ham United at home to survive—a draw would not be enough.
Will John Carver’s ‘troops’ be able to see off the unmotivated Hammers, or will things go from bad to worse at St James’ Park?
