^ they have Watford, Everton and Arsenal at home after those games. Everton have a dreadful away form, Arsenal last game of the season will have lost all interest, Watford are very hit and miss.
To me the run ins at this stage took really similar
All have to play 3 games or so against the top 5, which will be a struggle, but also a number of games against teams around them. The only difference is timing, teams may get lucky if their opponents are saving themselves for a big European or FA Cup match. Or be playing an already relegated club, which can go both ways
Because it looks like 38 points is going to be needed to stay up, and with them on 30 at the moment i think their next few matches are the most important, plus if they don't get a decent amount of points their confidence could be shot. Hopefully table finishes as it is or even better West Ham replacing Stoke.

Palace have 27-points or are you referring to West Ham?

It's all about who can get wins. I can see the battles between the relegation rivals being really exciting, as at this stage draws aren't enough to get to 38 points, especially for those on 27/28 points
West Brom will get a new manager and turn their season around just in time
Stoke will pick up the points
West Ham will drop like a stone
Palace should pick up the points but when you look at how last night went you can’t rule out that the writing is probably on the wall for them and they are doomed
Even though they are in the mix, Southampton could be the ‘surprise’ team that drops
I'm not confident about Stoke either, as they've had a series of matches against beatable teams (Newcastle, Leicester, Brighton, Bournmouth, Soton) and picked up just 3 draws. That's relegation form
Palace will survive sadly. Baggies are gone. Palace have an easy run in, Zaha will come back at some point and they are actually playing with some sort of purpose. Add in they are incredibly jammy most of the time (like their first goal last night) and refs think teams dive against them and miss theirs, and I can't see them going down. If I was a Saints fan I'd be consoling myself with a potential visit to play-off winners Pompey next season. Stoke, West Ham, Newcastle or Huddersfield will be the third place.
Would be nice to Crystal Phallus go down, but even if they don't this season, they are a club losing steam every year. Who would actually want to join them with a 108-year old manager this summer?
Live table on BBC currently shows them as 1 point behind Saints and 4 behind West Ham, Swansea and Huddersfield. I'd like to see a Huddersfield win today.

I dont think we'll get promoted but if those three do come down it'll make the Championship a lot more difficult than if others go down
so all that money for a prem league and a league trophy is it enough?
