PREMIER LEAGUE SURVIVAL
Arsenal v Everton
Brentford v Leeds United
Burnley v Newcastle United
Watford and Norwich have already been relegated to the Championship, but the identity of the third team to go down is yet to be decided. Leeds, Everton and Burnley all still have a chance of dropping out of the Premier League, with just two points separating the three sides. However, the latter two both have midweek matches to play ahead of Sunday’s season finale.
Burnley travel to Aston Villa on Thursday night, knowing that a win or a draw would lift them out of the bottom three. The Clarets trail Leeds by just one point but have a far superior goal difference.
Frank Lampard’s Everton host Crystal Palace on Thursday night and can guarantee their Premier League safety with a win. Gaining three points against Patrick Viera’s side would extend the Blues’ gap over Leeds to four points, with just one match to play.
So it remains to be seen whether there will be a two-way or three-way fight to avoid the trapdoor on Sunday. If Everton are still embroiled in it, their trip to Champions League chasers Arsenal looks tough; meanwhile, Burnley host buoyant Newcastle and Leeds travel to the similarly in-form Brentford.
