The other ‘fight’ in the Premier League: seven teams settle three relegations in three dates, with several Argentinians for safety

THE Premier League It is considered by many to be the best football league in the world. Count on the call Big Six (Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham) already gives them parity and an above average level of demand. But beyond these powerful teams, far from that definition that Guardiola and Arteta have beaten, there is another equally exciting battle. The famous struggle for permanence.

It is already clear, Manchester City or Arsenal, one of them, will be the champion of the Premier League 22/23. Instead there are seven! the teams trying to save themselves from a fate that will be up to three of them, the descent.

Before the 36 of 38 date begins to be disputed, a review of the table of locations shows that mathematically they are bournemouth, West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Everton, Leicester City, leeds united AND southamptonin this order.

He bournemouth He is in 14th place with 39 points. The set of Marco Siena they fell in their last match 3-1 to Chelsea which prevented them from adding a third consecutive win and saving themselves. Now, the England team will face Crystal Palace (guest), Manchester United (local) and Everton (guest), who are also fighting against relegation.

He West Ham, with 37 units, appears in 15th position. On the final day they returned to winning ways after three games, after defeating Manchester United 1-0. The remaining matches for the team Manuel Lanzini They are: Brentford (visitor), Leeds (local) and Leicester City (visitor), with direct rivals fighting not to drop down to the Championship.

For his part, him Nottingham Forest They are in 16th place with 33 points, and come off of achieving a key victory by beating Southampton 4-3. To continue adding points, the Nottingham team will have to play against: Chelsea (visitor), Arsenal (local) and Crystal Palace (visitor).

He Everton He has 32 points and is in 17th place. The Liverpool team beat Brighton 5-1 in their last appearance, however, it is still very complicated and has a complex appointment: it receives Manchester City, visits Wolves (guests) and closes at home against Bournemouth.

To the Leicester City, unforgettable champion in 2016, now has to suffer: he has 30 points and is in 18th position, adding three rounds without a win. On the final day, they were defeated 5-3 by Fulham. To date they are one of three teams relegated to the second tier and remain to face Liverpool (local), Newcastle (visitor) and West Ham (local).

With less brilliance than in his years directed by Marcello BielsaHe leeds united They appear in 19th place, with 30 points and in their last appearance they were beaten 4-1 by direct rivals Bournemouth. He hasn’t won in five games and is in decline, putting his stay in the Premier at risk, a historic goal achieved at the hands of the Argentine coach. It remains to play against Newcastle (local), West Ham (guest) and Tottenham (local), all complicated.

Finally the southampton with 24 points and in 20th position, waiting for a miracle. The team of Willy Caballero AND Carlos Alcaraz, has almost zero chance of being saved. Of the last five games, he has lost four and now face Fulham (local), Brighton (away) and Liverpool (local). To get out of the red zone, they have to overcome the 32 points Everton have today, which seems impossible.

This mini-tournament for “salvation” begins this weekend, as exciting and contested as the one between Manchester City and Arsenal in the top positions.
