Relegation battle down to the wire

EVERTON

Position 17th Played 37 Points 33 Sunday: Bournemouth (H)

Everton have their destiny in their own hands. If they beat Bournemouth, they will stay up.

The Toffees were 19th when Sean Dyche was hired in January. They will fancy their chances at home against a side who have nothing to play for.

Everton, however, may have to cope without Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is struggling with a hamstring injury.

LEICESTER

Position 18th Played 37 Points 31 Sunday: West Ham (H)

Seven years ago, Leicester were crowned champions and now they are fighting for Premier League survival. Foxes boss Dean Smith has promised his side will go out with “all guns blazing” against West Ham, who could have one eye on their Europa Conference League Final next month. Leicester must win and hope Everton draw or lose.

LEEDS

Position 19th Played 37 Points 31 Sunday: Tottenham (H)

Leeds have to win to stand any chance of avoiding relegation. Sam Allardyce’s side, however, are reliant on Leicester failing to win and Everton losing.

If the Toffees draw, Leeds would need to beat Tottenham by three clear goals. Allardyce has claimed one point from his three games in charge and will look to draw on the Elland Road crowd to pull off a final-day miracle.
