Cup finalists are chasing a UEFA cup place, so look out for a possible red herring in the battle for safety as far as Gareth Southgate's men are concerned.Fulham, Bolton, Reading, Birmingham, Wigan, Middlesbrough, could all still be relegated and the end to the season is sure to be tense for all the teams involved. A result on Saturday is paramount for Bolton at home to Sunderland. Otherwise, they would have to pin any hope of survival on a trip to Chelsea on the last day. Birmingham face Fulham in what is surely the biggest game of the day survival-wise and we should know the fate of Fulham after that game They are the most adrift of the other clubs.
A win for Birmingham would really boost their hopes of staying up after there 2-2 draw with an under strength Liverpool at the weekend.One thing is for certain though, we will witness a frantic last day once again, as the pendulum of survival swings back and forth Once again nothing is decided yet. .
