    West Brom will be relegated if they fail to beat Newcastle. Even if they win, they’re down if Swansea beat Chelsea.

    I'm disappointed in Everton's fans. They're a special club and the fans are normally right behind the manager, but they haven't been with Sam Allardyce and that's been really disappointing. Allardyce saved them and if the chief executives have got any bottle at all, they'll give him another season.

    Burnley and Brighton both stand on the cusp of superb achievements.

    The Clarets could secure a Europa League place this weekend, depending on results elsewhere, while promoted Brighton are inching towards Premier League survival.

    The two clubs are beacons to struggling sides down the divisions. Burnley were very nearly relegated from the Football League in 1987, as were Brighton a decade later, and both were also close to going out of business.

    It may be nervy times for these clubs and their supporters at present but, regardless of where they finish the season, they can be proud of the progress that has been made in recent years.

    Everton boss Sam Allardyce tells BBC Sport why he switched Nikola Vlasic in for Yannick Bolasie: "We need to see what Vlasic is capable of. He's had brief opportunities. There is no absolute pressure on us and young players like this I need to see if he can handle the pressure. It's a big opportunity for him.

    "There is a lot riding on the position in the league for money and budgets but we think Vlasic deserves his chance.

    "The one thing about the opposition is their size They are probably one of the biggest in the Premier League. We have said not to give many free-kicks and corners away."

    On discussions with the board for next season: "The planning has been ongoing. The pre-season is in place. Then it will be who goes out and comes in, which probably wont happen until after the World Cup. We just need to get a job done for me today."

    Sam Allardyce was brought in to do a job, and he did that job very quickly. He got Everton up to mid-table quickly and he stabilised the club. He did what was asked of him, and then the fans suddenly asked him to change his style of play.

    David Wagner has done an incredible job, because the first season is always touch-and-go whether you stay up, the first one when you come up is always the hardest.

    I think as the whole Everton would have liked to have spent the money more productively over the summer, but that's not Sam Allardyce's fault, I think he's done pretty well since he came in. His primary target was to avoid relegation, and he's done that, so I think he deserves respect.

    Victory for Huddersfield Town over Everton today will push The Terriers to the brink of Premier League safety - which would represent a remarkable achievement for manager David Wagner and his players.

    Everton, meanwhile, are still surrounded by uncertainty over the future of manager Sam Alllardyce. He was on the front foot talking about plans for next season yesterday but there has been no clarification of his position from owner Farhad Moshiri after the pair met in London on Thursday.

    Huddersfield boss David Wagner speaks to BBC Sport: "We were able to use the two weeks off for what we wanted and I think we are prepared.

    "After the last two results and performances, it was not a difficult task to keep the intensity.

    "We were happy that everyone other than Tom Ince was healthy. Because of what we have seen in the last weeks in training we have decided the starting XI. Hopefully we have made the right decisions.

    "Usually we are able to enjoy every single Premier League match. The difference is that it feels a little bit like the game where at the end you can have something in your hand - Premier League survival. It would be massive for our football club. The fact we can play this game at this stage at home, there's nothing better."

    I think Darren Moore deserves a chance at West Brom. He knows what the club is all about, he's played at that level and he knows the club inside out. But the main thing is, he's got the lads playing for him.

    Burnley are staring at the possibility of European football next season, and could clinch a Europa League spot today if they beat Brighton and see other results go their way.

    But more importantly, has boss Sean Dyche just busted the myth behind his gravelly tones? Time to take his head out of the sand...

    "You look at this season for different reasons, what the players have achieved," said Dyche.

    "There's been so many good things. You enjoy the work and the constant striving to be successful for you, your staff and players.

    "You still have to pull your head out of the sand once in a while and acknowledge what you've done, a lot has been delivered."

    Brighton are so close to survival they can almost taste it - the fresh, free-flowing football of the 2018-19 Premier League season, we can hope...

    Realistically, the 13th-placed Seagulls are home and hosed, but Hughton won't be happy until it's mathematically certain.

    "It certainly feels good to have the points in the bag and we would certainly rather be in the position we have than having to chase those points, but we know we have work to do still," he said.

    "Everybody is aware of the challenge we have, with the magnitude of the games we have.

    "But we will go into every game trying to get points and believing we can get points and until we are in a position where we are over the line, then of course you can't rest easy."

    No such relegation worries for Claude Puel's Leicester, just a concerning run of conceding first in six of their last eight games.

    "I think it is our problem at this moment," explained the Frenchman. "It was better in the last game. The beginning of the game was at a good tempo but not enough chances.

    "It is important to continue and correct this situation. A good start is important because it can give us a good way in the game."

  17. Three more points for Palace?published at 14:40 British Summer Time 28 April 2018

    It seems a long time ago that Roy Hodgson took over a Crystal Palace side who were bottom of the league after four games having failed to score a single goal.

    Fast forward to April and with three games of the season remaining the Eagles five points and four places above the drop zone.

    "Thirty-eight points would seem to me to be quite a good total this year, with so many teams not close to that," said Hodgson.

    "It's going to take more than three points to make sure we are mathematically safe.

    "As far as we're concerned it's a question of trying to make certain - win each of the three matches available and take no chances."

    It's been a massive step for Eddie Howe keeping Bournemouth up for four years now. I don't think he's quite ready for a job like Arsenal, but maybe Everton, he fits the kind of style of play the fans want, if he can add some substance to his style, he could be perfect for them.

    The relegation battle has drawn in everyone up to 11th spot, with even Bournemouth still wary of their top-flight future.

    "This game is huge on many levels, the fact of who we're playing and what it means to the football club but, more than that, for our season," said Cherries boss Eddie Howe.

    "(I'm) desperate for us to consolidate ourselves as a Premier League club. We've still got to get over the line.

    "We haven't beaten them at their stadium and I think that's another motivation for us, it's another thing we would love to do."

    It's a game that's Huddersfield's best chance of adding to their points total before the end of the season, because they've got Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal after this - so they will really be up for this one.
