There are now just two games left for those clubs battling for survival to beat the drop from the Premier League. There is still much to play for so we will have a look at the the possible relegation scenarios ahead of the scrap to avoid the drop.

West Ham

It has been a woeful season at Upton Park and a tense end to the campaign has been made worse by comments from the co-owners but it is back to matters on the pitch on Sunday with a must-win clash with Wigan (West Ham 1/10 to be relegated).

The Hammers are currently bottom of the standings, with 33 points and they could be relegated this weekend if they fail to win and other results go against them.

Although Avram Grant’s men could mathematically catch both Blackburn and Birmingham, they would have to win their remaining two games and hope that the aforementioned pair fail to pick up a single point – unlikely.

And so Wolves are their realistic target if they are to stay in the top division, with a home encounter against Sunderland set to finish the season in east London.

It is not over yet for West Ham but, although two wins from their final two games is not out of the question, it has to be remembered that they have won just seven times all season.

Wigan

Latics are just above West Ham with 36 points and are in with a much better chance of beating the drop, as they travel to Stoke on the final day following the Hammers clash.

Roberto Martinez’s side have drawn too many games at home and won just four times at the DW Stadium and failed to build on the recent victory over fellow strugglers Blackpool.

But they secured an excellent point at Aston Villa on Saturday and will be full of confidence going into the West Ham game knowing that three points could be all they need to stay up.

A point on Sunday will ensure that a tense season goes right to the final game but defeat could spell the end of their stay in the top flight.

Their final game is a trip to the Britannia Stadium to face the Potters, who may have one eye on their holidays by then as they sit comfortably in mid table.

Blackpool

It seemed inconceivable that Blackpool would be embroiled in a survival battle after the first half of the season but the pre-season prophets of doom appear to have been correct as Ian Holloway’s men look in real trouble of making just a brief stay in the Premier League.

They are level on points with Wigan and have a winnable game against Bolton on the horizon.

However, they have reserved their hardest test right until the end of the season as they conclude proceedings with a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.

It is true that the Red Devils will probably have won the title by the time the Tangerines come calling but professional pride means that Sir Alex Ferguson will likely play a decent side, even with the Champions League final on his mind.

Saturday’s derby with Bolton is, therefore, a must-win match-up but it does not look promising for the Premier League entertainers.

Wolves

Four points from their last two games has seen the Midlanders move out of the relegation zone and they sit on 37 points – just one more than Blackpool and Wigan.

But that could be significant, with nobody seemingly capable of winning a game at the foot of the table.

Mick McCarthy has always maintained that his charges would beat the drop and he may be proved right as they travel to the Stadium of Light at the weekend before welcoming Blackburn to Molineux for the final match of the campaign.

Sunderland are safe but have been in free-fall for a while and Steve Bruce’s side is currently decimated with injuries and so Wolves have a real chance of putting daylight between themselves and the bottom three.

They face Blackburn at home on the last day of the season and will be confident of getting the result that they need against a Rovers side who will probably still be looking over their shoulders (Wolves  1/2 to stay up).

Blackburn

Although Steve Kean’s men have 39 points and appear clear of the drop zone, they welcome Manchester United to Ewood Park this weekend and will probably still have 39 points on the final day.

It may be enough and, with a superior goal difference to both Blackpool and Wigan, they are in pole position to keep their top-flight spot.

But it has been a funny old season and they might well have to get something from their final clash with Wolves to make sure of avoiding the drop into the Championship.

Birmingham City

Blues have never quite been able to secure safety and the weekend defeat to Newcastle kept their fans sweating for another week.

Level on points with Blackburn, a win against Fulham would surely be enough to stave off the threat of relegation and they are more than capable of doing it, especially after the Cottagers 5-2 thrashing by Liverpool on Monday night.

If they do need a point on May 22, then what better than a trip to White Hart Lane to play a Spurs side that seem incapable of achieving any other result than a draw at present, and Alex McLeish’s men are looking good to stay in England’s top division for another season.
