33 would indeed be the second lowest though, although that's pretty unlikely to be enough.
Given how poorly they have all been, its quite possible for Everton, Leeds and Leicester to all loose their last game, and if that happens, Everton would indeed stay up with 33 pts.

I can't call it......Leeds have a good chance against a woeful Spuds, and Leicester have a good chance against the Hammers, who will have an eye on their Euro final in terms of team selection......and Everton have a chance against Bournemouth who have also been struggling of late.

Everton are in the box seat and have the scores on the doors though and just know, if they win, they stay up regardless of what happens in the other matches.

Yes I can totally see Leicester getting a result against WH who will rest pretty much their entire team ready for the final.
Leeds at home will be going for it, kitchen sink and all, Big Sam wont have it any other way.

It will be a frantic last day for sure.

Does the Premier League have any rules about teams fielding weakened sides at the end of the season? If the Hammers rest a lot of players prior to the final, it hardly seems fair to others fighting with Leicester to avoid relegation.

I've always felt Everton would beat Bournemouth on the final day so I'm sticking with that and saying they'll survive; however, I also fancy Leicester to beat West Ham and if that happens Everton obviously can't afford any slip-ups.

Really don't see us (Leeds) being in the mix by beating Spurs though; we've been poor for most of the season - and woeful for the last couple of months - so sadly I can't see anything other than us being back in the Championship come tomorrow evening....

Such is life I'm afraid. Even if they start their best X1 you're unlikely to see 100% commitment from players in a match that is meaningless to them when they have one eye on a possible trophy.

If you're a team relying on another playing well in order to stay up then it's your own fault for getting into that situation in the first place Fairness isn't a factor.

Everton struggling. They should have been 1-0 down there.

Leicester had a great first half. I still reckon Everton will come to life and survive though.

Well, Everton scraped by into safety again.
