Premier League | Relegation Battle | Hull City Look Destined For Relegation

It was another disappointing result for Steve Bruce’s Hull City at the weekend, as they lost their 3^rd successive league game, and their 6^th in 8 games, as they went down 2-0 to Spurs, with goals from Chadli and Rose. 

I had tipped The Tigers for relegation a while back, with their run of very tough fixtures to end the season, and it now looks like reality, as Hull need a win against United on the last day, to have any chance of Survival.

The other team I had mentioned as dangers for relegation, were Newcastle, who lost their 9^th game from the last 10 at the weekend, despite leading 1-0 at Half-Time against relegated QPR, who eventually won 2-1, thanks to goals from Phillips and Fer. The Magpies now sit just above Hull, 2 points ahead, but can still survive, whatever their result against West Ham, should Hull City fail to win.

Sunderland are the remaining team in danger, sitting in 16^th, 1 point ahead of Newcastle, but with that game in-hand, against Arsenal, on Wednesday night, and then ending the season away to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

It’ll be tough for Newcastle and Sunderland to pick up any points now with the remaining game(s), but I don’t believe Hull will beat United, and its Steve Bruce’s team that will go down in my opinion, as previously feared.

The main talking point of the weekend though, has to be that of Southampton’s Sadio Mane, who managed to grab the quickest hat-trick you’ll possibly, ever see, in just 2 minutes 56 seconds, against Aston Villa. Villa were shocking to be fair, but you still have to be in the right place, and finish, and that’s what he did. That’s now 10 goals and 3 assists in 29 Premier League appearances (6 as sub) for the Senegalese international, who arrived from Austrian club, RB Salzburg in September.
