In every English Premier League (EPL) season, one of the best parts is the relegation battle. The goal is to not end up in the last three spots out of the twenty teams at the end of the season. With the season ending on Sunday, the desperation for teams at the bottom increase to a crescendo. Here is a look at the schedule.
Manchester City at Watford – 1 PM EST (NBC Sports).
Arsenal at Aston Villa – 3:15 PM EST (NBC Sports).
17th place Watford is at home against Manchester City. Watford is only three points ahead of Aston Villa. Watford is definitely feeling the pressure because they fired their head coach with only two matches left in the season. Adding to the pressure is that Manchester City will not be sleepwalking through this game because they just lost to Arsenal in the FA Cup semifinals on Saturday.
Aston Villa needs a win and a Watford loss to put them in a tie heading into the last match of the season on Sunday. In their favor, Aston Villa is playing an Arsenal team that may rest players after advancing to the English FA Cup final on Saturday.
