RELEGATION BATTLE:Permutations for tomorrow's crucial relegation-related games

Wolves (40 pts) v Blackburn Rovers (40pts)

Victory for either side at Molineux would guarantee survival, while defeat would leave the losers sweating on results elsewhere. With in-form Wolves playing at home and targeting a third successive league win, they are in the driving seat. Blackburn head down the M6 after back-to-back draws.

Tottenham v Birmingham City (39pts)

Birmingham must equal or better the results of both Blackpool and Wigan as they head to White Hart Lane outside the bottom three on goal difference alone. They have secured just one point from their last five games and have a mounting injury list after their dire performance against Fulham at the weekend, while facing a Tottenham side aiming to protect their European place from the challenge of Liverpool.

Manchester Utd v Blackpool (39pts)

No visiting team has won at Old Trafford this season, leaving Blackpool with an ominous challenge to retain their top-flight status. However, United’s involvement in the Champions League final could work in Ian Holloway’s favour. All eyes will be on United’s teamsheet.

Stoke City v Wigan Athletic (39pts)

Wigan threw themselves a lifeline with their remarkable injury-time victory over West Ham, but their goal difference is the worst of the five clubs in the mix. Stoke have enjoyed an outstanding season but may struggle to raise themselves after their FA Cup final defeat, which was followed by another loss to Manchester City.
