Every Premier League team not yet mathematically safe from relegation
Nottingham Forest's confirmed survival mean three teams are fighting to avoid two relegation spots on the final day of the 2022/23 Premier League season.
It was always going to come down to the last, and a huge day beckons for Everton, Leicester and Leeds as they attempt to preserve their Premier League statuses.
Here's an overview of the situation at the bottom ahead of the final day.
Everton
Current position: 17th
Games played: 37
Points: 33
Chance of getting relegated: 23%

Everton are in a pretty strong position heading into judgement day. Yerry Mina rescued a point for the Toffees at Wolves on Saturday, and victory at home to Bournemouth this weekend will guarantee their survival.
However, should they fail to beat the Cherries, who have lost their last three, at Goodison Park, they'll then need other results to go their way. Everton's current advantage over their fellow relegation candidates is two points.

Leicester
Current position: 18th
Games played: 37
Points: 31
Chance of getting relegated: 82%
Leicester's winless run continued at St. James' Park on Monday night, but at least the stalemate was something. The Foxes were battered for the most part, but after riding their luck, Timothy Castagne came close at the death to stealing what would've been a vital three points.
A draw aids their survival chances somewhat, but they must beat West Ham at the King Power on Sunday and hope Everton fail to beat Bournemouth. Leicester's superior goal difference could come in handy when it's all said and done.

Leeds
Current position: 19th
Games played: 37
Points: 31
Chance of getting relegated: 95%
Leeds' remaining fixture
Date / Kick-Off Time | Fixture |
---|---|
28/05/23 / 16:30 | Leeds vs Tottenham |
Leeds' trip to the London Stadium began with so much promise. An AWOL fiver and Rodrigo's delightful volley sparked Big Same into life, but their second-half showing on Sunday was one of a side that's resigned themselves to the second tier.
Their chances of survival are now slim, but a glimmer of hope remains. However, they'll need to win and hope Leicester fail to do so against West Ham. Also, Bournemouth must take points off Everton to give Leeds a chance.
Should the contest at Goodison Park end as a draw, Leeds need to beat Tottenham by three or more goals at Elland Road. Victory for Leeds on Sunday combined with an Everton defeat and a Leicester draw or defeat will see Allardcye's side survive against all odds/
