Survival Sunday has arrived.
We will find out today which team will lift the English Premier League trophy, which EPL teams will play in the UEFA Champions League next year, as well as which teams won't be in the Premier League next season as ten league matches kick off to determine the winners and losers.
Manchester City has their fate in their hands. A win against Queens Park Rangers would give City the championship, while a draw or loss could open the door for Manchester United to win a record 20th league title.
Bolton will be rooting for City to win because a QPR loss and Bolton win today would help the Trotters secure a place in the Premier League for next season.
Arsenal is holding onto third place in the Premier League, but anything short of a win today could open the door for Tottenham or Newcastle to leapfrog the Gunners into third place.
The English Premier League isn't the only game in town today. In Italy, Lazio and Inter Milan square off with a place in the UEFA Champions League on the line. A Lazio win puts the Roman club into the Champions League next season while Inter can jump into fourth place with a win and Napoli tie or loss.
In Mexico, Santos Laguna will look to book their place in the Mexican Clausura Playoff Final with a win today against Club America. Herculez Gomez and the Guerreros can secure a rematch of the CONCACAF Champions League final against Monterrey with a victory today.

Way to go, Manchester City. Today, you destroyed not only your own season, but Bolton’s as well. Here’s to another 60-some years as being unknown Jerome in Manchester
QPR worst road record (and a man down), Man City best home record. Incredible.
He could help Conde if he’s ever harassed by police at a bar.
Not sure…I’m not sure Crouch was touched
was the stoke pk legit?
bolton ffs.
Balotelli will find a way to even the number of players on each side by final time
That’s it for Bolton
There is some consolation in the fact that Arsenal and Spurs will get the results they needed, so what Newcastle do will be irrelevant.
No way QPR keeps City out right now. This is nuts.
Newcastle don’t deserve to win today, but it’s still been a season far beyond anyone’s expectations. Doesn’t make this game against Everton any easier to watch.
Btw if, IF this result holds for QPR can’t y’all see media-happy Barton taking all the credit for the win with his antics? “my red spurred my team on to the win” or “I knew I had to do something to fire my team up. And it worked” etc
Announcer has been singing Ream’s praises all game…much more than 90% of US Nats fans do, by the way. “There’s that man again”…”Tim Ream again…this kid’s a good prospect to me.”
Didn’t everyone have, in the back of their minds, the sense that City would find a way to screw up a sure thing?
much tougher for city now. (to state the obvious)
ream is killing it right now
And that’s the game. Epic choke.
Congratulations Manchester United.
Omg this game is the BEST
EEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFFFF
Holy crap!
Bring him to MLS! I hear Red Bulls are looking for another (Headcase) DP…..
Only Balotelli can save City now!
Joey Barton is a moronic thug.
how can any PL manager trust him now? I think teams will look at this and say this guy’s too much of a head case and not worth the risk
This game is awesome. Awesome.
Barton is an A-hole. I so hope QPR goes down.
That will be the end of Joey Barton’s career in the EPL. That needs to be a lifetime ban.
Throws an elbow into Tevez’ face off the ball, gets red carded. And then after screaming at the official walks up behind Aguero and just knees him in the back and then tries to start a brawl with other City players.
Disgraceful piece of garbage.
Lescott with the defensive mistake of the season. Wow he will be the most hated man in half of Manchester and the rest of England if that is the end of things.
Wow, just wow what a terrible error.
Crazy goals in the Stoke/Bolton game.
Just saw Stoke’s goal. How in the hell did that count?!?! You can just headbutt the keeper?!
!!!
COME ON YOU WHITES!! Please hold on for 45 more minutes Bolton!!!
Bolton!
x2 baby!!
So incredible.
Yaya Toure sprains his hamstring, can barely move, but tells Mancini he’ll fight through it. Hobbles around the pitch doing nothing for 10 minutes, pushes through and gets in a dangerous position to toe poke a gorgeous ball through to Zabeleta who blasts one home for his first goal of the season and the potential season winner.
Yaya Toure is so bad*ss. He can barely walk and he’s refusing to come off.
BOLTON!!!!!!!!
I have no idea how SWP escaped at least a yellow card for that. It was awesome, but so illegal.
In case you didn’t see it, a ball was coming to Yaya Toure at the top of the box and SWP jumped and laid out completely horizontal to punch the ball away lol.
WTF. WBA up 2-1. Sick floated ball, and the WBA striker beats both centerbacks to set up a clinical finish.
As a neutral, last week’s Arsenal match and this week’s are incredibly entertaining.
About as bad as Ream & Co. could start giving up a goal in the first 15… going to have to really chase after it now.
WTF!! Bolton robbed!
WBA counter shreds the Arsenal D, and we’re tied 1-1. Offsides… very likely, though can’t tell for sure with the replays I’ve seen.
+2 firstrow not working.
Horror blunder by the West Brom keeper who comes out to collect the ball and can’t grab it as Benayoun out runs the WBA backline and beats the keeper to pounce. That was perhaps the EPL goalie mishap of the season.
+1. eager to see a stream link and/or updates on Bolton match.
Since Dempsey is not playing, I don’t fee so bad that I’m visiting my son’s family this weekend and they don’t have any soccer channels.
In any case Come om Fulham!!
Goal spurs! 2′ minute!
Since Deuce is not in the Fulham lineup and I don’t have Fox Soccer +, will be flipping stations to checkout today’s action. Hoping SBI Nation can post updates on the Bolton match.
Cheers
Come on Bolton!
Come on you Spurs!
COYW!!
