At the other end of the standings, the north-east giants of Newcastle vie with local foes Sunderland in an attempt to stay in the Premier League. The Magpies welcome Tottenham Hotspur—whose form has evaporated—while the Black Cats face matches against Everton and Watford in the last days of the season.

Potential Redemption for Red Devils
United's interest in Premier League matters looked over just a few weeks ago as Arsenal and Manchester City settled into the top four like a warm bath—relaxed in the knowledge they would once again be amongst Europe's elite in the Champions League.
However, for the latter, it has gone horribly wrong as coach Manuel Pellegrini's tenure comes screeching to a halt as the Sky Blues await the arrival of Pep Guardiola to the Etihad Stadium.
The Red Devils know two wins in their final two games will see them take fourth, kicking City to an unacceptable and unlikely fifth-place finish.
Manager Louis van Gaal takes his team to Upton Park on Tuesday in the final game at the Boleyn Ground before the Hammers relocate to the Olympic Stadium, and United will hope to pierce the carnival atmosphere in east London.
West Ham have had a stellar season under the guidance of Slaven Bilic who has turned the Cockney team into viable contenders and a dangerous opponent once again.
However, the home side slipped in their penultimate game at Upton Park against Swansea City in the league, suffering a shock 4-1 defeat against a mid-table outfit with nothing to play for.
United have not looked a top-four side since before the Christmas period, and with an FA Cup final to come, City's demise has complicated matters for Van Gaal.
The Dutchman's side are still stuttering as they look to finish the season on a high, but they have found a winning touch, defeating Norwich City in their previous away game.
Bilic explained the traditions of his team to BT Sport ahead of the final game at the Boleyn, and the Hammers will be a formidable hurdle for the Red Devils with the crowd behind them:
Magpies and Black Cats Scrap to Avoid Relegation
As Middlesbrough guaranteed the hotbed of the north-east has a participant in the Premier League next term, Newcastle and Sunderland bid to join them after disappointing seasons.
Rafael Benitez's arrival at St. James' Park has given his team a shot in the arm, but Sunderland are producing performances well above their station.
The Black Cats defeated Chelsea to pull a point clear of the relegation zone and the Geordie side, leaving them with a vital game in hand.
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer believes Sam Allardyce's men have the clear advantage:
Benitez knows destiny isn't in his hands, but a final match of the campaign against a beleaguered Spurs side offers slight hope.
However, Sunderland battle two teams out of form and fortune at present—Everton and Watford—and will be expected to retain their Premier League survival for another season.
The Magpies have appeared motivated under their new coach, but the games have run out too fast for the former Liverpool and Real Madrid boss. When the chips were down, Sunderland produced, and they are likely to join Boro next year in the top division, as the Geordies mourn a drop into the Championship.
