Leicester City, and Swansea are up against AFC Bournemout­h, who have lost just two of their last nine home matches - to Tottenham Hotspur and to Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United.

The Saints have taken just one point in their last four away matches and face clashes with the Toffees and the Swans away from St Mary’s in their final three fixtures, with Premier League champions Manchester City visiting the south coast on the final day of the season.

Stoke must also travel to the Liberty Stadium in their last two games and both the Potters and the Saints will come up against a side which - although under threat of relegation - have lost just two matches at home in their last eight fixtures - once again to Spurs and Manchester United.

In addition to Town’s competitio­n having a trickier run-in than first assumed, the form table hints that the Terriers’ final game of the season may not be as tough as first thought.

Although Arsenal will travel to the John Smith’s Stadium wanting to gift Arsene Wenger with a final Premier League win before he departs after 22 years, the Gunners struggle away from the Emirates Stadium.

Wenger’s side have not won on the road in the league this calendar year and only Watford have had a worse points haul in their last eight matches away from home.

On top of that, the Gunners may be more concerned about the Europa League final three days after the Town match - should they get past Atletico Madrid tonight.

Although at first glance it may look like Town are in a perilous position and are staring at the drop into the Championsh­ip, the form is still on their side.

Let’s just hope the form table translates into reality over the final week of the Premier League season.
