The last day of the Premier League season 2008/2009 concludes on Sunday 24th May this weekend. This year, I don't there could be many people that would think that Manchester United weren't the deserved champions, who were crowned Barclays Premier League winners last weekend at Old Trafford after drawing 0-0 with Arsenal. Liverpool's game against West Brom last week and the match against Spurs this week will have been difficult for them to prepare for, although the have a chance to make history down to the fact that the Reds have had a trully superb season. If they manage to avoid defeat against Tottenham at Anfield, they will become the only team in league history to have lost only 2 games and not to have won the Premiership. A bitter pill to swallow for the Rafa's men but in another way it proves that they have the potential next season to push on and perhaps move on to 19 league titles moving ahead of rivals Man Utd. Spurs are going for the Europa League spot so this could prove to be an entertaining game of football.

However, on Sunday we'll all be watching the drop zone, you've got to feel for the amount of nail biting that will be done for the supporters of the teams involved. Hull City will have to really scrap and fight to get any points against Manchester United who will rest some players but have one of the best squads in Premier League history. Newcastle tragically dropped back into the bottom 3 after losing 2-1 and will have to work really hard to get anything at Villa Park. Sunderland have Chelsea - also tough and Boro are away at Upton Park but in my mind were relegated (not mathematically) last week.

So who's going down? I'm going for Hull City and Middlesbrough to join West Bromwich Albion.

Good luck to the poor fans going to the matches on Sunday!
