EPL review week 36: Saints have hope as Swansea & Huddersfield lose

Week 36 of the Premier League sees Southampton fans get a shot in the arm after winning the South Coast derby and seeing both Swansea and Huddersfield lose to Chelsea and Everton respectively.

The windpipes that fill the throats of Huddersfield and Swansea fans are becoming so tight an errant grape seed could wipe them all out. With three games remaining, both sides lost once again, while the three that currently occupy the gallows all gathered ground.

If you’re going to waste a prayer on anyone, David Wagner will take it. Before anyone kicked a 2017/18 Premier League football, his Huddersfield side was the bookmakers favourite to be a one-hit wonder. But, for the vast majority of the season, his team has punched above their weight – until now.

The ground beneath them is slippery.
