Saints fans will be casting nervous glances towards Lancashire tonight as Wigan Athletic take on Swansea City in a game that has big implications for Southampton Football Club.
There is no kind way of putting this, if Wigan beat Swansea tonight, then we will find ourselves only a point off the final relegation place as what looked like being a nerve free end to the season is fast turning into one that will see those same nereves jangling come the final day.
If Swansea win tonight then they do have a tough trip to the Emirates next Tuesday to use up their game in hand because of their date at Wembley this Saturday, however their final game is Aston Villa at home and they would fancy their chances in that one.
Of course our fate is very much in our own hands and of all the clubs we probably have the easiest of final two games in travelling to Sunderland and facing Stoke at home, but this is very much something we could have done without and highlights the risk we took in January by failing to strengthen the squad.
A defeat for Swansea would of course leave them four points behind and needing to win both of their last two games to overtake us a task that would be very hard, however this season in the relegation dogfight has been a tough one and one that not only looks likely to have one of the highest points yields for the side that will go down in that final relegation place, but has also featured the most clubs, at time of writing and of course dependent on what Wigan do, 8 clubs could still get relegated in that final spot.
