EPL: Who Will Survive The Drop, Semi Ajayi Or The Quadruple In Fulham


EPL:
  EPL: Who Will Survive The Drop, Semi Ajayi Or The Quadruple In Fulham By Omolagba Oluwayemi With two wins all season, West Brom looks dead and buried and many have tipped them not to survive the drop but with three wins in just a month including a big 5-2 win at the Stamford Bridge against Chelsea and a 3-0 win against Southampton yesterday making it their first back-to-back wins this season, Semi Ajayi and West Brom have given themselves a hope for premier league survival. Currently placed 19th on the log with 24 points from 32 games, one game lesser than 18th place Fulham, West Brom could find themselves in 18th place with seven points from safety if they win their game in hand and with a fine run of form in the remaining six fixtures, Sam Allardyce could continue his record of rescuing teams from the drop in the premier league. Unlike the camp of the Baggies, Fulham will have themselves to blame for their recent slumber should they end up relegating. Presently parading two Nigeria internationals Ola Aina and Josh Maja, with two other eligible to represent Nigeria in Tosin Adarabioyo and Ademola Lookman, Fulham were initially tipped to break out of the bottom three having beaten Everton Sheffield United and Liverpool within the space of a month, but had since gone back to the struggles that pecked then down the relegation zone all season. With Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United still to come for them, it's unlikely they'll survive the drop this season and should they go back to the Championship, it'll be the second time in recent years they got promoted and relegated the following season having done that in the 2018/19 season. Although West Brom also have some crunchy ties against Leicester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham, if they can muster the courage they saw them inflicts first and only defeat as at the time of writing this on Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea, then they can repeat the feat against the premier league big boys. Will Semi Ajayi remain in the premier league with West Brom at the end of the season or will it be the quadruple Nigerians in Fulham who will scale through, we keep our fingers crossed
