After that, the team lost away to Liverpool (1:2), and also could not do anything with the defense of Crystal Palace (0:0).
Bournemouth
The "cherries" are destined for the fate of one of the fighters for survival.

The team achieved two victories, drew once and lost three times to its opponents. It is worth noting that all the failures were with a big score, whether it was a game with Arsenal (0:3), with Manchester City (0:3), or with Liverpool (0:9). But in the match of the last round, the Cherries were able to defeat Nottingham Forest (3:2). This fact allows the team to stay out of the relegation zone, namely, in 13th position.
