Crunch Time

When these slates finish there will be 10 matchweeks left in the Premier League. The already palpable pressure will mount immensely across the table. The last relegation spot will be analyzed each week. The race for the top spot and qualification for European play is impacted by every touch of the ball.

Huddersfield are 14 points from safety with only 30 points possible points remaining after next Wednesday. Failing to get points in these matches likely seals their fate. Meanwhile, Fulham's match with Southampton is a six-pointer and the loser will likely sit in the bottom three. If Fulham fail to win they may also start making plans to return to the English Championship.

Crystal Palace leads a group of five teams that are only three points clear of the drop zone. They have arguably the toughest matches of the five over the next two matchweeks and may be fighting to stay alive.

At the top, fourth through sixth are separated by just one point. Manchester City and Liverpool are in a virtual deadlock for the title.

This is a great time of year for the general soccer fan, but can be gut-wrenching for a club's die hard supporters. Every match is analyzed further and any mistake could mean that much more. Will the pressure break any managers and players? Time will tell, but hopefully it does not hinder your FanDuel lineup.
