Kick-off: 7.45pm Southampton had now won on four of their six visits to Liberty Stadium in the Premier League (lost one) and kept five clean sheets. This result confirmed West Bromwich Albion's relegation to the League Championship. A draw would have meant that the Baggies would have had a chance of staying up on the final day of the season.

Comments:

League position: 18th Swansea City had now failed to score in eight home games in this Premier League season; more than any other team. Only already relegated Stoke City (13) were now on a longer run without a win in the Premier League than the Swans (eight). City started this game in the Premier League's relegation zone for the first time since 3 March 2018. They would now have to win their final game (at home to Stoke City) to stand any chance of avoiding relegation to the League Championship.

Comments:

League position: 16th Southampton had now won two of their last 11 games in the Premier League. Manolo Gabbiadini scored his fifth goal in his last 41 games for Southampton in all competitions; one fewer than he scored in his first four games for the Saints. Seven of their last 11 away wins in the Premier League had been against teams starting the day in the relegation zone.
