West Ham’s late heroics on Tuesday night put Manchester City’s destiny back in their own hands and avoiding defeat tomorrow will suffice for them to finish in fourth place, even if hoping for Arsenal to lose at home to Aston Villa to have a chance of third may be pushing it. There were times this season when being comfortably safe on the last day looked highly unlikely for Swansea, and while the decision to award Francesco Guidolin the job full-time this week was a surprise, it was a deserved one. The Italian has probably done enough since succeeding Garry Monk to deserve a crack at a season from the start. Paul Chronnell
