1. Will the relegation battle extend to the final day of the season?

With both Burnley and Queens Park Rangers succumbing to relegation, there's only one more place yet to be determined to join them in the Championship next campaign. Hull City are in the greatest danger at the moment, trailing Newcastle and Sunderland by two points with the Black Cats still to play an additional game. Leicester City are yet to secure safety just yet, either, though they look the most capable of all the remaining teams given their incredible run of form. Does the season draw to a close for Hull this weekend, or will there be last-day drama yet again?

2. Who do you want to win the Championship playoff?

While relegation from the Premier League is a sad occasion, we have the bonus of fresh blood in the league each season. Watford FC and AFC Bournemouth have secured automatic promotion, while the playoffs are under way for four teams to claim the final spot for the 2015-2016 season. Middlesbrough, Brentford, Ipswich Town and Norwich City are all in contention to come up, with 'Boro holding the advantage with a 2-1 victory in their first-leg match over Brentford. Ipswich and Norwich played to a 1-1 draw. Who do think will come up, and do you have a preference?

3. Which Burnley & QPR players do you want in the EPL next year?

The transfer window will be opening soon, and as is always the case, the relegated clubs will be pillaged for their most promising talents, who will be eager to secure another season playing in the top flight. Who do you want to see in the EPL for another season, whether for fantasy or real-life?

4. Is Memphis Depay a luxury signing or does he fill a need?

Speaking of transfers, the window's not even open yet and Manchester United have already confirmed a new signing for next season with PSV Eindhoven's mercurial winger on his way to Old Trafford in the summer. The Red Devils have struggled to keep the pace with the title race this season, with many of their issues stemming from a lack of defensive quality in the side. There may be additional marquee signings on the way later this summer to fill those defensive holes in the squad, but with Juan Mata, Adnan Januzaj, Ashley Young, Antonio Valencia and Angel Di Maria already available in the wide attacking positions, is Depay the type of player United need for next season?

5. How many and which double gamers will you have this week?

Arsenal and Sunderland will play twice in the final double week of the season. The Gunners fell to a frustrating loss against Swansea on Monday night, while Sunderland will be high on confidence after their 2-0 victory over Everton in Week 36. Arsenal play against Manchester United in their first match of the week, while Sunderland will face Leicester. Is it wise to load up on Arsenal and/or Sunderland players, or are there better options available from the single game teams?
