In the summary section on the left, fourth bullet point down:

"Huddersfield confirm Premier League status with a draw".

Interesting...

Posting this at 25 minutes into the first half. It could be a simple mistake on their website, but it will look very suspicious if the game does finish as a draw.

It's 1 of 2 things, either it's really dodgy and football is corrupt in more ways than we already think to be true.

OR - the most likely

They have an automated set of headlines based off the result - the result currently being a draw. If either team score, check the page again and see if the text changes.

Also. I would really like Swansea to go up. I hate them don't get me wrong, but I'd much rather 2 welsh teams in the prem. It's best for Welsh football.

Isn't anyone else just seeing the statement as normal?

They DO confirm survival with a draw.

They've changed it now.

Huddersfield will confirm Premier League status with a draw
