Your support makes all the difference.Burnley and Southampton took big steps toward avoiding relegation from the Premier League with crucial victories on Saturday, while Cardiff inched closer to the drop after a third straight loss.
Chris Wood may well have secured another season in the top flight for Burnley by scoring both goals in a 2-0 home win over Cardiff, a result that leaves the Welsh club five points from safety in 18th place.
Burnley now looks safe on 39 points, 11 ahead of Cardiff, while Southampton boosted its chances of staying up by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1.
Brighton, though, is still in trouble after being hammered 5-0 at home by Bournemouth to drop to 17th place.
Fulham, which has also been relegated with Huddersfield, earned its first win since January by beating Everton 2-0.

Tottenham moved third in the day's early action with an excellent hat-trick from Lucas Moura taking them past a largely lifeless Huddersfield:
Moving ever nearer to kick-off.
Predictions? I fancy at least a couple of draws this afternoon...
The whistles blow, the first passes are played.
The afternoon's Premier League action continues: the three o'clock fixtures have begun.
GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Wolves (Nathan Redmond, 2 minutes)
What a start for Southampton!
Josh Sims, starting for the first time this season, is involved in the build up but it is Nathan Redmond who scores brilliantly, beating Romain Saiss to the ball and finding an incisive finish.
Burnley 0-0 Cardiff, 2 minutes
Nearly a great start for Burnley, too, Chris Wood heading against the post after a Dwight McNeil free kick.
Fulham 0-0 Everton, 5 minutes
Positive beginning for Fulham, seeking a first win under Scott Parker this afternoon.
Aleksandar Mitrovic curls into Jordan Pickford's arms.
A rip-roaring start from Southampton, the earliest of leads through Nathan Redmond.
Southampton 1-0 Wolves, 10 minutes
Wolves have come back into this one well, however, and Leander Dendocker should find the target with his header from a lovely Joao Moutinho free kick, just directing the ball wide.
Burnley 0-0 Cardiff, 11 minutes
Neil Etheridge is briefly caught out as he jostles at a corner, Burnley's sizeable cohort testing the Cardiff goalkeeper aerially.
Etheridge just about gets a paw to the ball to get it away.
