Middlesbrough were confirmed as a Championship side for next season on Monday, joining already-relegated Sunderland, leaving the Swans and Hull battling to avoid the final place.
A win for Swansea away to Sunderland will leave Hull needing a win to avoid relegation.

As we move onto the 3pm kick offs it means sadly saying goodbye to this look from Alan Pardew. All the goals and action from the three games coming up as it happens...
GOAL! Sunderland 0 Swansea 1 - Fernando Llorente
Crucial goal for Swansea, Gylfi Sigurdsson whips in a free kick and Llorente leaps to head it in.
GOAL! Bournemouth 1 Burnley 0 - Junior Stanislas
Ball over the top well chested down by Stanislas who then coolly slots it past Heaton to give his side the lead. Well taken goal.
