The Relegation Group is one of the most intense and competitive divisions in English football, with many teams vying for their survival in the top flight. In this group, two key matches have already taken place, with both games ending in draws.

In the first match of the week, Aston Villa faced off against West Bromwich Albion at Villa Park. Despite dominating much of the game, Villa were unable to find the back of the net, leaving them trailing by two goals going into the final half-hour. However, a late equalizer from Jack Grealish gave Villa hope, but it was not enough as they fell to a disappointing loss.

In the second match of the week, Tottenham Hotspur hosted Newcastle United at White Hart Lane. Spurs had a strong start, taking the lead early on through Harry Kane's header. However, Newcastle fought back and levelled the score just before halftime. In the second half, Newcastle continued to push forward and almost scored again, but Spurs held firm and managed to hold out for a hard-fought draw.

Both of these matches were closely contested and required a combination of skill, tactics, and luck to secure victory. Both teams will be hoping to take advantage of any slip-ups from the other side and secure a crucial point in their fight for survival in the Premier League. With just four matches remaining in the group stage, anything can happen and both sides will be looking to put pressure on each other in order to stay in contention for a spot in next season's Champions League.
