There's big money on tomorrow's game!
Every place we gain (or lose) tomorrow earns (or costs) us £2m in Premier League prize money!
We could finish as high as 10th or as low as 15th - so that's up to £10m riding on the game.

On a related note, staying up has earned us at least £84m next year (plus prize money), and something I didn't know before reading this interesting article (below), guaranteed us a 3rd year of parachute payments in the event we get relegated - currently worth £17m. (Clubs that go straight down again only get 2 years).
Good article here in the Guardian today got me thinking about all this:
