AS the European leagues head for a conclusion we thought it'd be appropriate to see how our Aussies Abroad are faring with regard to winning trophies, getting promoted or relegated and perhaps even qualifying for Europe.
English Premier League
Brett Emerton & Vince Grella – Blackburn
Still not safe down in 15th, three points above drop zone, with two games to play. Host Manchester United, then could be set for a tense final day away to Wolverhampton.
David Carney – Blackpool
In the relegation zone in 18th with two games to play. One point behind safe Wolverhampton in 17th. Host Bolton, then go to Manchester United.
Tim Cahill – Everton
Seventh, can not qualify for Europe despite late-season surge.

Sitting midtable in 10th but could qualify for Europa League due to good Fair Play record.
Chris Herd – Aston Villa
Practically safe in 14th, six points clear of drop zone.
Italian Serie A
Mark Bresciano – Lazio
Sixth, two points behind Udinese in the fourth and final UEFA Champions League spot with two games to play. Host Genoa then travel to Lecce. Fifth and sixth qualify for Europa League, with seventh-placed Juventus three points behind Lazio.

Carl Valeri – Sassuolo
Down in 16th with three games to play. Bottom three (20th, 21st, 22nd) get automatically relegated, while 18th and 19th face a playoff. Sassuolo are currently two points above 18th-placed AlbinoLeffe and five points above 20th-placed Triestina.
