Bournemouth and Burnley could easily get dragged in imo. Think Leicester will be alright in the end.

Burnley?
Leave off!

Boro are devoid of creativity and they struggle to put the ball in the back of the net, if they don't pick up three points soon they'll eventually get dragged into the relegation fight.

Leicester
Sunderland
Palace.

I don't see it

Think I heard that Leicester have spent somewhere close to 70 million since they won the title in May.To see where they are after that outlay is awful without even taking into account the fact they're PL champions.

Negredo comes up with goals when needed...they aint worse than the others by a stretch

Well they've needed goals from him all season, ain't he scored like 6 or something? They're also the lowest scoring team in the league.

£70m outlay is why they are where they are...£30m of that was from selling Kante...the loss of which has been pivotal

Burnley. Their home form will keep them up. Leicester should get their act together. It's hard to predict. I would thinkeep Crystal Palace could be one of them. Hull and Swansea seems to have picked up form recently. Bournemouth form has slumped recently.

So my prediction would be

18. Bournemouth
19. Hull
20. Sunderland

Palace look certain to go down

They have these as their remaining away games

Liverpool
City
United
Chelsea
Saints
West Brom


They also have Spurs and Arsenal at home

Maybe Bamford gets the nod soon & scores like he did before

Burnley will be fine. Bournemouth and Swansea shouldn't struggle, but a run of 3 or 4 bad results and they can easily get sucked in.

lets see how they fair at home to City today...probably lose by a goal but I think they're fine for staying

Definitely wouldn't rule Swansea or Bournemouth out of it.
The Swans have had an upturn of form, whereas the Cherries seem to be in a massive slump.

Quite often we see a surprise team fall into the battle, and one to look out for could be Southampton. Wouldn't be the first team to get to the League Cup final then suffer a hangover. Not been the best team as is, and losing Fonte and van Dijk could be massive. Gabbiadini looks a great signing though, much needed as they hadn't replaced Pelle.

I think the same happened with Bmouth last season. Good first half of the season, bit of a lull and then came back relatively strong as the season ended.

(wouldn't rule Watford out either, despite their recent 2-1 win over Arsenal)

Saints will be OK me thinks. It's Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Leicester who are currently in bad form. This could change in the upcoming games so though.

Swansea's ace has been the addition of Paul Clement in the hot seat
He will see them through

Gab will be my next FF addition

I think we're (Palace) doomed.
Pardew was stuck in one of his trademark 'ruts' but in general the footy, if not the results, wasn't so bad tbh. Fairly exciting and a good few goals.
Under Sam it's friggin' abysmal! Crap to watch along with crap results.
It's going to be a long few months.

The one thing Palace have in their favour is a proven goalscorer in Benteke.
Like Defoe at Sunderland, he could be the difference at the end of the day.
