The March international break is the final pit stop before the Premier League reaches its climactic ending and the fate of those clubs at the bottom of the table is decided.
Nottingham Forest are one of those clubs fighting for survival this season, their first back in the top flight for 23 years. They are joined by a host of other clubs in one of the closest relegation battles in memory.
Traditionally big clubs such as Everton and Leeds United are right in the thick of it, while Southampton are in severe danger of going back down to the Championship after a decade in the Premier League. Meanwhile, West Ham and Leicester City are more surprising participants in the race to stay up, and although Crystal Palace and Wolves are closer to the midtable than the rest, they are far from safe as things stand.
