Premier League relegation battle analysed with NINE teams in the mix to go down

It proved to be another dramatic weekend of Premier League action at the foot of the table as the gap between the bottom nine teams tightened ever closer.

There were huge victories for Southampton and Wolves in the battle to stay in the division, while none of the other six sides managed to pick up a win. Nottingham Forest and Everton shared the points in a topsy-turvy encounter at the City Ground, with Crystal Palace, Leicester, West Ham, Leeds and Bournemouth all losing.

Those results mean that just six points separate 12th-place Palace and rock-bottom Bournemouth heading into the final stretch of the season. Apart from Wolves and Everton (26 each), all the sides in and around the relegation dogfight have played 25 matches, meaning there is still plenty of football to play.
