According to Roy Keane, the Premier League's bottom "seven or eight" clubs, including Leeds United, Everton, West Ham, and Nottingham Forest, have been "really poor" and the level of competition has decreased.
The bottom eight clubs on the table have unintentionally formed their own mini-league with eight to nine games remaining in the Premier League. However, Crystal Palace and Chelsea are six points clear of the rest.
Below that, all nine teams are battling the possibility of relegation. Palace has won two straight games and moved six points clear of the relegation zone. Following the 5-1 loss against Palace, Leeds is currently in 16th place, only two points above the bottom three.
