Think Southampton are done for now.

Really could be any of the others up to 12th for the other 2 places though, anyone gets a couple results and they look clear, with someone else looking doomed! Should be some great games to watch involving them all.

Would like West Ham and Wolves to go, with Saints, but think it’ll be Bournemouth and Forest.

Might depend who Leicester get and whether Moyes stays/goes.

With a bit of luck it will be Forest, Forest and Forest.

Southampton and Forest look toast.

That third spot is wide open though - Lesta/Everton/Bournemouth/West Ham/Leeds/Wolves

West Ham have a horrendous run in and look knackered, they also are still in Europe. Last night will either make or break them.

I fancy both Leeds and Bournemouth to get out of this - both attack, both score goals, neither seems to have any fear and they both have winnable fixtures.

Leicester arguably have the easiest run in of al the teams down there - loads of six pointers at home to their relegation rivals. But their form is Eric Dier. I think they will get an old school manager in and grind it out - just.

Everton - Tough one, Dyche is the right man, but I’m wondering if they left it a couple of games too late. They have a bad run of fixtures coming up.

Wolves - will bore draw themselves out of trouble

So Southampton and Forest definitely, then either West Ham or Everton

Think it will be leicester and forest though

The thing about Everton is that even if they stay up, they could face a points deduction next season and they have faaack all money to spend and a shiete squad - Dyche will really have his work cut out next year.

Will be interesting to see if any of the sides that drop face FFP issues in the Championship. Southampton seems like a well run ship and I would expect them to be fine and bounce back quickly. Forest??? Spent loads and loads. West Ham - probably okay, Bournemouth - spent big, Lesta ???

Changes all the time for me. But I'll go Southampton, Bournemouth, Forest. Leicester are the other team I fear for the most but as only three can go down, I'll have them just about safe for now

West Ham still have to play us (United) and always play like men possessed in that fixture, plus we're hopeless away. So I fully expect them to win that. They'd only probably need one other win aside from that

Southampton
Forest
Leicester - Bournemouth - Leeds

Think West Ham, Everton and Wolves will have enough to get out of it, predominantly thanks to home support and with the crowd behind them. Dyche effect should help Everton.

Leeds have a fairly kind run in, facing 2 of the bottom sides at home and 2 away. We also face gutless Spurs at home on the final day.

Everton will escape they always seem to although next season may be a step too far there.

I definitely see Bournemouth and Southampton for the drop so I’ll add West Ham to that who I think are terrible.

Leeds, Everton and Wolves are on the up with their new managers. I'd back them all to stay up now which didn't look likely even a month ago.

West Ham should be too good to go down but they can't put a decent run together so should worry.

Leicester if they get a new boss in might be the ones that can escape their current situation.

Southampton are gone. Bournemouth hopefully join them.

Forest, Leicester and possibly West Ham the candidates for the 3rd spot. Rooting for Forest but probably the most likely if Leicester get a manager quickly.

Those odds might well shorten noticeably if they lose at Elland Road on Sunday. Their form leading up to Viera's sacking was utterly woeful, dear old Roy Hodgson should be enjoying a well-earned semi-retirement now, not trying to perform emergency repairs to a damaged vessel.

The ugly antics resorted to by Everton to avoid the drop last season make me want to see them go down this time round, Dyche'll have his work cut out, that's for sure.
