West Ham - same points as 19th place - next six games: Leicester A Liverpool H Brighton H Man City A Liverpool A Saints H
Well tonight has really shaken up the relegation battle. If it hadn't been for Burnley's comeback win against Leicester on Sunday, there would have been a clear gap between the bottom 7 and the rest.
Arsenal are dismal today. I know they're down to 10 men, but an hour played without a single shot, on or off target What I meant was aren't Arsenal efficient with their shots - one shot one goal Edit. 2 shots, 2 goals. Pretty impressive really
And Villa. Massive. Watford are one of the top form teams, and they've just plunged below the line again.
I have looked at the remaining fixtures for Bournemouth and they are in for a very difficult next few months. The fixtures remaining only include Villa amongst their neighbouring strugglers but the matches in April and May should make the supporters down at the Vitality very nervous. I felt that they did well to defeat Brighton last night yet I still reckon Bournemouth will go down.
Bournemouth are a bit like us in that they often seem to perform at their best when they're playing the 'big teams'. Are they starting to have players return from injury too? It's difficult to call who will go down yet. Norwich are the only ones that look almost dead and buried.
Yeah I put up their run in a few pages back. On paper doesn't look good, but actually a lot of those teams will have nothing to play for by then, and that is the ideal time to play them. Also, they have Eddie Howe. It is certainly hotting up for one of the juiciest relegation battles in years though. Can't believe Villa keep managing to keep their head above the water.
