Seriously tight down there at the minute, only the 6 points separating Everton in 12th to Burnley in 19th
I think it'll be something like this :
18th Aston Villa -Really can't see them sorting it out
19th QPR- Just seem to lack quality
20th Leicester -Again I just can't see them sorting it
Yeah it's touch and go.
Leicester I think are going down - They've also got some very tough fixtures, with Everton, Spurs and Man City coming up. But ultimately, I think the decider will be the game against Hull. If they can't get a point out of that, and bearing in mind that Hull have got a great run of the fixtures, the gap will be far to big to close at the bottom, and that'll be it for them.
QPR could well stay up if they can get a couple of points away, but if they do I reckon it will be by the skin

of their teeth. Not a easy run of fixtures coming up either for them, with Hull away, three London derbies in a row, two at home to Arsenal and Spurs, and one away at Palace. The ones at home QPR could well get a couple of points out of. I really like Burnley, one of my favourite teams in the Premier League. Sadly, I really can't see them staying up. They have a really tough run of fixtures up until gameweek 34 (Chelsea, Liverpool, Southampton, Everton (away), Swansea, Man City, Spurs, Arsenal (home). They can probably get a couple of points out of them, but in my opinion, not enough to save themselves. The last four gameweeks will be the decider I think for Burnley.
Hull, West Brom and Aston Villa will stay up I think. A great run of fixtures coming up for them, which will probably get them out of the relegation zone. They are safe I think.
Now we come to Sunderland. I think they will stay up, but will finish 17th. Not doing to well at the minute, but I reckon they will get enough points to stay up.
So, I reckon the three teams that got promoted from the Championship last year will go back down...

Now, who does everyone think will get promoted from the Championship. I reckon:
Automatic play off places: Middlesbrough, Derby
Play off winner: Norwich
