Stoke and West Brom most in danger for me. Neither - especially Albion - showing much sign of survival. Give it a couple of weeks without Zaha and Palace could be in the mire too - but it's going to be tight for us. Very. So much hinges on the home games with Swansea and Huddersfield.

Huddersfield have had a good first half against Bournemouth and deserve their 2 goals.
West Brom are in some trouble, but the other 2 places are completely open and would probably remain so until April at the earliest.

Few weeks ago I thought Swansea were dead in the water (no pun), now look at them. I think anything could happen in this seasons relegation battle.

Having gone to the game and watched the highlights on Match of the Day, I concur. The squabbling among their players was a sight to behold, we, on the other hand, showed tremendous team spirit, belief and resolve. We may not have won the game but the drama of the penalty save and the interventions by Dunk and Knockaert made it feel like a win. An extraordinary scene of togetherness between the fans and the team made for an unforgettable moment.

If any of the promoted teams are in danger I'd say it's Newcastle.
Anything really could happen. In seasons gone by there have been crisis clubs (Sunderland, Villa) who were hopeless from the start and went down meekly, and/or at least one promoted club ill-equipped for the PL, making the table a bit less congested. No such case this season, everyone has a genuine case for survival. Plus the knock on effect of the Top 6 pulling away competitively, making such results scarce and thus meaning that the gutter teams have to go life and limb with each other by getting results in more "winnable" games

Depth of squad is going to have a big effect as well in the run-in.
Mooy just gone off on a stretcher for Huddersfield.

Because of our run in we need to pick up points in all our home games but Swansea is very important.

So Huddersfield now 3-1 up against a team we failed to beat. What a moronic thread.

Very deep cut apparently, no idea how long one of those keeps you out, not long I would have thought.

Just a deep cut on the knee apparently. Stitches, but nothing more.
Wouldn't wish an serious injury on any player, especially not those heading off to the World Cup with Ryan in 4 months time.
Huddersfield's first win since December 9th...
...against us.
I'm not sure why today's result means it's a moronic thread, whether or not you agree with the selections. I still see Huddersfield as one of my three to go down.

Oh how right was I, the only good thing to come out of this result is the injury.

Not yet it's not. We still have Swansea, Palace and Huddersfield to play along with Leicester, Everton and Burnley who we should have a chance of a point against them.
If we beat Palace, Swansea and Huddersfield we stay up IMO.
No.
