Premier League relegation picture: Who is going down?

The battle for Premier League survival continued on Saturday as Everton beat Leeds 3-0 while Watford and Norwich fell to home defeats – but which teams are best placed to avoid the drop?

Only 10 points separate the seven sides at the bottom of the table – and basement boys Burnley have at least two games in hand on all of their rivals barring Everton.

An upturn in results for Newcastle has seen the Toffees, Brentford and Leeds dragged into a relegation scrap. The Bees have picked up just one point from their last six games, while Marcelo Bielsa’s side have only two wins from their last nine matches.

Burnley have slipped seven points adrift of safety after Newcastle’s win over Aston Villa and their own defeat at Turf Moor against Liverpool on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Watford slipped to defeat at home to Brighton on Saturday and lie just a point above the Clarets, and Norwich remain 18th after their heavy home loss to Manchester City.
