Borussia Dortmund edge past Chelsea in last 16 first leg
The Premier League relegation scrap needs some serious paring down, as a remarkably-high nine teams sit within five points of 20th place on the 2022-23 Premier League table.
That means we’re set, at least for now, for more relegation six-pointers than at any time in recent memory — many of them, you’ll see below, will involve Bournemouth — and the odds are in favor of a relatively surprising team heading down to the Championship.
As for now, Wolves and Saints are the form teams in the fight, while Leicester is on the league’s longest losing streak and Crystal Palace sure could use a win.
Will the Premier League’s current bottom three of Bournemouth, Leeds and Southampton still be there when the season ends?
Below you’ll see the latest standings, the fixtures for the teams still in danger of dropping into the second tier, relegation odds, and our prediction for who will collect how many points.
