Premier League relegation scrap: Current form, fixtures, odds, predictions
The Premier League relegation scrap needs some serious paring down, as a remarkably-high eight teams sit within eight 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, Bournemouth and West Ham are the form teams in the fight, while Leicester City and Nottingham Forest sure could use a win.
Will the Premier League’s current bottom three of Nottingham Forest, Leicester City 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.
Closest Premier League relegation scrap in history?
After at least 26 matches of a PL season this was the tightest it had ever been between 12th place and 20th place.
Just eight points now separate almost half of the Premier League.
