It’s shaping up to be an interesting end to the Premier League season at both ends of the table, with just four points between the top two and three points separating 17th from 18th.
Nottingham Forest are the first side currently safe, but have just got rid of manager Sean Dyche, so turmoil could follow, especially with five of the big six to play.
West Ham, in the final relegation spot, could well climb out, but they themselves have three big-six sides still to play.
Below them, Burnley on 18 points and Wolves on just 10 are surely already too far adrift of safety.
Just above the relegation places, there are four clubs, up to Crystal Palace in 13th, who are within five points of Forest.
Perhaps surprisingly, despite having finished 17th last season, Tottenham are down there on just 29 points.
They face rivals Arsenal and in the final four games of the season, they have two of the current top five as well as relegation-threatened Leeds in a potential six-pointer.
The Whites themselves are just one point above Tottenham, and their immediate run of fixtures is tough, with third-placed Aston Villa and then Manchester City back-to-back, before Manchester United a few weeks later.
But they face no teams in the top half of the table in the final month of the season.
Brighton have a tough final 12 games, yet to play five of the big six, including United on the final day of the season.
The final of the potentially threatened sides, Palace, finish the season against Arsenal, who could still be fighting for the title by then, though in the eight games prior to that, only one of their opponents is in the top six of the league (Liverpool).
