Leeds are sweating over their nightmare fixtures, Leicester and Everton meet in a vital six-pointer and Southampton seem destined for the drop - but how do the run-ins fare for the bottom seven Premier League clubs as they fight to avoid relegation?

The Premier League trapdoor is getting ever closer to opening with clubs running out of time to secure their status in the top-flight next season.

Crystal Palace and Wolves appear to have pulled clear of the relegation battle, with Roy Hodgson and Julen Lopetegui having overseen an upturn in results since taking charge of the respective sides.

While Bournemouth are just a point behind both clubs, manager Gary O'Neil has insisted his team must exceed their current tally of 36 points to ensure their survival. West Ham, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest currently have their heads above water heading into their final five Premier League matches - six in the case of the Hammers.
