Premier League relegation: Which teams will drop into Championship?

The battle for relegation looks like it's going to the wire.

Southampton's defeat by Nottingham Forest leaves them stranded at the bottom of the table, eight points adrift of safety and on the brink of the drop.

The Saints know anything but a win at home to Fulham on Saturday will confirm their relegation to the Championship.

But, with three points separating the four teams above and three games each left to play, there is plenty more drama to come.
