CHRIS SUTTON's bottom of the table worryometer

The Premier League looks set for its tightest relegation battle ever this season with just four points separating Southampton in 20th and Crystal Palace in 12th.

Never before has the league seen its bottom nine clubs so bunched at such a crucial juncture in the season, with supporters and pundits alike wholly uncertain of which teams will survive and which will be playing in the Championship next term.

With vital 'six-pointer' clashes to come between the sides as the season enters its final straight, the question of relegation looks set to go down to the final day.
