Premier League relegation battle: Is this how the table will look on January 1?

It's been all change at the foot of the Premier League table since the international break began two weeks ago, with three struggling clubs changing their managers as they look to arrest their slides.

The timing of those changes is understandable as we now enter the most crucial period of the season, with nine rounds of fixtures taking place before January 1 - by which time the table will have taken shape and ironed out any anomalies.

The likes of Leeds, Aston Villa and Southampton will be looking to pull clear of the relegation in the next six weeks, while Everton, Crystal Palace, Wolves and Brighton could yet be pulled into the scrap.
