Suddenly, the Premier League relegation picture is not so clear. Before Christmas, Sunderland, Hull City and Swansea City seemed destined for the drop but a raft of managerial changes and one transfer window later, and three becomes six.
Bournemouth, winless so far in 2017 and on 27 points, and Watford on 28, whose shock 2-1 Tuesday win at Arsenal followed a sequence of just one victory in eight matches, could yet be dragged into the battle too. So who from the six below have the capabilities to survive?
20th: Sunderland (16 points)
"Tottenham could not win at Sunderland [a 0-0 draw] with their talented young players," said Man City manager Pep Guardiola on Wednesday, seeking to explain the difficulties of the Premier League.
