Swansea boss Paul Clement believes Premier League relegation battle could become a nine-team dogfight

Swansea boss Paul Clement believes the Premier League relegation battle could end up becoming a nine-team dogfight.

Clement takes fast-improving Swansea to Hull on Saturday with a five-point buffer to the relegation zone, and a six-point lead over the 19th-placed Tigers.

Swansea have won five of Clement's eight games since he was appointed at the start of January, and another victory on Humberside would take them to the 30-point mark.

'It is still very close and those gaps can change at any time, both for you and against you,' Clement said.
