Yes, all the 6 pointers are double edged swords though.There are plenty the following midweek though....Leeds-Forest is huge and that's on Tuesday 4th April. Leicester-Villa is also there.
Leeds have got a decent chance to properly pull away themselves as they also have Palace at home the following weekend so they'll be aiming for at least 30 points if not 32 and you're pretty close to safety then which would be some achievement considering they were second bottom after losing at Goodison.
West Ham-Southampton is also happening very soon.
You can make a case (in this instance you use Leeds) to say if they beat other rivals at the bottom they get out of it handily enough. But let's say Palace and Leicester and Bournemouth - who all play a lot of 6 pointers - mop up the points in those games: that means those other teams they beat are cratered on a low amount of points. Everton have four 6 pointers left and S'ton 3. That'd help those two teams in their fight for survival.
The chances are a lot of those fixtures will be drawn - which is two points lost in this current situation, for all of us.
