Bottom 9 teams are :
Everton 28 pts. -4 gd
Palace 27 pts -7 gd
West Brom 27 pts -10 gd
Hull 26 pts -10
Sunderland 25 pts -14
Qpr 22 pts - 18
Burnley 22 pts -19
Villa 22 pts -23
Leicester 18 pts -18.
So essentially to go down palace and west brom need to get 2 more points than us, hull 3 more points, sunderland 4 more points and 2 of qpr, burnley and villa need to get 7 more points that us or leicester need to get 11 more points.
So, on current form, are 6 of those teams doing that. Are they getting much more points than we are?
Over the last 6 games, we got 7 points. Now we had both chelsea and city so the hardest fixtures of any of those 9 but that's our current form: 7 out of 6. If 6 of the bottom 8 teams got more than that in the last 6 games we're in trouble.
Palace got 10 points and West brom got 8 points.
Hull got 7 points. Sunderland got 5 points. Burnley 5, Leicester 4, QPR 3 and Villa 0 from the last 6.
On current form we'd be overtaken by 2 of those teams. Which would leave us 14th. We can start panicking when another 4 teams start gaining on us. Right now they're losing ground.
