The Premier League relegation fight has intensified with five teams battling to avoid the drop. Wolves are all but confirmed for relegation at the bottom, while Burnley sits 19th, eight points from safety. West Ham currently occupies the final relegation spot in 18th place, just two points from safety with 11 games remaining.

Nottingham Forest, Tottenham, and Leeds are also in serious danger, separated by just four points. The fixture list favors Leeds and Spurs, who face more favorable opponents in their remaining games. West Ham has shown recent improvement with only one loss in their last six matches, while Forest has gained momentum under new manager Vitor Pereira following an encouraging performance against Liverpool.

The Opta supercomputer gives Burnley a 97.8% chance of relegation and Wolves at 100%, with West Ham at 70.8%. Leeds has the lowest probability at 2.2%, having lost only one of their last six games. The battle will likely be decided by crucial six-pointer matches in March and April, including Tottenham vs Forest and Leeds vs Burnley. With teams significantly stronger than last season's relegated trio, the 40-point mark may be the safety threshold needed to survive.
