A closer look at the Premier League relegation picture

The Premier League relegation battle looks set to head for the wire with most teams in the bottom half of the table still looking over their shoulders.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the clubs with plenty still to do to retain their top-flight status.

Eddie Howe has overseen a remarkable turnaround at Newcastle, who won six of their seven league games through February and March to lift themselves out of imminent danger.

The Magpies were three points from safety in December but after a successful January transfer window are now nine points above the bottom three and showing no signs of letting it slip.

Brentford were on the slide at the end of last month after taking just one point from eight league games, but back-to-back wins have lifted them eight points clear of the bottom three.

January arrival Christian Eriksen has provided a big boost and despite a tough run-in – they face relegation rivals Everton and Leeds in their last two matches – the Bees should steer clear of the drop zone.
