CHRIS SUTTON'S guide to the Premier League relegation scrap

As the Premier League heads into the final stretch of the season, the relegation battle is heating up with just 13 points between 15th place and 20th.

Brentford look as though they should be safe, while the pressure remains on Leeds United and Everton, who sit just outside of the drop zone.

Burnley, Watford and Norwich City are the teams currently going down but all three have been picking up results of late, which could make it an interesting end to the campaign.

Sportsmail looks at all of the relegation candidates. 

BRENTFORD 

THE GOOD NEWS - Christian Eriksen's arrival has not only added creativity to Brentford's play. It's given the entire club a lift, and Brentford are in a good place. 

Back-to-back wins against direct relegation rivals in Norwich then Burnley were season defining. It helps they have the world's best penalty taker in Ivan Toney. 

Now they need, what, six points to realistically be able to say they're safe? I'm sure they'll get that and then some.

THE BAD NEWS - They're inexperienced. Brentford have never been here before. But then I'm not telling them anything they didn't know at the start of the season. Thomas Frank has frequently described his club as a 'bus stop in Hounslow'. 

I'll be honest - my pre-season predictions had this 'bus stop' getting flattened. But Brentford have been brave, a third of their goals have come from set pieces, and they're in an envious position now.

WHERE I THINK THEY'LL FINISH - 15th 

LEEDS UNITED 

THE GOOD NEWS - The scenes at the end of Sunday's game at Elland Road really were something. 

When you strip it all back, they worryingly relied on a 94th-minute winner to beat a struggling Norwich side at home. But ultimately, they secured three priceless points.
