After Watford‘s shock thrashing of Premier League leaders Liverpool, the Premier League has seen a shockwave of speculation about the relegation places.
Furthermore, bottom team Norwich City beat Leicester City 1-0 late last week, which makes many fans wonder if these teams can escape the relegation zone. Also, who could go down instead of them?
With that, here are some predictions regarding who could be relegated following Matchday 28, with ten games left to go. The teams’ placements will be predicted as well.
Premier League Relegation Candidates (Post-Matchday 28)
Brighton & Hove Albion: 18th
Brighton & Hove Albion lost 1-0 to Crystal Palace on Saturday, leaving them 15th in the table. They are only one point ahead of the drop.
The Seagulls have drawn three games in between two losses in their last five games. They haven’t won a match in the entirety of 2020 so far. Their last win came in a 2-0 defeat of Bournemouth at the end of December.
Their downward spiral might just see them return to the Championship come the end of the season.
Aston Villa: 19th
It all looked so bright for Aston Villa. As things went on, it seemed that star man Jack Grealish and his teammates could keep Villa in the league, perhaps even comfortably.
Recently, however, things just haven’t been smooth sailing.
They’ve gained four points from a possible 15 recently, and look more destined to disappointingly return to the English second-tier as the weeks go by. This will be a shame for many fans who predicted a comfortable mid-table finish at the start of the season.
If they keep this poor form up, however, Grealish and co will be going down.
Norwich City: 20th
Rock-bottom, but hopeful. Norwich, after beating Leicester, are now only a small string of wins away from safety. However, it won’t be easy whatsoever to make the escape.
The Canaries’ next match is against Sheffield United. The Blades are flying high in the league, only five points away from Chelsea in fourth place. The rest of their matches until May are against teams currently lower in the table, such as the likes of Everton, Southampton, and Arsenal.
Even if they were to get a couple of wins under their belt, they might just still look destined for the drop.
