The Premier League’s seven-way relegation battle – who will survive?

Crystal Palace: 17th (25pts)

Sam Allardyce has not had quite the desired effect the club wanted since he took over from Alan Pardew back in December.

Fans have been dismayed by some performances, including an humiliating home defeat to Sunderland in early February, with the Eagles losing 0-4 on that occasion.

The squad is a talented bunch however, up front the Eagles have record signing Christian Benteke leading the line, and in the wide areas, there is certainly quality there, including Wilfried Zaha, Andros Townsend, Patrick van Aanholt and Jeffrey Schlupp.

In the middle, they’ve got the likes of Yohan Cabaye and Mathieu Flamini, as well. Ultimately for Palace, despite their ability and potential, they haven’t performed to their capable standards this season, hence their precarious position.

They haven’t been getting that service to Benteke enough, but something tells us the South London club will survive. Allardyce has a reputation of keeping teams up, like he did with Sunderland in the 2015-16 season, who looked destined for relegation this term.
