It's proving to be one of the most competitive battles against relegation for years in the Premier League and it's set to go down to the wire.
While the weekend saw the likes of Norwich City and Watford seal a return to the Championship less than a year after promotion, the battle to avoid becoming the third and final team to join them in the second tier is heating up at the end of the season.
For a long time it looked like being a straight dog fight between Burnley and Everton. However, their relative form compared to their position in the table has been impressive enough in recent weeks to even drag Leeds United into the fight.

Leeds themselves have also seen an upturn in fortunes during this time, but a heavy weekend defeat at home by Manchester City has seen their table rivals home in on them with Burnley winning 2-1 at Watford and Everton overcoming Chelsea 1-0.
Right now, it's Burnley and Leeds sitting pretty with 34 points from as many games with four to play, while Everton sit in the relegation zone two points back but with a crucial game in hand. Effectively they are now all averaging around a point per game for the season.
That's not always been the case, and all three have improved in some form having sacked their managers earlier in the season.
Burnley were the last of the bottom five to dispense with their boss who led them into the campaign when Sean Dyche's decade long reign was brought to an end after a 2-0 defeat at Norwich last month.
That of course was only four games ago but Burnley had also only managed 24 points from 30 games at that point.
Leeds, meanwhile, pulled the plug on Marcelo Bielsa's tenure when the Argentine's defence started showing more holes than a sieve. A 4-0 home defeat by Tottenham at the end of February saw them with only 23 points from 26 games.
Everton curiously are slightly worse off points wise per game under Frank Lampard than they were with Rafa Benitez, who was sacked with 19 points from as many matches after a 2-1 loss against Norwich in mid January.
However, Everton's tally under Benitez is boosted by having won four of their first six games of the season before form spiralled out of control under the former Liverpool boss.
With that in mind it would be incredibly unfair to suggest Frank Lampard has not in some way improved the Toffees since his arrival.

It's an old cliche but teams usually start to arrest poor form by stopping defeats and the former Chelsea boss appears to be addressing that issue as best as he can with the tools available to him.
Everton have dug in.
