Most pundits are convinced that Wolves and Burnley are down, and they would both need something spectacular to stay up from here. Burnley conceded the fewest goals in the Championship last season, but this season they have the worst defensive record in the Premier League. That leaves four other teams in my view - West Ham, Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Leeds - trying to avoid the final relegation spot. So, how do I think this will unravel, and what would I suggest these clubs try to avoid finishing 18th? I can recall an early conversation with Sir Alex Ferguson in my first season in the Premier League with Stoke City.
