Fulham cardiff look definite, plus swansea on the last day on goal difference
Interesting, given out current GD is -4 compared to Norwich (-22), Palace (-19), Sunderland (-16), West Brom (-11) and Stoke (-14). Looking at everyones run-in I think it would be quite a swing to go down on goal difference...I think Fulham are already pretty much doomed.
Cardiff are close to that, but I think they are battling with West Brom, Palace, Sunderland and Norwich for the survival spots, and I think it will be all on the last days results.
If Norwich aren't 'safe' before their last 4 games, then they are down I think, given their run-in matches.

So West Brom, Norwich are the favourites to be the 3rd club... Still surprised there are not many votes for Sunderland
Norwich vs. Sunderland this coming Saturday could be winner takes all, in the quest to stay up, given both teams run-in games.Sunderland have got their hard games after this one, with a theoretically easier last 3, whereas Norwich's tough games are their last 4 matches, given they have Liverpool at home, away at Man U and Chelsea and finally Arsenal at home.
Going to be down to the wire.
Palace fan here. Very, very worried as goalscoring is becoming a distant memory. Also some big games coming up. Our only hope is that one or two rivals are imploding (esp. Norwich). I'm hoping Fulhams mini-revival is short lived, also West Bromwich and Sunderland, although they must have been gutted not to beat us last weekend.
Fingers crossed we can pick up one or two unexpected points, I guess everyone is hoping that too.
I still voted Fulham, Cardiff and Norwich, out of blind loyalty and optimism. My fingernails (and heart) can't take another two months of this! Having said that it's what we expected, all part of being a Palace fan and riding this roller coaster week after week...

Having lost a must-win game against West Brom at the weekend I am revising my prediction and can see us sadly fading away and going down.
Other teams seem to be picking up the occasional freak result (Villa v Chelsea. Norwich v Spurs and Fulham v Newcastle classic examples) but I just can't see us doing the same on current form.

Sunderland are definitely going down; and I'm not saying that just because I'm a Newcastle fan.
You just need to look at their fixtures for the remainder of the season:
Spurs - A
Everton - H
Man City - A
Chelsea - A
Cardiff - H
Man Utd - A
West Brom - H
Swansea - H
So out of a possible 24 points, what can they realistically expected to get?
9, maybe? If you ignore freak results and based on current form.
Even then, Cardiff, West Brom and Swansea are not exactly easy games but at least they're at home.
