Most sides are now into their final 10 league matches of the campaign as they battle for the title, European places or for survival.
For Newcastle United, it has been a fight to avoid the drop since the start of the season. Although they now sit nine points clear of the bottom three with nine games remaining, head coach Eddie Howe insists his side are still in a relegation battle.
And there is still plenty to play for with some tough fixtures to come over the final two months of the campaign.
We have looked at every side currently in the bottom half of the Premier League table and compared their final fixture run-in to the end of the season.
Who will avoid the drop from the top flight this season and who will go down to the Championship?
