Monaco boss Thierry Henry is looking to sign Crystal Palace centre-back Mamadou Sakho, 28, as well as Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, 31, this month. (Independent)
Fulham and Huddersfield are 19th and 20th this year, no question of that.
That leaves one relegation place between Cardiff, Newcastle, Burnley and Palace.
I would be shocked to see Newcastle go down under Benitez. They will grind out enough results to stay up. You could make the same argument for Burnley under Dyche.
Palace’s survival relies completely on ensuring Zaha stays fit. Without him they are in a dog fight with Cardiff. With him, they will probably survive another year.

fulham look a close 2nd
southampton/cardiff/burnley for the remaining spot
always next year for the nigels, there fans will get brave and start demanding they want a top 10 finish and hopefully this will be there downfall
Shame the Bermondsey brain donors got a point... a Sarf East London trifecta has been a rarity!
One good thing though is usually when they go 1-0 up they often hold onto the lead and win 1-0 except two weeks running they've gone and blown it.
