Premier League predictions computer forecasts how relegation battle will unfold for Leeds United, Everton, West Ham, Wolves and Nottingham Forest

The Premier League relegation battle remains in the balance with just two points separating the bottom seven in the top flight.

Southampton sit bottom of the table on goal difference, level on points with Everton in 19th and West Ham in 18th. The Saints inflicted more misery on the Toffees with a 2-1 win at Goodison Park on Saturday.

James Ward-Prowse scored twice in the second half to cancel out Amadou Onana’s opener as home fans expressed anger at the board with various chants and banners calling for their departure. Board members did not hear the chants in person as they had been ordered to stay away from the stadium due to a security risk.
