Although I'm not a big fan of football, I was looking at the table earlier on this evening and I'd say that it's simply too tough to call. The remaining fixtures are as follows:
Leeds: Arsenal (A), Chelsea (H), Brighton (H), Brentford (A)
[The first three are against teams near to the top of the table. Brentford are mid-table but they've won three of their last four fixtures and drawn the remaining one, so they won't be easy to beat either]
Burnley: Aston Villa (H), Tottenham (A), Aston Villa (A), Newcastle (A)
[Those fixtures look far easier in general than those faced by Leeds]
Everton: Chelsea (H), Leicester City (H), Watford (A), Brentford (H), Crystal Palace (H), Arsenal (A)
[Three of those fixtures look as if they might yield some points (Watford, Brentford & Crystal Palace) but, as they're starting from 5 points adrift of both Leeds and Burnley, that might not be enough).
Of the three, I'd say that Burnley are the best-placed to stay up but it's 'toss a coin' time when trying to separate Leeds and Everton.
Who would I like to see go down? Well, I lived in Sheffield for 20 years. The one thing that Owls and Blades fans can agree on is "We all hate Leeds!". So I won't be crying if they go down ;-)
