13. SOUTHAMPTON
The Saints are five points above Albion and seven above the bottom three. Ralph Hasenhuttl will not have received his survival bonus just yet...but he's probably planning how to spend it. Relegation odds of 33/1. Photo: Jordan Mansfield
14. NEWCASTLE UNITED
Steve Bruce's men are eight points clear of the drop zone. Takeover issues could prove a distraction but they should be safe. 20/1 to be relegated. Photo: Alex Livesey
15. BRIGHTON
Graham Potter's men are two points above the drop zone. They remain without a win in 2020 but showed fighting spirit to record away draws at West Ham, Sheffield Utd and Wolves. 11/4 to go down. Photo: Mike Hewitt
16. WATFORD
Improved greatly following the arrival of Nigel Pearson and the bookies have backed them to avoid the drop with odds of 9/4 to go down. Photo: Alex Broadway
