Villa (28) - they have a great chance of going down (yes!), don't they? Their coming fixtures:
11 Apr: Spurs (a)
19 Apr: Liverpool (FA Cup)
26 Apr: City (a)
2 May: Everton (h)
9 May: West Ham (h)
16 May: Southampton (a)
24 May: Burnley (h)
Burnley (26) play a couple of the same opponents (Everton, West Ham) and have Arsenal instead of Spurs/City.
QPR (26) have Chelsea, West Ham, Liverpool and City to come in their next 4 games - they'll most likely kiss Premier League footie good bye at the end of that run.
Hull (29) are another potential team to go down, with Southampton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Man Utd still on their fixtures list.
Sunderland (29) have Southampton, Arsenal and Chelsea.
While Leicester are bottom right now with 22 points, they've played 2 fewer games than Villa and QPR, and a game fewer than Burnley, Hull and Sunderland. I think they have the best schedule of all, getting just Chelsea and Southampton (both at home) in their run in. They play fellow relegation strugglers Burnley, Sunderland and QPR in 3 of their last 8 games. If they can get good results in those three big games, they might actually survive.
I was under the impression that Leicester were doomed, but looking at some of the fixtures above, I'm starting to have second thoughts - I think Leicester could survive, and QPR, Hull and Villa will go down.
