The upturn in form at Watford and Southampton has blown the Premier League relegation battle wide open. They have won more points in five games under Pearson than they did in the 16 games before he arrived. Not every club in the bottom half is in trouble, but some established Premier League sides should be worried. As things stand, Burnley will be the underdogs in their next five league matches. Finding the net has been a big problem of late, with Burnley scoring just four goals in their last eight league games.
