Four clubs into one will not go - and they are all determined not to be "the one". While Wolves and Burnley are off the pace and almost certain to be playing in the Championship next season, the four-way battle to avoid joining them in the second tier is too close to call. This weekend's round of fixtures changed little, as all four sides drew their respective fixtures, but some will take far more belief and confidence from their results than others. Currently, it is West Ham United who occupy the unwanted 18th position, although only goal difference separates the Hammers and Nottingham Forest, who both have 29 points after 30 matches. Tottenham Hotspur scored late in a dramatic 1-1 draw at Liverpool to remain a point above the safety line on 30 points, while Leeds United are 15th on 32 points but by no means out of trouble.
