let's say we need 38 points to stay up, we need another 21. April's games - I don't see any wins in that lot, 2 points max (and I think that's optimistic TBH).
Let's also assume we win our last 2 home games against Ipswich and Leicester and lose the aways against Fulham and Newcastle. 8 points, we need another 13 by the end of March. My predictions are
Spurs (H) - 1
Brighton (A) - 0
Leicester (H) - 3
Liverpool (H) - 0
Palace (A) - 0
Man Utd (H) - 0
Brentford (A) - 1
Wolves (A) - 1
West Ham (H) - 3
34 points. Hard to see any scenario where we don't go into the last couple of games still fighting for survival. We'll need a bit of luck and favours from others.

In April!
We seriously need to create a large buffer from the bottom three. Previous Message
Leicester home on 1st Feb we have to be odds on for 3 points, then we're really going to have to put some kind of run together and you'd think have a decent buffer from the bottom 3 before April's fixtures which are about as tough a set of games as you could get in one month :
Liverpool (A), Arsenal (H), Forest (A), City (H), Chelsea (A)
Massive couple of months coming up. Previous Message
……and try and develop a bit of daylight between us and those below. And in doing so try and draw in one or two above us.
I know there’s lots of points to play for but if feels like a big few games coming up as if we don’t pick up points we’re likely to drop in the bottom 3 and I fear for this group if we are looking up and trying chasing. Previous Message
We’ve actually improved our goal difference over the others.
