Premier League: 5 talking points ahead of this gameweek

#4 Relegation battle continues

Carlos Carvalhal faces the tough task of keeping Swansea City up

With just two points separating the 13th and the 18th placed teams on the league table, it's fair to say that this season's relegation battle has more than a few unlucky customers. It also means that all eight teams remain under pressure to get the best results to remain in a position of safety.

Swansea City and West Bromwich Albion will undoubtedly feel the pressure as they occupy the 20th and the 19th place respectively and require at least two wins and favourable results to escape the danger zone.

Swansea and West Brom face Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon, respectively, with only 3 points on their minds. Meanwhile, the teams above them will know that the only way to avoid being dragged into the red-zone is to achieve a victory.
