Saintswatch - 3 to go

Saints 0 West Brom 3

Very disappointing performance ends a six-match unbeaten run.

With Villa thrashing Sunderland, it's starting to look a little more uncomfortable at the bottom.

18 Wigan on 32 points - have West Brom (a), Swansea (h), [Man City in the FA Cup Final], Arsenal (a) and Villa (h). Prediction W W L D 39 Pts

17 Newcastle on 37 - have West Ham (a), QPR (a) and Arsenal (h). Prediction D W D 42 Pts

16 Villa on 37 - have Norwich (a), Chelsea (h) and Wigan (a). Prediction D L D 39 Pts

15 Sunderland on 37 - have Stoke (h), Southampton (h), Spurs (a). Prediction W D L 41 Pts

14 Norwich on 38 - have Villa (h), West Brom (h), Man C (a). Prediction D D L 40 Pts

13 Saints on 39 - have Spurs (a), Sunderland (a), Stoke (h). Prediction L D W 43 Pts

This would put Villa and Wigan on 39 Pts with possibly Wigan surviving on goal difference. Then would come Norwich, Sunderland, Newcastle and Saints.

Saintswatch - 4 to go

Saints 1 (Ramirez) West Ham 1
Swansea 0 Saints 0

Two draws see Saints inch towards Premier League safety. A win at home to West Brom next Saturday should be enough.

QPR and Reading look doomed and a Villa win at Old Trafford on Monday would relegate both.

Saintswatch - 6 to go

Reading 0 Saints 2 (Rodriguez, Lallana)

Saints live a little dangerously in the first half hour before taking control and are now surely safe with six teams between them and relegation.

Having redone the BBC predictor, I now have Wigan rather than Villa going down. Have us in 10th a full 12 points clear (still predicted 1 win, 1 loss and the rest draws)
