With around half the division in danger of falling into the Championship, we analyse which clubs have the most to fear West Brom look to be a write-off even though their fixture list seems relatively favourable. Their form is deteriorating rather than improving, and the injury to Daniel Sturridge is an unfortunate, if foreseeable, blow. Stoke, by contrast, are improving, seemingly energised by Paul Lambert, some astute January signings and an in-form Xherdan Shaqiri. The fear…

Crystal Palace had given everything in their demented pursuit of an equaliser in the second half.
