QPR 16pts - 20th

Relegation odds: 1/2 Coral
Staying up odds: 9/5 Ladbrokes
Form: DDDDWL

Verdict: Have tightened up the defence a treat, making the Hoops tough to beat. But what they need are wins not draws as they continue to play catch-up. Loic Remy and a successful return for Bobby Zamora are key.

Aston Villa 21pts - 19th

Relegation odds: 4/6 Bet365
Staying up odds: 7/5 Ladbrokes
Form: DLDLDL

Verdict: No wins in eight with comfortably the worse goal difference (-26) down there - things look bleak. However, Benteke offers hope as does a much improved performance against Everton.

Wigan 21pts - 18th

Relegation odds: 11/10 StanJames
Staying up odds: Evens Ladbrokes
Form: DDLDLW

Verdict: Interesting that the bookies still consider them more likely to survive than perish. That’s testament to Roberto Martinez’s history of pulling off great escapes at the DW but the Latics lack quality.

Reading 23pts - 17th

Relegation odds: 3/4 Ladbrokes
Staying up odds: 5/4 Skybet
Form: WDWWLW

Verdict: On a sensational run having taken 13 points from a possible 18 - that’s Champions League form. Much will depend on the never-say-die attitude of the Royals. Clearly the bookies don’t see it lasting though.

Southampton 24pts - 16th

Relegation odds: 11/5 Boylesports
Staying up odds: 2/5 Skybet
Form: DLDDWD

Verdict: Their last victory came under Nigel Atkins who was then swiftly sacked after drawing 2-2 at Chelsea. Puzzling in the extreme. Performances have remained encouraging under Mauricio Pochettino but the longer he goes without a win, the tougher it will get.
