Sunderland, Hull City, Crystal Palace, Swansea City, Middlesbrough and Leicester City are all in danger of getting relegated to the Championship.
Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier predicted on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News HQ on Saturday afternoon (broadcast from 12pm, January 28) the three teams who will get relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season.
Sunderland, Hull City and Crystal Palace are the three teams in the Premier League relegation zone at the moment.
Swansea City, Middlesbrough and Leicester City, who won the league title last season, are also in the mix.
Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea could have signed Stefan de Vrij for just £6m
The Black Cats are at the bottom of the Premier League table at the moment with 15 points from 22 matches.
Hull are a point above the Black Cats in 19th, level on points with Palace, who are two points worse off Swansea.
Middlesbrough are 16th in the standings, while Leicester are only five points above the bottom three in 15th.
Should Tottenham Hotspur pay the £9m to sign Andriy Yarmolenko?
Former Southampton attacking midfielder Le Tissier has picked his three Premier League teams to end up in the Championship next season.
“Sunderland, Crystal Palace and I will go with Hull,” said Le Tissier on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News HQ on Saturday afternoon (broadcast from 12pm, January 28).
Merson also picked his three teams to go down and said on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News HQ on Saturday afternoon (broadcast from 12pm, January 28): “Sunderland, Hull. I can’t see Palace for the life of me going down so I am going to go with Leicester.”
There is a full programme of Premier League matches on Tuesday and Wednesday, and it will be interesting to see how many of the teams struggling for survival pick up points.
