Former Liverpool and Nottingham Forest striker Stan Collymore has suggested on social networking site Twitter that Sunderland and Middlesbrough will get relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season.

Sunderland are currently at the bottom of the league table with 20 points from 30 matches, while Both are three points above them in 19th.

Collymore has also suggested on Twitter that West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Hull City and Swansea City are also in danger of going down to the Championship at the end of the season.

Sunderland do look set for relegation to the Championship at the end of the season, while things do not appear to be working for Middlesbrough at the moment.

Swansea’s recent form has not been great, Paul Clement is a good manager who could guide the Welsh club to safety.

Hull are doing extremely well, and one should not be surprised if they manage to escape the dreaded drop.

With Sam Allardyce in charge, London club Palace should be confident of retaining their Premier League status for next season, but five successive league defeats for West Ham mean that they are in danger of playing Championship football during the 2017-18 campaign.
