Javi Gracia’s side were still as big 5-2 to be relegated with the bookmakers as they approached Saturday’s lunchtime showdown at Craven Cottage, ahead of which they were fifth favourites to go down.

Bottom of the table Southampton remain long odds on to be relegated at 1-8 despite Friday night’s 3-3 draw at Arsenal and Nottingham Forest are also predicted to go down with Steve Cooper’s side second favourites at 1-4.
