Can Paul Clement keeps Swans afloat this season?

Swansea City were the big winners in the fight for Premier League survival at the weekend as Paul Clement secured his first win as Swans boss.

Swansea's shock 3-2 away win against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday secured Paul Clement his first league win and saw his side move out of the relegation zone.

The win was even more important for the Swans given their relegation rivals all lost and they have now shortened to 4/5 with SkyBet to stay up.

Despite Sam Allardyce still looking for his first win as Crystal Palace boss, the Eagles are 8/13 to stay up. But it is a desperate time for Palace who appear in free fall and have lost 14 of their last 20 home games.

Another team struggling for form are Leicester City, who are just five points above the drop zone, and have failed to win in the league this year.

Claudio Ranieri's side have shortened to 8/1 in places to be relegated following their 3-0 thumping at Southampton. It is testing times for the Foxes and the thought of Ranieri losing his job is not such a ridiculous concept to some. On Sunday evening he had shortened to 15/2 with PadyPower to be the next manager to leave.

Sunderland and Hull are the teams expected to struggle the most to beat the drop with the Black Cats already looking as if they are beaten. David Moyes' side are 9/2 outsiders to remain a Premier League club next season.

Marco Silva got off to a great start as Hull boss with a win at the first time of asking in the league. But their 2-0 defeat to league leaders Chelsea on Sunday has stalled their survival bid. They are considered a 10/3 chance to stay up.

With nine points separating bottom placed Sunderland and 14th placed Watford there is still plenty of time for teams to be drawn into the fight. One of those teams the bookies are expecting to get pulled into that battle is Burnley. The Clarets are a shorter price, at 7/1, to go down than Leicester and Watford are despite being higher in the league than both of them.
