The Relegation Battle is tight in the Premier League and 4 teams are truly in the thick of it, these teams are Sheffield United, West Brom, Fulham and Burnley.
Can these teams save their season, is a signing or two enough and do the managers have what it takes to motivate their players?
Will Sheffield United avoid the lowest points record, Can Big Sam do it again with West Brom and does Burnley's takeover mean Sean Dyche is short on time. The lads will discuss all in this episode and suggest how they can survive.
