Which Premier League clubs have the hardest run-ins? How Brighton, Fulham and Crystal Palace compare in relegation dogfight

Brighton and Hove Albion have 12 games to accumulate enough points and retain their Premier League status – but how does their run-in compare to their relegation rivals?

With a dozen games left to play, Graham Potter’s men sit nervously in the relegation picture with 26 points from their 26 games so far.

Just three points separate the Seagulls in 16th and Fulham, managed by Scott Parker, in 18th, who are unbeaten in five matches.

The Cottagers' upturn in form has made things very interesting. Indeed, West Brom are also showing signs of a possible revival.

All eyes are on each relegation-threatened club’s remaining fixtures – which includes Crystal Palace, Southampton, Burnley, Brighton, Newcastle, Fulham, West Brom and Sheffield United.

So, who has the hardest run-in on paper? We’ve worked out the average league position of Albion and their rivals’ remaining opponents – and it’s to say, there isn’t much in it at all.
