Predicting how the final table will look is an unenviable task, with so many possible twists and turns still on the horizon.
Here's a look at the results of BBC Sport's fan prediction poll on how the Premier League table will look at the end of the season, and where Brighton & Hove Albion rank among their divisional rivals:
17. 17th - Fulham
Fulham have been on a sensational run of late, with Scott Parker's charismatic persona driving the Cottagers towards safety. They've been backed to avoid relegation - an outcome that would have been unthinkable a few months ago. Photo: CLIVE BRUNSKILL
18. 18th - Newcastle United
A bold, bold call from the supporters here. Yes, the poll has predicted that Newcastle United will be going down this season, in what would be a devastating blow to the Magpies' long-term ambitions. Photo: Michael Steele
19. 19th - West Bromwich Albion
Big Sam Allardyce's record of never being relegated is the proudest of his 30-year managerial career, but that could finally come to an end this season. They're currently eight points from safety. Photo: MICHAEL STEELE
20. 20th - Sheffield United
No surprises here, then. The Blades have endured a brutal, injury-hit sophomore season in the top tier following their sensation return last year, and look destined for the drop unless the miracle of all miracles can be conjured up. Photo: LEE SMITH
