The Premier League season is building towards a thrilling crescendo as the two leading protagonists hit their stride with the finish line hurtling into view.
However, gluts of good form are not reserved for the Premier League’s elite. While the title race naturally catches the eye, the relegation dogfight includes as many as nine clubs chiefly because sides at the foot of the table have scrambled some points together.
Here’s how the form of each team is shaping up as we enter the final quarter of an enthralling season.
