Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce is convinced no less than 14 clubs are in the Premiership relegation mix.
"I consider anyone from us down could be in trouble," said Bruce. "Even Everton's David Moyes told me he's looking over his shoulder.
"It's that tight when the teams at the bottom, West Bromwich and Blackburn Rovers, have 18 points going into the new year.
"Last season, we had nine and still survived. For a club like Wigan, it is fantastic that so many teams are in the mix.
"The more in it, the better. Usually, there are six of us fighting relegation.
"This time there could be 14 clubs involved, so there is all to play for."
