As the 2014-15 Premier League season begins to wind down, it’s officially the business end of the season for a handful of teams near the bottom of the league table.

You’ll quickly notice the absence of any Chelsea, Manchester City or Liverpool players from the top of the table, while four players directly involved in the relegation dogfight make the list, along with another four from mid-table sides aiming to stay clear of the trouble at the bottom.
Thoughts? Questions? Agreements? Disagreements? (Of course not.) Leave them in the comments section, as always.
