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 Sheffield United 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
