Battle for Survival, who will stay up?

This season has centered around mainly on the title race and the fact that it is so tight at the top. However, this is also the case at the bottom, with only 3 points separating the bottom eight teams in the Premier League making it possibly the tightest Relegation battle in years. Pre-season favorites for the drop Blackpool currently 15th in the table, know how to grind out results at crucial times, but have they come to a shuddering halt as regards getting points is concerned? Birmingham City won the Carling Cup lately, but did they focus too much on that competition this season even though they won it? I definitely know for a fact that Alex Mcleish would rather Premier League survival if given the option.
