5. 2011 – Who will it be?
The was the tightest relegation battle in Premier League history, as five teams were all in the frame to go down on the final day of the season. The title had already been decided, so all attention was turned to the bottom end of the table as Blackburn, Wolves, Birmingham, Blackpool and Wigan all fought to avoid joining the already-down West Ham in the Championship. The relegation picture changed continuously over the course of a tense afternoon with the teams in danger all battling it out. In the end Blackpool and Birmingham both fell just a point short of survival after suffering defeats to Manchester United and Tottenham respectively, while Wolves narrowly avoided the drop despite defeat against Blackburn and Wigan beat Stoke to keep their heads above water.
