To state the obvious, not losing against Sunderland is critical

Even if we only draw against them it helps massively and we'll need fewer points overall to stay up.

It's hard to put a firm number on it, but the key games are Sunderland, Palace, Watford. Seven from those and we'll definitely stay up (I reckon). Even five might be enough though, or six as long as the loss isn't against Sunderland, especially if we spawn a point out of one of Arsenal, ManU or Everton, which we are certainly capable of.
