Who will survive in Championship relegation battle?

How has it come to this?

Argyle only avoided relegation back to League One in their first season back at this level thanks to a final-day win last May.

It was something of a surprise then when they turned to England and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney in the summer, given his struggles in this division with Birmingham City.

Things started terribly with a 4-0 thrashing at Sheffield Wednesday on the opening day but a dramatic 3-2 win over promotion-chasing Sunderland on 14 September got them up and running.

They struggled badly away from Home Park though, including a 5-0 loss at fellow strugglers Cardiff and a 6-1 demolition at Norwich, and Rooney left by mutual consent on 31 December with the Pilgrims bottom.

Former Cercle Brugge boss Miron Muslic arrived in January and oversaw their first win in 16 league games with a 2-1 victory over West Brom.

A famous FA Cup success over Premier League leaders Liverpool boosted hopes and morale further but a run of five matches without victory left things looking bleak.

However, Saturday’s 2-1 comeback at home to promotion-chasing Sheffield United was a third win in six and they are once again in contention.

What’s left?

Friday, 18 April – Middlesbrough (Away)

Monday, 21 April – Coventry City (Home)

Saturday, 26 April – Preston (A)

Saturday, 3 May – Leeds United (H)
