Mar 2 Aston Villa (A) L 0-1
Mar 8 Stoke (H) W 1-0
Mar 15 Southampton (A) L 1-2
Mar 22 Sunderland (H) D 1-1

May 3 Chelsea (A) L 0-4
May 11 Arsenal (H) L 1-2
Points picked up: 10
City's final tally: 35 – DOWN
Will City survive, how and why? Steve says: Our slim survival hopes rest upon Crystal Palace, Cardiff, West Brom and Fulham having even worse run-ins than us – and that's asking a lot. I don't think 35 points will be quite enough to finish fourth bottom this year. We need another win from somewhere, and our only hope is we suddenly find a way of putting away our chances.
