Thierry Henry and Jamie Redknapp discuss the Premier League relegation battle and predict a fight to the finish for Norwich, Newcastle and Sunderland.
The two sides from the north east drew their respective games this weekend, with the Magpies coming from behind to draw 2-2 with Liverpool and the Black Cats holding Arsenal to a stalemate on Super Sunday.
Norwich were not in action this weekend but did drop into the bottom three after Sunderland's result, both sides holding a game in hand over Newcastle.
With just one point separating the three clubs, the Sky Sports pundits were unable to choose between the sides with Redknapp calling the relegation fight a "lottery".
"It's very difficult. I think if you'd said to Alex Neil at the start of the weekend that neither Newcastle nor Sunderland would win, I think he'd have taken that," Redknapp said on Super Sunday.
"He'll be looking at those fixtures and thinking, 'Watford at home, Everton away - if we can go and get four points, maybe we've got a good chance.'
"It's not been too bad a weekend for Norwich. They've got Arsenal next - it's not an easy game but if they defend well, you never know. It's a lottery, it's a toss of the coin, it really is.
"Crystal Palace now have an FA Cup final to look forward to. Newcastle are also playing against an Aston Villa side that are down and have given up.
"They'll also be hoping Tottenham have nothing to play for - it could be a bit after-the-Lord-Mayor's-Show, that game. Newcastle have it all to do but I've been down in that position - you try to predict results and the one you expect to win, you don't."
Henry identified the recent run of Sunderland and Newcastle as crucial for their survival, and also pointed to what he sees as a big advantage for Sam Allardyce's men.
"It's a tough one. The only thing I'd say is that momentum is with Sunderland and Newcastle with their results," the former Arsenal striker added.
"You could say that Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are 'easier' games for Newcastle - they've less to play for than some of the other opponents."
"But you have to mention the goal difference of Sunderland - it's minus 18 compared to the other two (seven better than Norwich, eight better than Newcastle). That could be massive."
