They're looking in pretty good shape now to be honest, they seem to have cracked it and with Benteke they have a player good enough to keep them up virtually by himself, even if the teams form did collapse again. But 3 wins in the last 4 suggests they've found form at the right time.
I'd be very surprised if one of Stoke, Sunderland, and Wigan didn't do worse than them. Sunderland probably most likely.
