Swansea boss Paul Clement believes the Premier League relegation battle could end up involving nine teams.
Clement takes Swansea to Hull on Saturday with a five-point buffer to the relegation zone, and a six point lead over the 19th-placed Tigers.
Swansea have won five of Clement's eight games since he was appointed at the start of January, and another victory at the KCOM Stadium would take them to the 30-point mark.
"It is still very close and those gaps can change at any time, both for you and against you," Clement said.
"Our focus is very much game to game, we had a very important victory against Burnley last weekend after losing at Chelsea.
"After every game we've lost, we've responded very well the following week by backing that up with a win.
"Going into this game we know it is very important for both teams. We've got a slight advantage on Hull, but not much."
Swansea are in 16th place going into the weekend's fixture, below Leicester and Bournemouth on goal-difference, while Burnley and Watford are four points above the trio on 31.
"When I came here in January there were four teams in it at the bottom, now it is seven," Clement added.
"But it could become four teams again, and it could quite easily become nine."
Asked if Swansea's revival had raised prospects of a top-half finish - they are currently six points adrift of 10th-placed Southampton - Clement said: "The target is to finish 17th or above, no more than that.
"My thinking is 99 per cent on this season, one per cent on next season.
"We are getting plans in place for pre-season and having conversations about recruitment, what we might want to do in the future.
"But my focus is on our performances and what points we need [for survival]. I do look, but I'm not sure. What I do know is we have to do our best against every single opponent.
"That's the strategy we'll continue to use up until the last game of the season."
