Tenancy renewal - negotiating rent

My partner and I have just had our tenancy renewal letter. Our current tenancy expires on 28th February. We have paid our rent on time every month over the last four months.
Are we in a strong position to negotiate cheaper rent for the next six months?
What sort of points should I put across to the letting agents to help get a bit of discount?
When's the best time to discuss renewal with them? ASAP or near to the current expiry date?

Check out local rents for similar properties. Are you paying more or less than the average? Could the landlord easily find a new tenant at the same, or higher, rent? Could YOU easily find a similar rental at the same or lower rent?
If/when discussing with the LL, have appropriate adverts to hand as examples.
