As wide as ever, the three promoted sides from last season will be relegated, with Southampton possibly achieving the lowest points total ever. 25 points, or fewer, would likely have been enough to avoid relegation this season. Meanwhile, City, United, Spurs, Chelsea, etc., continue to struggle. It's a fair bet that whoever is promoted this season will also be relegated.
 
This will be the second successive season when the three promoted teams come straight back down. You wouldn’t get great odds on it happening again next season.
 
Not sure if the situation has changed but I read a couple of weeks ago the points tally for bottom three is the record lowest, beating the previous record set the year before. Something has to change.
 
Nobody in the promotion race will survive in the prem next season. Even the fans of those teams admit it even Leeds

Best then they keep falling apart and be the biggest team in Yorkshire 😬

Derby with 16pts was the lowest IIRC
 
Gap is getting bigger yr by yr, same is happening in championships the ones that come down are usually the ones fighting it out to go back up, think Norwich was the last to drastically fail
 
If a promoted team did the double over the other two they'd only need 6 more wins to secure safety.. seens easy enough

Just come across this on BBC Sport web page
 
When we were in the PL I think you had to be aiming for 38/39ptsish for safety...
Aye, I still think you need mid 30s, so the general talk of 25 or below 30 above isn't realistic. We would have stayed up with 36 had we just beaten Southampton in that awful match.
 
It’s changed probably since 2021, when Brentford went up. They’ve looked comfortable in the Prem since. Them and Bournemouth are two decent established premier league teams. I think Leeds might survive if they do go up. Sheff Utd and Burnley will IMHO come straight back down.
