"In both 2023/24 and 2024/25, the three clubs promoted from the Championship have gone straight back down without ever really looking like they would survive."
"Six points separate 15th-place Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur, in 18th, with the North London club on 30 points with six games of the season remaining."
"The dubious 'honour' goes to West Ham United, who went down in 2002/03 with 42 points - the highest total for a relegated side in Premier League history."
"Although 40 points is often cited as the number that will guarantee safety, two other teams have been relegated despite reaching that tally."
In the past two seasons, promoted teams have quickly been relegated, with Luton Town and Leicester City finishing with only 26 and 25 points. This season, however, four teams are in contention to avoid relegation, with Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur separated by just six points. The team finishing 18th is likely to have a higher points total than in previous seasons, but not surpass West Ham United's record of 42 points from 2002/03, when they were relegated despite a late-season surge.
