When the three new teams to the Premier League were relegated next to the next season – what had never happened before, the question was whether Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland could break this trend?
During the 2023/24 season, Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United all drop after just one year of playing in the Premier League. This is the second time in the history of 3 new teams to relegate immediately, and the first time since the 1997/98 season.
However, in the 2024/25 season, the script repeated with Leicester, Ipswich Town and Southampton also only had a season. Is this a sign that the distance between the Premier League and the Championship is expanding? Or is it just a coincidence?
The drop in season 2024/25 is even more worried because the difference is too large. Southampton is only the least record in the history (11 points of the 2007/08 Derby), and at the same time, set the record of the earliest relegation team (before 7 rounds). Leicester only has 25 points, the lowest with a team ranked 18th in the season of 38 rounds, inferior to Tottenham at 17 to 13 points.
However, do not forget that only 3 seasons ago, all 3 teams up (2022/23) were relegated. Fulham even entered the top 10. Previously, Brentford first season (2021/22) also stays firmly with position 13. Obviously, if passing the first season, the ability to stay back.
