Southampton picked up a vital win in the league game before last, beating Ipswich Town 2-1 away from home. However, they remain cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League table with only nine points to their name after a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth at the weekend. The Saints will almost certainly be in the Championship next season.
Hardly anything has gone well this term. The Saints have struggled at both ends of the field, and neither Russell Martin nor Ivan Juric has been able to pull them clear of danger. Southampton are strong favorites for the drop.

Leicester City replaced Steve Cooper with Ruud van Nistelrooy at the start of December. The Dutchman won his first game in charge, but Leicester have since lost nine of their last 10 Premier League matches.
A 2-0 defeat by Arsenal was hardly a disastrous result given the quality of the opposition, but Leicester are not firing on any cylinders at the moment. They seem to have gotten worse under Van Nistelrooy, who must be feeling the pressure. Relegation to the Championship would potentially land the Foxes in trouble with the authorities due to financial issues.

A recent 2-1 loss to Southampton was a major blow to Ipswich Town, who are up against it in their bid to survive. Kieran McKenna’s men have been the most competitive member of the promoted trio all things considered, yet they are still in the bottom three despite a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Tractor Boys do not have a great deal of Premier League experience in their ranks, while they are too open defensively. McKenna has his work cut out to keep the club in the top flight of English soccer, with Ipswich third-favorites for the drop.

A 2-1 defeat by Liverpool on Sunday means Wolves are outside the bottom three by a mere two-point margin. Vitor Pereira was understandably pleased with his team’s spirited showing at Anfield, but Wolves need to get some more points on the board as soon as possible.
The sportsbooks still expect Wolves to survive at the expense of the promoted trio, but things are too close for comfort right now. Pereira’s men have some winnable games coming up in what could be a make-or-break period in their campaign. Wolves have the quality to survive, but that alone is seldom enough.

The Premier League is played on a double round-robin basis. Each team in the division plays every other side home and away, giving a total of 38 matches.
Three points are awarded for every win and one point for every tie. At the end of the campaign, the three sides with the fewest points are relegated.
As a result of this format, there is no fixed date when Premier League relegation is announced – that moment is simply confirmed when it is no longer mathematically possible for a team to finish 17th or higher.
The earliest confirmation of relegation from the Premier League came when Derby County’s fate was sealed on 29 March 2008.
Relegation ends a club’s participation in the Premier League. A team that is relegated will spend the following season in the Championship, the second tier of English soccer.
Relegation is an important part of the English soccer system, which makes it a key point of difference with MLS in the United States.
It is seen as essential to sporting integrity within the English soccer pyramid, and the vast majority of supporters of Premier League clubs would oppose the removal of relegation, even if it benefited their team.
The presence of relegation also makes the Premier League more entertaining. Because the division lacks a play-off system, the majority of clubs would have nothing to fight for if the threat of demotion was abolished. Relegation battles are sometimes even more dramatic and engaging than title races.
Club | Number of Relegations |
---|---|
Norwich City | 6 |
West Bromwich Albion | 5 |
Crystal Palace | 4 |
Sunderland | 4 |
Middlesbrough | 4 |
Watford | 4 |
Leicester City | 4 |
Birmingham City | 3 |
Burnley | 3 |
Bolton Wanderers | 3 |
Queens Park Rangers | 3 |
Sheffield United | 3 |
Nottingham Forest | 3 |
Hull City | 3 |
