Identify the second club to ‘pack out’ from the Premier League
On the night of May 11, Burnley lost 1-2 to Tottenham, officially having to play in the Championship next season.
On the away field, Burnley entered the game quite determinedly and opened the scoring in the 25th minute, thanks to Bruun Larsen. However, Tottenham proved their position as the superior team by scoring 2 goals to win 2-1.
This result causes Burnley to follow Sheffield in being relegated next season. At this time, coach Vincent Kompany and his team are ranked 19th with 24 points, 5 points behind Nottingham’s safe position with only one match left.
Burnley was the First Division champion last season but showed too much instability when promoted to the Premier League. The home team at Turf Moor conceded the third most goals in the Premier League (76 goals), only behind Sheffield (101 goals) and Luton (81 goals). Meanwhile, the attack also played very poorly, scoring only 40 goals, the second lowest number from the bottom, just higher than Sheffield (35 goals).
Burnley will have to start over in the Championship next season. This is the second time they have been relegated in just the last 3 seasons. Coach Kompany is still trusted by the board of directors despite not having a good record.
The 2023/24 Premier League relegation race is 99% over. The third team to play in the Championship next season will almost certainly be Luton. The 1-3 loss to West Ham left the Kenilworth Road team’s chance to stay in the Premier League only in theory.
After 37 matches played, they are 3 points behind Nottingham (36 matches played). Luton has a difference of -31, while Nottingham has a difference of -18. Nottingham only needs to win 1 more point this weekend against Chelsea or lose not too heavily in the remaining 2 matches to successfully stay relegated.
If Nottingham loses the last 2 matches with not too large scores (0-1, 0-2, 0-3), Luton must also win against Fulham with a huge difference (4, 5 goals, even 9-10 goals). ) can escape the group of 3 relegated teams.
Up to now, fans have identified two First Division clubs to play in the Premier League next season, which are Leicester and Ipswich. The final representative will be determined after the play-off series between Leeds vs Norwich and Southampton vs West Brom.
