Southampton's historic relegation a warning
Cape Argus
|April 09, 2025
WITH Southampton becoming the first team in history to be relegated from the English Premier League with seven matches to go, the spotlight has shifted to promoted teams' struggle to survive in the elite league.
Fellow promoted sides Leicester and Ipswich look set to follow suit, with a quick return to the Championship.
Leicester's Foxes set an unwanted record of their own with Monday night's loss to Newcastle. They have gone eight home league games in a row without scoring a goal.
Ipswich are closest to survival of the bottom three, but are a whopping 12 points adrift of Wolves with seven games to go in the season.
The promoted trio's relegation struggles are a worrying repeat of last season, when Luton Town, Burnley, and Sheffield United also lasted just one campaign in the top flight.
It would mark the first time in history that every newly promoted side is relegated in consecutive seasons.
Does it spell a widening of the chasm between the elite league and the level below?
Physicality
Sacked Southampton manager Ivan Juric pointed to a gap in physicality between the Premier League and the second tier.
