All three promoted clubs to go down? The stats around relegation

To avoid relegation in the Premier League, teams like Burnley, Leeds, and Sunderland should aim to reach 40 points, a traditional benchmark for survival. However, recent analysis suggests that the average points total for 18th-placed teams over the past decade has been 32, indicating a lower threshold may be sufficient. Despite historical instances of teams dropping with 40 points, data shows that staying above 27-32 points is generally safer in the modern era of the league.
