Southampton collapsed on the trip to Tottenham. After 31 matches, the team led by Ivan Juric has only won 10 points. Southampton is 22 points behind the 17th-placed Wolves. With only 7 matches left, Southampton is certain to be relegated.
Southampton rewrote history by becoming the earliest team to be relegated from the Premier League, when measured by number of rounds. Previously, Derby County and Huddersfield Town held the record for the earliest relegation after 32 rounds.
Derby County only won 11 points in the Premier League in 2007/08. That is the worst achievement of any club. With Southampton's current form, coach Juric's team is still at risk of not winning any more points and breaking another unwanted record.
Southampton are one of three teams to be promoted to the Premier League in 2024/25. Late last year, the club fired manager Russell Martin after a series of poor results. Mr. Juric, who was recently fired by Roma, was appointed by Southampton to take the "hot seat".
Before the 2024/25 Premier League started, Southampton was placed in the highest risk group of relegation. The reason is that Southampton's squad is not very good and lacks depth. In fact, after 31 rounds, except for Tyler Dibling, the rest of Southampton have played disappointingly.
After Southampton, Leicester is the next team at risk of receiving a "death sentence". Coach Ruud van Nistelrooy and his team have 17 points after 30 matches, ranking second to last in the rankings. Above Leicester is Ipswich Town with 20 points. With Wolves having 32 points, both Ipswich Town and Leicester have little chance of turning the tables.
