Which Teams Are Facing Relegation?

The Premier League has not had an exciting relegation battle in the past two years, as all promoted teams went straight back to the Championship.

However, this season presents a tight competition among several clubs at the bottom of the table. We examine each team involved to predict who will survive and who might face relegation.

The Relegation Battle: Which Premier League teams will go down?

15th: Leeds United (31 points)

Leeds are just above the relegation zone, sitting six points clear. A strong mid-season performance has boosted their position, but they likely need three more wins to secure safety. Their upcoming matches look manageable after facing Manchester City this weekend, and they will compete against other relegation contenders in the final month, except for Nottingham Forest.

16th: Spurs (29 points)

The idea that Tottenham Hotspur are ‘too big to go down’ was challenged last weekend. Their loss to Arsenal was concerning due to the lackluster performance. Despite having the strongest squad among the bottom six, they have not won a Premier League match in 2026. Their next games against Fulham and Crystal Palace seem winnable, but losing both wouldn’t be unexpected. Igor Tudor has come on board, but he faces a significant challenge.

17th: Nottingham Forest (27 points)

Forest has switched head coaches four times this season, which raises alarm bells. Vitor Pereira previously saved Wolves from relegation; can he do it again? The team has potential and almost earned a point against Liverpool recently, but their upcoming fixtures against strong teams like City and Manchester United could be tough. A crucial match next month against Tottenham may determine their fate.

18th: West Ham United (25 points)

This season has been tough for West Ham fans, but recent performances offer some hope. They’ve only lost once in their last six league matches, earning important victories over Spurs and Burnley. Their remaining schedule is mixed; they still face tough opponents like Liverpool and Arsenal but also meet teams like Fulham and Everton, which could help their cause. The mood at the London Stadium is improving, but time may be running out.

19th: Burnley (19 points)

This season has been challenging for Burnley, but they continue to fight for survival. They’ve recently secured points against top teams like United and Liverpool, and their comeback victory over Palace shows their resilience. However, with difficult matches ahead, including games against Forest and Leeds, the points gap remains a concern.

A tough year for Wolves is likely to end in relegation, with the aim now just to avoid breaking the record for the fewest points in a season.

Verdict: Wolves, Burnley, and West Ham to be relegated.
