Experts say 40 points usually guarantee's survival in the PL. However I recalled West Ham getting relegated on 42 points so done a research and came up with this interesting article:
http://www.skysports.com/football/n...ation-battle-do-you-need-40-points-to-stay-up
In summary:
- The average number of points to survive since 95/96 season is 37 Points
- Only 3 teams have finished in the bottom 3 with 40 points or more (Sunderland (40), Bolton (40) and West Ham (42))
- West Ham's 42 points is the most points gained whilst getting relegated
- Derby County's 11 Points is the Lowest points gained (Which we have already surpassed, UTA!)
Based on how tight this season is going, especially in the bottom half I would think the average of 37 points could be enough? Thoughts?
