Three teams, one match to avoid drop — who needs what? (2023)

FAQs

What happens if 4 players are sent off? ›

When a team has fewer than seven players, the match cannot start or continue. When the number of players in a team falls definitely below seven (e.g. by five players sent off with red cards, or by injured players with no substitutions left, or a combination of both), the match is forfeited.

During the season, teams that are high enough in the league table that they would qualify for promotion are sometimes said to be in the promotion zone, and those at the bottom are in the relegation zone or Reg zone (colloquially the drop zone or facing the drop).

In order for a relegated team to be promoted back up into the top flight, that club must either win its division or win its division playoffs. Those are the only two avenues for club promotion.

Rationale. "Three points for a win" is supposed to encourage more attacking play than "two points for a win", as teams will not settle for a draw if the prospect of gaining two extra points (by playing for a late winning goal) outweighs the prospect of losing one point by conceding a late goal to lose the match.

Straight red cards for dissent will result in a two-match ban, while dangerous tackles or violent conduct will result in a three-match ban which can be raised to four or more games in extreme cases.

Playing with two solid banks of four and two up front is a bold decision and puts a lot of pressure on the midfield, which is why the formation is rarely utilised in modern English and world football.

Premier League (level 1, 20 teams): The bottom three teams are relegated. English Football League Championship (level 2, 24 teams): Top two automatically promoted; next four compete in the play-offs, with the winner gaining the third promotion spot. The bottom three are relegated.

The teams who finish in the bottom three of the league table at the end of the campaign, are relegated to the Championship, the second tier of English football.

In the Premier League, three teams are relegated every season. In the Championship, three teams get relegated, and three get promoted every season, with the top two an automatic place and the winner of the third-sixth place playoff, given the third promotion spot.

Everton are one of six English clubs who have never been relegated from the Premier League since its creation in 1992. The others are Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea, so they are part of an elite group.

Has a big club ever been relegated? ›

Newcastle United. Like West Ham, Newcastle were promoted after the first Premier League season and have spent just two years outside of it since. And similar to Villa, Newcastle's decline and relegations can solely be attributed to the reviled ownership of Mike Ashley.

Relegated clubs will receive 55 per cent of the equal share of broadcast revenue paid to Premier League clubs in the first year after relegation, 45 per cent the following year and 20 per cent in year three.

The 3-2-1 points system -- three points for a regulation win, two points for a win and one point for a loss in the shootout or overtime -- is the methodology championed by standings reformers.

Field Goal: 3 points.

The Red Card

For a so-called professional foul, a player will also receive a one-match ban. If the foul in question is dissent, it will normally be a two-match ban. If we are talking about violent conduct, the punishment is normally a three-match ban.

How many yellow cards lead to a suspension? Any player that picks up five yellow cards in the first half - 19 matches - of the Premier League season is suspended for a match.

However, a match must be brought to an end if a team fields less than seven players. This therefore means that a side can receive no more than four red cards, while there can technically be eight red cards in a game (four for each side).

What is a 4-2-3-1? The 4-2-3-1 formation operates with four lines. In defence, there is a back four consisting of two central defenders and two full-backs. Two deeper central midfielders operate ahead of the back line and are often referred to as a double pivot.

What are the benefits of playing with a 4-3-3? The 4-3-3 creates natural triangles, often giving the player in possession several passing options at any given time. This makes implementing a possession-based style of play slightly easier than some other formations.

Perhaps the best way to line up against 4-4-2 is by playing a 4-5-1 shape. This allows you to overrun the opposition midfield, while maintaining plenty of width both for attacking purposes and in order to stop wide midfielders from causing problems via counter-attacks.

Has a top six team ever been relegated? ›

Chelsea were last relegated in the 1987-88 campaign after losing a relegation play-off tie against Middlesborough.

The Bad: Bolton, Barnsley, Crystal Palace 1997-98

The 1997-98 season proved historic, as it was the first time that all three promoted teams ended up being relegated in their first EPL season. Both Bolton and Everton finished the schedule with 40 points.

The mythical 40-point barrier was not enough for West Ham United in 2002/03. The Hammers went down despite accruing 42 points, the highest for a relegated side. Only two other teams have finished in the bottom three with 40 points: Sunderland, in 1996/97, and Bolton Wanderers the following season.

Yes. In fact, since the FA's restructuring and creation of the Premier League in 1992, three campaigns have seen all newly-promoted teams avoid immediate relegation. First in the 2001/02 season, Fulham, Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers all secured a second year in the top flight after being promoted in 2000/01.

The first of these occurred during the 2001/02 season, when Fulham, Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers all survived the dreaded threat of relegation. It also happened exactly 10 years later at the end of the 2011/12 season, when QPR, Norwich City and Swansea all retained their Prem status.

The Premier League teams that finish in the bottom three of the standings each season are relegated to the second tier of English soccer, known as the Championship.

Birmingham City have been promoted to and relegated from the top division more times than any other English club, with 12 promotions and 12 relegations. Birmingham's longest period in one division has been 18 years in the First Division, from 1921 to 1939.

After spending just one season in the Second Division, Manchester United were promoted back to the top flight in 1975 as champions. Manchester United have been relegated on four other occasions prior to the 1970s: 1894, 1922, 1931 and 1937.

What is the earliest a team has been relegated? ›

The earliest a team has been mathematically relegated from EPL is the end of March — Huddersfield Town joining Derby County's abysmal season eleven years ago in 2007/08. Scoring just 11 points in that season, Derby County set the record for the lowest points total and the fewest wins (just 1).

Perhaps surprisingly, at least based on current form, Everton holds the record for most seasons played in the top flight. The 2022/23 season is the 124th official season of league play in English soccer. Everton participated in 120 of those.

The Premier League record for most points won in a 38-game season while still being relegated belongs to West Ham United, who went down with a hefty 42 points in 2002-03.

This relegation gave Blake the unenviable distinction of the player suffering the most Premier League relegations with five different seasons ending in the drop, a record that has since been matched by Hermann Hreiðarsson.

Did you know? Arsenal have not been relegated since they last entered the top flight in 1919.

What are parachute payments? Parachute payments are a series of solidarity payments the Premier League makes to relegated clubs, for up to three years, to help them adapt to reduced revenues back in the Championship - with significantly less TV revenue.

How much are they worth? The parachute payments have been worth around £30million per year to clubs, on average, in recent seasons. Clubs received £233million in parachute payments over the 2020-21 season, an average of £33million per club in question.

The relegated clubs will receive 55% of the equal share of broadcast revenue paid to Premier League clubs in the first year after relegation; 45% the following year and 20% in year three. The payments stopped if the club was promoted to the Premier League again during the three-year period.

A team can receive four red cards – thus reducing them to seven on-field players – and still continue the match by the letter of the law. However, the rules state that substitutes do not count in this case, so any number of subs could also receive red cards and the match would continue.

For a sending off, after a second yellow in one game, the suspension period is one match. For a so-called professional foul, a player will also receive a one-match ban. If the foul in question is dissent, it will normally be a two-match ban.
