First team relegated in Premier League 2024/25

Southampton relegated after defeat to Tottenham.

After losing to Spurs, Southampton was officially relegated with 7 rounds to play. After 31 matches, "The Saints" are 22 points behind the 17th-placed Wolves in the safe position, thereby losing the chance to stay in the top flight of English football this season.

With relegation in round 31, Southampton became the team to say goodbye to the Premier League season the earliest in history, surpassing the record of Derby County and Ipswich Town - teams that were relegated with 6 rounds left.

The 2024/25 season has turned into a nightmare for Southampton. The St Mary's club is also at risk of becoming the team with the lowest number of points in history, with only 10 points.

Southampton could break Derby County's record of 11 points in 2007/08 if they fail to pick up any points in their remaining seven games. They have just five points from 15 games at St Mary's. If they fail to pick up any points in their remaining four home games, they will break Sunderland's record for fewest points in a home league season in 2005/06, which was seven points from 19 games.

In addition to Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town are the next two teams at risk of relegation if they do not improve their situation. The gap between these clubs and safety is 15 and 12 points respectively.

It is important to note that the three teams at the bottom of the table are also the three newcomers to the Premier League this season. The prospect of all three returning to the English First Division after just one season is likely to come true.
