The 3 relegated teams
19th: Burnley
18th: Luton Town
Despite their victory over Luton Town last weekend, Opta are almost certain that Sheffield United can’t escape the drop.
They have given the Blades a 58.7% chance of finishing bottom of the table. The fact that Chris Wilder’s side are still 7 points off safety after 24 matches, having played a game more, suggests they may well be right.
Burnley look likely to go straight back down with them, but the third promoted side, Luton, seem to have the best shot of getting out of trouble.
Even so, Opta believe that, despite battling bravely, the Hatters will ultimately suffer relegation.
