THE PREMIER LEAGUE IN SIXTY SECONDS

HOPE IS NOT LOST

NEWCASTLE are winless after 12 games — but they are not doomed just yet. Four of the previous 10 top-flight teams to be winless at this stage stayed up: Man City in 1980-81: SURVIVED Wolves in 1983-84: RELEGATED West Brom in 1985-86: RELEGATED Sheff Utd in 1990-91: SURVIVED Swindon in 1993-94: RELEGATED Everton in 1994-95: SURVIVED Derby in 2000-01: SURVIVED Norwich in 2004-05: RELEGATED QPR in 2012-13: RELEGATED Sheff Utd in 2020-21: RELEGATED

1989 MANCHESTER UNITED’S 4-1 loss to Watford was their biggest league defeat against a promoted side since a 5-1 thrashing against Manchester City in September 1989.
