We are likely to be mathematically safe from relegation before we play Burnley on Sunday when we have 6 games left to play especially because I cannot see Bournemouth winning at Man U on Saturday. Either us beating Spurs tomorrow or failing that, Bournemouth not win at Old Trafford or Watford not getting a point at Chelsea this Saturday will mean that we are mathematically safe with 6 games left to play.
1973-74 season was the first time when three teams went down at the end of the season. So I am trying to see which was the highest number of games we had left to play after we were mathematically safe since 1973.
1973-74
1 game left to play after drawing 1-1 at home to QPR
1974-75
7 games left to play after Derby beat Luton 5-0 (we drew 2-2 at Coventry the night before
1975-76
Relegated
1990-91
Only 2 teams went down that season as the number of PL teams were being increased to 22 for the following season but for the record we were safe from the drop after winning 2-1 at QPR with 4 games left to play.
1991-92
4 games left to play after we beat Spurs 2-0 at home.
1992-93
Last game although we were 11 goals ahead of Oldham in GD before the last game of the season
1993-94
