Leeds, Burnley, and Sunderland aim to defy recent Premier League relegation curse

Leeds United, Burnley, and Sunderland return to the Premier League this season with a clear goal: avoid the rapid relegation that has plagued their recent predecessors.

Idman.biz, citing Reuters. reports that for the past two seasons, newly promoted teams have struggled to adapt, dropping straight back to the Championship. Last season’s relegations of Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton highlighted the widening gap between the Premier League and the second tier.

Burnley, relegated in 2023-24 alongside Luton Town and Sheffield United, quickly bounced back, securing second place behind Leeds with a record-low 16 goals conceded. Both Leeds and Burnley reached 100 points in the Championship, a first for two teams in the same campaign, signaling their strength and potential to survive.

Burnley coach Scott Parker praised last season’s achievement as “nothing short of remarkable” and expressed determination to face the Premier League challenge with commitment and excitement. As the new season kicks off, these clubs hope their quality and resilience will secure their place in the top flight.
