LONDON (Reuters) - Southampton's wretched return to the Premier League could yet make them the worst team in the competition's history and while the other two clubs promoted last season have done marginally better, a worrying trend is emerging.
With nine points from 27 games, Southampton look doomed and surpassing the record-low 11 Derby County managed in 2007-08 is their only target. Leicester City and Ipswich Town could yet survive, but with 17 points apiece they are five behind 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers who look far stronger.
