Lucky Leicester, bad luck Burnley?
Burnley: Infogol position: 17th | Actual position: 18th
Leicester: Infogol position: 18th | Actual position: 8th
Watford: Infogol position: 19th | Actual position: 19th
Norwich: Infogol position: 20th | Actual position: 20th
Can Burnley feel aggrieved to have been relegated? Well it depends on how monastic you are in your view that data and performance trumps all.
Leicester are by far the biggest overperformers this season when it comes to results versus underlying numbers. If this proves to be a one-off, Brendan Rodgers deserves praise for overcoming what has been a season of incredible injury strife to drag the Foxes to eighth. If not, they could be in serious trouble.
Rodgers himself has openly said they need an overhaul this summer to arrest the decline they suffered in 21/22, with defensive performance particularly poor.
