Comments:

League position: 20th This result confirmed Stoke City’s relegation to the League Championship, ten years and one day after they confirmed their promotion to the Premier League. This was the Potters' first relegation since they went down to League Division 2 (third tier) in 1997-98 along with Reading and Manchester City. City were now without a win in their last 13 games in the Premier League; their worst such run in the top division since 1984 and the longest current run without a win in the top four divisions.

Comments:

League position: 11th This result confirmed that Crystal Palace had become the first team since Liverpool in the 1899-1900 to avoid relegation after losing their first seven games of a top division season. The Eagles had now won three of their last seven Premier League games when they had been trailling at half-time. Palace had now taken 14 points from their last seven games in the Premier League (won four, lost one).
