Three teams won promotion to the Premier League for 2026-27: Ipswich Town, Coventry City, and Hull City. They replaced Burnley, West Ham, and Wolves who were relegated.
The key question: are the new boys performing better or worse than the teams they replaced? We compare each promoted team's results against the same fixtures the relegated teams faced last season.

What Does This Mean?
📊 The Comparison Explained
We compare each promoted team to the relegated team that finished in their "slot" last season. For example, Ipswich replaced Burnley, so we compare Ipswich's results against the same opponents Burnley faced at the same venues.
A positive difference means the promoted team is doing better than the relegated team did - a strong sign they can survive. A negative difference is a warning sign, though fixture difficulty varies.
