Club’s eight-year stay in the top flight ends following West Ham’s draw on Monday night

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been relegated to the Championship after an eight-year spell in the Premier League following West Ham United‘s goalless draw at Crystal Palace on Monday night.

Rob Edwards’ side slipped to a 3-0 defeat at Leeds United on Saturday and that result, coupled with 17th-placed West Ham’s draw at Selhurst Park, means they can no longer move out of the bottom three.

Wolves can only claim a maximum of 15 points from their remaining five fixtures, which would leave them with a total of 32 points.

West Ham’s result on Monday night has moved them up to 33 points, so Wolves can no longer catch them.

Wolves were promoted as Championship winners under current West Ham head coach Nuno Espirito Santo in 2017/18.

Under Nuno, Wolves achieved back-to-back seventh-placed finishes in the Premier League and also played in Europe in the 2019/20 campaign, reaching the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals. The club secured a third top-half finish in 2021/22, finishing 10th under Bruno Lage.

Taking their place in the Premier League will be Coventry City, who secured their return to the top flight last Friday after a 25-year absence with a 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers.

When could Burnley be relegated?

West Ham’s result on Monday also means Burnley would be relegated on Wednesday if they lose to Manchester City.

Defeat for Scott Parker’s side would mean they will only be able to obtain a maximum of 12 points from their remaining four fixtures.

This would give them a total of 32 points, which is one fewer than West Ham’s current tally.
