Will Southampton Break Derby's Premier League Worst Record?

Southampton's struggle to avoid becoming the worst Premier League team.

During Derby County's 2007-08 campaign, they ended with a mere 11 points, setting the lowest tally in Premier League history. Now, Southampton is in a precarious position with 10 points and eight games remaining. Derby had a torrid season, winning only one game, scoring 20 goals, and having a goal difference of -69. Some Derby fans wore the 'worst team' tag as a badge of honour, but most would be relieved if Southampton took the title. After a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace, Southampton's defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis called the talk 'embarrassing'. The stats experts predict Southampton to finish with at least 15 points, but they still face tough fixtures.
