How difficult is it to never be relegated in the Premier League? Only 6 teams have achieved it, including Everton, while even a strong team like Manchester City has not accomplished it. The Premier League, one of the most watched leagues in European football, has attracted the attention of fans worldwide since its inception in 1992. The league has developed for over 30 years, gradually improving and seeing an increase in the strength of its teams. Some weaker teams in the league have been relegated, with some perhaps returning to the Premier League and others possibly falling into obscurity. So, in the more than 30-year history of the Premier League, which teams have never been relegated? Let's take a look today. Everton - Best Result: Fourth Place Although Everton has never won the Premier League title, the Toffees have never been relegated in their 33-year history in the Premier League. In the inaugural season of the Premier League, Everton finished 13th with 53 points, successfully remaining in the top flight. In subsequent seasons, despite not having any standout performances, Everton managed to stay in the Premier League, continuing to compete at the highest level of English football. The 2004-05 season saw Everton achieve their best result in the Premier League to date, finishing fourth with 61 points from 18 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses. Everton also finished fifth in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, maintaining a mid-table position in subsequent seasons. In the 2022-23 season, Everton narrowly avoided relegation by finishing fourth from bottom. In the 2023-24 season, Everton…

Guardiola, the core of the Manchester City dynasty team, has always been a player of great interest to fans. However, it is unfortunate that this season's performance has indeed declined significantly. It is almost impossible for them to win the championship in the Premier League. Therefore, there are now many rumors about Manchester City's rebuilding, among which everyone is more concerned about which players Guardiola wants to clean up. Among the players who are more concerned about leaving are De Bruyne and Grealish. De Bruyne has been the ace of Manchester City over the years, and the team's offensive end relies on his organization and passing. However, this season, his role has indeed been greatly reduced. Moreover, Manchester City currently has no intention of renewing his contract, so it is very likely that De Bruyne will leave after his contract expires. Grealish has performed very poorly in the past two years, so it is normal for him to leave at the end of this season. After Guardiola's rebuild, he also hopes to sign five superstars, the first of which is Bundesliga MVP Wirtz. As the ace who led Leverkusen to an undefeated championship last season, Manchester City has always hoped to sign him as their future core. The other players Guardiola is interested in are Musiala, Suvimendi, Marius, and Guehi, all of whom are strong players in their respective leagues. If Guardiola can create a new lineup for Manchester City, they will once again become the strongest team in Europe, making Real Madrid uneasy. After all, Manchester City's financial strength…

A winter night in international football was filled with excitement due to several dramatic matches. Sporting Portugal ended their four-game losing streak, showing an inspiring comeback; while Real Madrid and Juventus unexpectedly lost points against weaker opponents, leading to a series of upsets. This football feast proved that victory is not only determined by paper strength but also by on-site wisdom and willpower. Manchester City's nemesis recovered as Sporting Portugal ended their four-game losing streak. After the departure of coach Amorim, they fell into a slump, suffering four consecutive defeats. In the 14th round of the Portuguese Super League, they defeated Boavista 3-2 with Trincao scoring twice and Zekairesh making a crucial goal, ending their losing streak and demonstrating their resilience in adversity. The "Galactic Battleship" stumbled as Real Madrid drew 3-3 with Vallecano, missing the opportunity to top the league. Despite having a possession rate of 66%, their unstable defense allowed the opponent, who had only 34% possession, to attempt 14 shots and score three times. Vallecano showed their fighting spirit, using intelligence to make up for their lack of strength. The "Draw Master" reappeared as Juventus struggled to draw 2-2 at home against newly promoted Venice, which was shocking. Although they had a possession rate of 69% and dominated in shots, Juventus conceded twice due to defensive issues. Concesan created a penalty, and Vlahovic scored to save the day, but Juventus' tough four consecutive draws made their title hopes slim. Meanwhile, Venice's tenacious performance proved the resilience and potential of the newly promoted team. This night, the thrilling…

In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester City faced Leicester City away from home. In this match, Manchester City's 20-year-old new signing Savigno became the focus of the game. The young Brazilian winger finally scored his first goal for Manchester City after playing 24 games, and also assisted Haaland in scoring a header, helping Manchester City win 2-0 against Leicester City. After the game, Savigno was named the best player on the field. In this game, Savigno was arranged by Guardiola to play as a left winger instead of his familiar right winger position. In the 21st minute of the game, Savigno seized the opportunity. After Foden's long-range shot was saved, he quickly rushed in to complete the rebound, breaking the deadlock on the field and giving Manchester City a 1-0 lead. It is worth noting that this goal was not only his first goal for Manchester City but also his debut goal in the Premier League. Savigno's goal ended his embarrassing record of failing to score in 15 Premier League appearances with 27 shots. After playing 24 official matches for Manchester City, Savigno finally ended his goalless streak. Savigno's performance did not end there. In the second half, he once again became a key figure in the game. In the 74th minute, Savigno's precise cross found Haaland, who easily headed the ball into the net, securing a 2-0 victory for Manchester City. In this game, Savigno not only broke his own goal drought but also assisted his teammate Haaland in breaking his four-game goal drought, becoming the…

In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester City won 2-0 away against Leicester City, marking their second victory in the last 14 matches. In this game, new summer signing Savigno contributed with a goal and an assist, becoming the key player for the team's win. Haaland also ended his four-game goal drought by scoring in the match. However, for Manchester City fans, the biggest highlight of the game was 22-year-old McAtee. He came off the bench and created the team's second goal. After the game, Coach Guardiola publicly apologized to him, admitting that he had given McAtee too few opportunities before. In this game, McAtee came on as a substitute in the 66th minute, which was his third appearance in the Premier League this season and the first time he played before the 89th minute. When McAtee came on, the score was 1-0. The current Manchester City team is not good at maintaining a lead. A few minutes after McAtee came on, Vardy's header hit the post, causing a cold sweat among Manchester City fans. In the 73rd minute of the game, McAtee took the ball on the flank, made a brilliant dribble past a defender, and then passed the ball to De Bruyne, who then passed it to Savigno on the left and finally assisted Haaland to score the second goal for Manchester City. After leading 2-0, the hearts of Manchester City fans finally settled. After this goal, the Manchester City fans at the scene did not shout Haaland's name first, but instead they were calling out…

Due to Manchester City's recent poor performance, the club's management has begun to plan a large-scale cleaning operation. Many former veterans of the team, due to their poor performance this season, may be included in Guardiola's cleaning plan. Recently, according to the latest report from the "Daily Mail", Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, known as B-Silva, may also be sold by the club next season. Due to the extremely poor performance this season, the Manchester City management has decided to take action and started to prepare for the future layout of the team, aiming to optimize the team structure to ensure that the team can sweep away the depression and return to its former peak state. The 30-year-old B-Silva is also within the scope of Manchester City's adjustment. However, the reason for B-Silva being cleaned up by Manchester City is not entirely because of his personal state decline, but for other reasons. Everyone knows that B-Silva, as a key member of the Manchester City team and Guardiola's favorite player, his ability and contribution are beyond doubt. However, in football, age and contract status are often important factors in determining a player's stay or departure. B-Silva is about to enter the second half of his career, and his contract is about to enter the last year, which undoubtedly increases the uncertainty for the club in renewal negotiations. To avoid the potential transfer turmoil affecting the stability of the team in the future, Manchester City chose to push B-Silva into the transfer market at this moment, which is both a respect for…

At the 2024 Global Football Awards ceremony, Cristiano Ronaldo was honored with the Best Middle East Player of the Year award and also received the Best Historical Goalscorer award. In an interview, Ronaldo discussed topics related to the Ballon d'Or, Manchester United, Manchester City, and once again brought up the comparison between the Saudi League and Ligue 1, which caused a stir. An official response! Ligue 1 announces a new decision, leaving Ronaldo embarrassed. Ronaldo had previously stated that the Saudi league is better, and he reiterated his stance. Ronaldo said, "The Saudi league is undoubtedly stronger than Ligue 1; try sprinting in temperatures of 38, 39, or 40 degrees. Apart from Paris, the other teams in Ligue 1 are not good enough." Ronaldo's remarks upset many Ligue 1 fans, and now Ligue 1 has responded strongly to Ronaldo. The official Spanish-language social media account of Ligue 1 reposted a previous dynamic responding to Ronaldo, which quoted Messi's previous comments. At that time, Messi said, "Ligue 1 places more emphasis on physical confrontation than La Liga; Ligue 1 teams have stronger physical endurance, the matches are more intense, and there is very limited space for players; Ligue 1 players are all very strong." Additionally, the media stated that this is the view of Ligue 1 players and referred to Messi as the greatest player in history and the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). Ligue 1 cited Messi's words; in Messi's opinion, Ligue 1 is better than La Liga in certain aspects. Compared to La Liga, Ligue 1 excels in some…

Manchester City's journey this season has been full of ups and downs. When everyone was still immersed in the joy of their 3-0 home victory over Nottingham Forest, reality dealt them a harsh blow. In the past month, the team has fallen into a quagmire of five consecutive winless matches, causing great anxiety among the club's top management. It is well known that such a decline in performance undoubtedly touches the bottom line of the championship race in the highly competitive Premier League. Faced with problems emerging one after another, Manchester City's management could no longer sit idly by and decided to take a "gamble" during the winter transfer window. British media sources have revealed that Manchester City has set its sights firmly on Serie A giants Inter Milan, with rumors even suggesting they plan to "empty" Inter's squad. It is said that in order to acquire their desired players, Manchester City is prepared to invest a large sum of money, with Lautaro expected to join the Etihad Stadium at a high price. Moreover, Manchester City has also targeted Barella. This series of significant news has caused a huge stir in the European football scene. Manchester City's recent winless streak has exposed the weaknesses of the team. Taking the offense as an example, since the departure of Alvarez, the team's attack seems to have lost a key engine. When he was there, his partnership with Haaland formed a formidable front-line "double gun," capable of wreaking havoc on the opponent's defense. However, now, opponents only need to tightly mark Haaland, and…

On December 29th at 22:30 Beijing time, the 19th round of the 2024-25 Premier League season featured a highly anticipated match between Leicester City and Manchester City. Manchester City, as the reigning champions, are currently facing challenges, with their participation in next season's European competitions in question. After drawing 1-1 at home against Everton, who are fighting relegation, they have only managed one win in their last 13 matches. In their last five games across all competitions, they have drawn twice and lost three times, without a victory, and in the Premier League, they have drawn twice and lost twice in their last four rounds.

Under new manager Van Nistelrooy, they won their first match at home 3-1 against West Ham United, followed by a 2-2 draw at home against Brighton. However, they have suffered three consecutive defeats in their last three rounds, conceding at least three goals in each match, scoring only once away against Liverpool. Before the match, Manchester City sat seventh in the Premier League table with 28 points from 18 matches (8 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses), trailing Liverpool, who had played one fewer match, by 14 points, and were six points behind fourth-placed Nottingham Forest. Leicester City, with 14 points from 18 matches (3 wins, 5 draws, 10 losses), were ranked 18th, one point behind Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are outside the relegation zone.

After this game, Manchester City temporarily surpassed Newcastle and Bournemouth, who have not played this round, to reach fifth place. This game was also Guardiola's 500th match as manager of Manchester City, marking a milestone. In the 10th minute, Vardy cleverly positioned himself to form a one-on-one situation, and Otamendi rushed out to tackle him directly, knocking Vardy down. Normally, Otamendi should have received a red card, and Leicester City would have been awarded a penalty, but Vardy was offside when he received the ball, allowing Manchester City to escape a disaster. In the 19th minute, Gvardiol headed back, almost turning it into an own goal assist, but Vardy's subsequent shot from a tight angle was saved by Otamendi with great effort. In the 21st minute, Lewis passed the ball without stopping, and Foden's…
