Football's coronavirus problems in the United Kingdom are a reflection of society, with the country recording 78, positive cases on Wednesday -- the highest national figure since the start of the pandemic in March This week, the Premier League introduced emergency measures in an attempt to reduce the risk of outbreaks within clubs and ensure that fixtures can go ahead without disruption.
But the game faces a turbulent period in the weeks ahead; how will the Premier League navigate a safe path through the latest COVID outbreak? The Premier League reported 42 positive COVID cases among players and staff at its 20 clubs between Dec -- the highest weekly total since comprehensive testing began in May Following the outbreaks at Tottenham, Manchester United, Watford and Brentford this week, the record number of positive tests is expected to hit a record high when the Premier League releases the numbers at the end of this round of testing.
However, Tottenham's Premier League trip to Leicester on Thursday was postponed hours before kickoff after Leicester reported nine positive cases on Wednesday, with Tottenham still dealing with the after-effects of their own outbreak, which returned 15 positives among players and staff.
Premier League rules stipulate that games must be played if at least 14 players are fit and available, although that rule is open to interpretation depending on the age and experience of those players deemed fit to play. This is a fast-moving situation, with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson warning that the country faces a " tidal wave " of infections because of the omicron variant, and sources have told ESPN that the Premier League will ultimately be guided by government advice and instruction.
But as of today, the Premier League is not planning to halt the fixture list, opting instead to judge each game on a case-by-case basis. The view within the Premier League is that there remains enough space in the calendar for games to be rescheduled, and it is their desire for postponed games to be played as quickly as the fixture list allows.
Although sources at the Premier League have said that May 22 is a "hard stop" in terms of the league season, the absence of a major tournament next summer because of the World Cup in Qatar being moved to the winter Nov. Clubs have asked the league for a full shutdown, and while that request is considered, it's clear that some are already facing fixture problems. Spurs must reschedule the Brighton and Leicester games as well as their clash with Burnley, which was called off last month because of snow.
The Premier League announced on Dec. This means that players and staff must undergo daily testing in the form of a lateral flow device LFD and two PCR tests a week.
The Premier League record for most points won in a game season while still being relegated belongs to West Ham United, who went down with a hefty 42 points in In this season's table, that points-per-game rate would likely see them finish in lower mid-table, roughly on par with Aston Villa 13th and Southampton 14th. Bottom club Norwich already have 2 wins this season, though both Burnley and Newcastle 1 win each could equal the record if they fail to win another game.
Burnley also have two more games in which to find that second win, having only played 17 matches so far this season. Fewest home points in a season: 7, Sunderland Everton: 13 points from 9 games Leeds: 13 10 Watford: 7 10 Burnley: 7 7 Newcastle: 8 10 Norwich: 5 The Canaries need to claim two or more points from their remaining nine home league games at Carrow Road this season to ensure they don't end up in the record books for all the wrong reasons.
Despite both Burnley and Newcastle failing to win a single game on the road in so far, it is the latter who have also failed to register sufficient draws to better Derby's unwanted record-low haul. Eddie Howe's side have eight away trips remaining this season in which to accumulate at least one more point and thus rectify the situation.
The fact that the club's last away victory in the league came eight months ago, on the final day of last season against a Fulham side that had already been relegated, is perhaps slight cause for concern. Most defeats in a season: 29, Ipswich Town , Sunderland , Derby County , Sheffield United Everton: 9 defeats in 18 games 1 defeat every 2 games, extrapolated total 19 Leeds: 8 in 19 1 in 2.
They might be outside the relegation zone at the moment but Watford would come closest to equalling the record on current form. The good news is that the Hornets would still fall two defeats shy of the record even if they maintained their fairly dreadful rate of one defeat every 1. Fewest goals scored in a season: 20 goals in 38 games, Derby County and Sheffield United Everton: 23 goals in 18 games 1 goal per 0. The bottom three are all averaging less than a goal a game, with Norwich averaging a goal less than a goal every two games.
Indeed, it's really not looking good for the Canaries, who will have to increase their goal scoring dramatically in the second half of the season if they wish to avoid adding their name to the list of the Premier League's most low-scoring sides.
The club's top goal scorer in the league this season is Teemu Pukki with five goals in 18 games and he hasn't scored since November, so it's not looking promising on that specific front. Most goals conceded in a game season: 89, Derby County Everton: 32 goals in 18 games 1. They're all shipping goals, but none of the defences belonging to the Premier League's bottom clubs are leaking nearly as badly as Derby's record-holding and almost entirely porous backline.
Norwich have far and away the worst goal difference in the Premier League so far this season with a tally of having played exactly half of their games. Even if their goal difference is doubled to account for the second half of the season, the Canaries will still end with a goal difference of , which while sailing close to the wind is still enough to ensure that Derby's infamous vintage are able to cling onto their ghastly record for at least another season.
