The 10-game table stat that suggests Ipswich will definitely stay up

A historical Premier League statistical trend suggests Ipswich Town will avoid relegation after accumulating 11 points from their opening 10 matches. According to BBC research cited in the report, every newly-promoted team since the 2015-16 season that earned 11 or more points through 10 matches has successfully avoided the drop.

Despite a recent 2-1 defeat to AFC Bournemouth, Gary O'Neil's side sits 14th in the table ahead of the international break. The last newly-promoted team to be relegated after taking at least 11 points from their first 10 games was Cardiff City in the 2013-14 campaign.
