It's hard to argue that a team doesn't deserve be relegated when they've lost 80% of their league games this season, so I won't.
Sheffield United's demise has been a sharp one, but it's worth mentioning that their underlying metrics were better than results suggest in the opening parts of the season.
The Blades entered matchday 18 with just two points to their name. A massive underperformance on attacking numbers was the main catalyst driving that appalling run of results.
Relegation is justified over the duration of the campaign, but, as the 10-match rolling xG graphic shows, the Baggies have improved under Allardyce.
After giving themselves a chance of remaining in the Premier League with a solid mid-season stretch, Fulham have gained only one point across their last seven fixtures, denying the neutral end of season drama at the bottom of the table.
Scott Parker's side have created an average of 0.96 xGF per game in those matches, hardly the actions of a team deserving of safety.
Alongside their struggles in creating scoring opportunities, Fulham's conversion rate has been atrocious, scoring 25 goals from 41.4 xG this season.
Fulham have been afforded every opportunity to stay up according to their other metrics, allowing 56.3 expected goals against (xGA) — a better figure than five other teams in the league.
Alphonse Areola and an improving defence played a major part in outperforming those xGA numbers, too, conceding just 47 goals in 38 games.
The Cottagers sit 15th in Infogol's expected table, but a failure to capitalise on scoring chances leaves them with little defence when deliberating whether Fulham should still be in the Premier League, despite the underlying numbers.
