Premiership record for League Founder members?
If Preston or Burnley get promoted it would take the number of league founder members in the premiership to 7 (WBA presumed relegated) A record for the premiership and the most since 1979
Hope Alan Irvine’s team make it, they need a favour but some good results lately and should do well if they make it into the play offs.
