Are Stoke shock relegation contenders this year?

After five games, Stoke sit in last place. They have been unfathomably bad in their matches thus far and have a goal differential of -11.

EPL Relegation Battle: Strength of schedule numbers

Same as it ever was, the most exciting thing to come out of the EPL’s final few weeks will be the relegation battle.
