The newly promoted team will not be relegated and will still compete for the Champions League! Is the Premier League s strongest spoiler here?

In the 9th round of the Premier League, Sunderland defeated Chelsea in an upset and temporarily climbed to second place in the standings.

The newly promoted team makes history, and the Black Cats are going to do big things this time.

After 9 rounds, Sunderland scored 17 points. Their record in the same period was second only to Nottingham Forest in the 1994/95 season (21 points) and Herbert Hartford in the 2008/09 season. Manchester City (20 points), Wigan Athletic in the 2005/06 season (19 points), Blackburn in the 1992/93 season (18 points) and Middlesbrough in the 1995/96 season (18 points) became the sixth-best newly promoted team in the history of the Premier League.

In the past two seasons, all six newly promoted Premier League teams were relegated. This season, Sunderland is obviously well prepared. They not only want to stay in the Premier League, but also hit the European theater table.

With a powerful coach and stars, the newly promoted team's "powerful team" is guaranteed.

In the past summer window, Sunderland invested 180 million euros, far exceeding the "passing line" for the newly promoted team to avoid relegation (110 million euros). French coach Le Bris has Xhaka, Reinildo, Mugele, Brobey and other famous players under his command, and the team's strength has reached the level of competing for European qualifications.

Considering the strength and form of teams such as Wolves, West Ham, Burnley and Leeds United, it should not be a problem for Sunderland to stay in the Premier League. Last season's Nottingham Forest was their role model, and European qualification is not far away for the "Black Cats".
