How Premier League new boys Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United can turn their seasons around after their troubling starts to the campaign

The promised land of the Premier League has turned into a nightmare for new boys Sheffield United, Luton and Burnley.

Between them they have a collective two wins out of a combined 24 matches and a total of nine points, making them the worst set of promoted sides in Premier League history at this stage of the season.

Talk of relegation for the promoted trio is everywhere, despite winless Bournemouth providing them company at the bottom of the table.

Only three promoted sides in Premier League history have taken four points or fewer from their opening eight matches and survived relegation: Crystal Palace in 2013-14 (three points in eight games) and Southampton (2012-13) and Nottingham Forest last season, who both survived after taking just four points.
