Stats: Fewest Premier League goals without being relegated

Below are the teams who escaped relegation despite scoring very few goals. Leeds United top the list with just 28 goals scored in the 1996/97 season. The club spectacularly managed an 11th place finish, which would seem highly unlikely in today’s competitive scenario.

Crystal Palace, however, this season, has scored only 18 goals so far, and could break the current standing record come end of the season. Going at an average of .69 goals per game, the London club could end up with 26 to 27 goals, and look likely to avoid relegation.
