Norwich (A) - Pre Match Thread

Agree totally, but we know that head to head is the most important and if we lose that, we need to start smashing teams even more, just in case!

as i stated,
no quarter.

If two or more clubs finish level in the table when competing for the title or European qualification, or when relegation is at stake, their records in the head-to-head matches will now be used to separate them.

This is only after goal difference is taken into account. Read post 2 above Sebastian Blue.

Pretty sure that backs my post up. Read the first paragraph of the screenshot again.

Yes, SBs Premier League link says head-to-head is used after GD and goals scored. I thought I was going mad for a minute there until you posted, Xhavenjoe!

It's worded misleadingly - when they say 'level' in the first paragraph, it later turns out they mean level on points, GD and GS. Previously there'd be a play-off at that point, but this makes a play-off less likely.

I agree with that, it is worded poorly.

It is the Premier League, after all - what did we expect... :-)

Probably be overturned by VAR if it suited the preferable outcome.

Less we forget......

So lets get this right, if both teams are level on points at the end of the season, it goes on goal difference first, then head to head ?
