Crystal Palace have failed to win any of their opening eight Premier League games.

The Eagles have endured their worst start to a season since 1992-93 .

Michael Olise and Joachim Andersen have both left Selhurst Park this season .

Palace have not won a Premier League game since their 5 -0 win over Aston Villa on the final day of last season .

It is not all doom and gloom for the Eagles though, because other teams have been here before - and stayed up. Ten times a side has failed to win any of their opening eight Premier League games and managed to avoid the drop. Bournemouth had an identical record to Palace at this stage last season - no wins, three draws and five losses - and finished 12th. That also happens to be one of 13 occasions a team has gone on to avoid relegation after collecting only three points from their first eight Premier League matches. Palace have managed to do that twice themselves, in 2014 and 2018 ..
