The latest episode of the World Soccer Talk Podcast is presented by Sling. Hosted by Christopher Harris and Kartik Krishnaiyer, this episode focuses on what makes relegation is appealing to watch, as a neutral. Plus, we take a closer look at the race to avoid relegation, sharing our predictions of who will get relegated. The clubs in the Premier League fighting to stay up are West Ham, Southampton, Leeds, Everton, Leicester and Nottingham Forest.

We also discuss when the concept of relegation was created in soccer, what makes it so appealing, and whether there’s anything like it in American sports.

In our Listener Mailbag segment, we also share what we’re hearing from a MLS insider about MLS Season Pass. Plus we read out your feedback about last week’s episode on the topic of promotion and relegation.
