The English Premier League, being one of the best leagues in the world is equally very competitive. Upcoming teams are giving the already-established teams a hard time in the race for the EPL title. Just as there is a win in a game, there could be also a draw. In instances where there is a win, a loss must occur on one of the teams. With me here is a detailed analysis dating back to the inception of the EPL, showing clubs that have lost the highest number of games to date. In the list are two major clubs that are currently doing great. Take a look:

3. Aston Villa-388 losses
Villa Park and other stadiums have seen Aston Villa lose 388 games in their premier league history.
4. Newcastle United- 388 losses
5. Southampton -371 losses
Despite the losses, Southampton remains one of the best football clubs in England.
6.Tottenham Hotspurs – 369 losses
Hotspurs have been on and off for a record number of times, which explains their many losses.
7. Sunderland- 296 losses.
Sunderland has been relegated numerous times due to their high number of losses.
