Seventh-place Burnley, who overcame the odds to secure a Europa League place this season, are estimated to finish with less money than the three sides directly below them in the league — Everton, Leicester and Newcastle — after only being selected for a live TV game seven times, the lowest of any team in the league.
West Ham’s strife-ridden season could not be perceived more differently from Burnley’s campaign, yet as they were shown on TV 18 times they will finish with more money at £122.1m. West Ham, who could still finish as low as 17th and as high as 10th, have as much as £13.6m to play for against Everton at home.
