Is the quality of the EPL too much for the EFL teams?

As Burnley and Sheffield United face the reality of relegation from the Premier League, while Luton Town cling to hope after a defeat to West Ham, their fate hinges on the outcome of the Nottingham Forest versus Chelsea match, going into the last game of the season. These three clubs, newly promoted to the EPL for the 23/24 season, find themselves battling to stay afloat. Meanwhile, the relegated trio from the previous season—Leicester City, Leeds, and Southampton—currently dominate the top four spots in the EFL Championship table. This juxtaposition prompts reflection on whether the Championship’s footballing quality truly lags far behind that of the Premier League.
