So far, York City, Swindon Town, Sunderland, Fulham (2 times), Plymouth Argyle (2 times), Wigan Athletic, Reading, Newcastle United, Charlton Athletic, Leicester City, Wolverhampton, Sheffield United and Manchester City have exceeded 100 points.
Most of them are second- and third-tier clubs, and Manchester City (100 points) in the 2017-2018 season is the only club that has exceeded 100 points in the first English Premier League.
If Birmingham wins at least eight of the remaining 12 points and scores 107 points, it will become the most points team in English professional football history.
This is why Birmingham coach Chris Davis has already secured promotion with six games left, and he has spent most of his main resources to hunt for points.
Davis also deployed Japanese midfielder Tomoki Iwata, defender Christophe Clare, key left back Alex Cochrane, offensive midfielder Billum Billumson and main gun Jay Stansfield in the match against Burton.
Baek Seung-ho, who returned to his team with an injury in the A-match in March, replaced Mark Leonard in the 22nd minute of the second half when his team was 2-0 ahead due to consecutive goals from Alphonse Samsted and Stansfield in the 44th minute of the first half and the 2nd minute of the first half.
Fullback Lee Myung-jae, who made his European stage debut through a home game against Crawley Town on the 18th, was excluded from the entry.

Baek Seung-ho will also play four consecutive games against Stevernage on the 25th, Mansfield Town on the 27th, Blackpool on May 1 and Cambridge Town on the 3rd. Baek Seung-ho has established himself as the core of Davis' build-up tactics this season, contributing to the team's promotion by playing 37 games (3047 minutes), the fourth-most in the team, with one goal and two assists.
As the remaining four games are short, Lee Myung-jae is also likely to take additional opportunities.
Baek Seung-ho will end the season early in early May, but he will remain in the UK for his personal schedule and return to Korea in mid-May to take a break before the A-match in June.
