Premier League Relegation Odds

The Premier League relegation odds have seen some movement over the past few days with the news that Nottingham Forest have been docked four points for breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules making an instant impact.

Forest are now 5/4 to drop back into the Championship after swapping places with Luton, who denied them victory with a late equaliser on Saturday.

The odds have undergone a bit of a shake-up, despite only four Premier League games taking place last weekend, with Brentford not out of the woods yet and Everton still with some work to do if they are to maintain their long-established Premier League status.

Sheffield United To Be Relegated: 1/100

The Blades are already planning for life back in the Championship, but that does not mean that they have given up the ghost completely.

The team answered Chris Wilder's call to dig in and show they were up for the fight against Bournemouth by claiming a creditable away draw, but it still came with a tinge of regret as United could not hold on to a 2-0 lead.

The Bramall Lane club have been shipping goals at an alarming rate that currently puts them on track to concede 100 and tie the unwanted Premier League record of Swindon Town.

The Robins can at least point to their century coming in a 42-game season back in 1993/94.

Burnley To Be Relegated: 1/10

Burnley gave their survival prospects a much-needed boost when they overcame Brentford 2-1 at Turf Moor on Saturday.

The Clarets' fourth Premier League win of the season owed much to the fact that the Bees were reduced to 10 men after eight minutes thanks to Sergio Reguillion's clumsy challenge that also yielded a penalty.

Burnley fans have been given some hope by the recent displays of on-loan Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana and Vincent Kompany says his side still have "total belief".

But things are still looking forlorn for Kompany, who finally bit the bullet and dropped error-prone goalkeeper James Trafford at the weekend.

The Turf Moor outfit need to collect as many points in their next nine games as they did in their first 29 to give themselves a fighting chance.

Luton Town To Be Relegated: 13/20

Late shows from unsung heroes are becoming Luton's thing after Luke Berry rescued a point in the 89th minute of their 1-1 home draw with Forest.

Cauley Woodrow had done much the same at Crystal Palace a week before, but a 4-3 midweek defeat at Bournemouth after leading 3-0 meant the Hatters missed out on the chance to go level on points with Nuno Espirito Santo's men before the game.

However, Luton now occupy the coveted 17th spot because of Forest's four-point deduction and will be targeting maximum points from their upcoming home games against Bournemouth and Brentford.

Nottingham Forest To Be Relegated: 5/4

City Ground regulars had been fearing the magnitude of the points deduction, so the fact that there is now some clarity can be taken as a small positive even if Forest are now in the relegation zone.

But the team will have to rediscover some of the spirit they showed when beating the drop last season. Confidence in the camp is currently as low as anything Forest have experienced since getting promoted with their Portuguese coach again looking short of ideas on how to turn it around.

Everton To Be Relegated: 5/1

Everton's survival hopes were boosted without them kicking a ball last weekend as Luton and Nottingham Forest failed to make much ground while Brentford lost at Burnley.

The Toffees are scheduled to play Brentford at home and then go away to Luton in two potentially decisive relegation six-pointers on consecutive Saturday's soon, but their game in hand – a Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Goodison Park – may well prove just as critical.

Brentford To Be Relegated: 16/1

Defeat at Burnley was a major blow to Brentford, who blew their chance to halt a five-game winless sequence before the international break.

Thomas Frank’s side have been hovering a handful of points clear of the relegation zone for some time, but will need to take something from two of their next three home games - against Manchester United, Brighton and Sheffield United - if they are to avoid being drawn deeper into trouble.

Crystal Palace To Be Relegated: 20/1

Palace may be looking over their shoulders in 14th place, although their home form is strong enough to make you think they will get the nine points they need to be almost certainly safe for another season.

The Eagles duly received their new manager bounce when they beat Burnley 3-0 late last month, but that stoppage-time Woodrow goal denied them a fourth home win in five the weekend before last.

And with Manchester City, West Ham, Manchester United and Aston Villa still to come to Selhurst Park, Oliver Glasner's men may need to pick more than just a couple of away points to be sure.
