Not only is this season’s Premiership title race and the Champions League qualification race more open than ever before, we are also looking at what is probably the most open relegation battle ever in the Premiership.
The bottom half of the Premiership are currently separated by just seven points and all the teams in the bottom half are within at least five points of the relegation zone, meaning that very few teams consider themselves safe with just over ten games to go this season. According to the table it is Blackburn and Blackpool who are the safest of the bottom half teams but Blackpool are still far from safe despite their win over Spurs during the week, Blackpool are deemed fifth favourites to go down with the bookies and can be backed at 3/1.
According to the bookies the bottom four at the end of the season will feature all the W’s, who are the four teams that make up the current bottom four. West Brom are most likely to survive, they are 5/4 to go down with the current bottom three expected to remain there, all three of the bottom three are odds on to go down.
Wigan and West Ham are most likely to finish bottom, both teams are 8/15 to be relegated and around 11/4 to be rock bottom. That just leaves Wolves who are likely to make up the numbers in the bottom three according to the current Premiership relegation odds, they are 4/5 to do down this season.
The other team who could still be in trouble according to the latest odds are Birmingham, some good recent form has seen them move three points clear of the relegation zone with a game in hand over most of their rivals and they are probably safe now at 4/1 to go down. The likes of Aston Villa and Everton are still very close to the relegation zone but both are clearly expected to survive given their odds to go down of 16/1 and 22/1 respectively. With Premiership matches coming thick and fast the relegation odds are changing dramatically each week, we could have three new favourites to go down in a few weeks time.
