The Clarets are now odds-on for the drop having agreed the sale of main striker Chris Wood to Premier League relegation rivals Newcastle.
Bookmakers have cut odds on Burnley being relegated to the Championship over the last 24 hours, coinciding with the departure of striker Chris Wood.
Punters and bookies alike have responded to Newcastle’s ‘marquee’ signing, shortening odds on Burnley going down from 10/11 into as short as 4/7.
The best price of 4/6 is available on Burnley being relegated with both Betway and Ladbrokes.
That makes them the third most likely team to leave the league after this season, now trailing just Norwich (1/12) and Watford (4/7).
The club that poached Wood, Newcastle, are next up in the relegation betting at 13/10 to be playing in England’s second division next year.
