Which Premier League sides are most likely to be relegated before the season starts.
The Premier League season gets underway on Friday 16th August when Man United take on Fulham at Old Trafford.
Last season was arguably one the worst relegation battles we have seen in the English top flight for a long time, which saw the three sides promoted the year before go back down with relative ease.
Bookmakers are predicting a similar outcome this year with Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich all topping the betting market for Premier League relegation.
Premier League Relegation Odds
| Club | Best Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Leicester | 1/2 | 67% |
| Ipswich | 1/1 | 50% |
| Southampton | 7/5 | 42% |
| Everton | 5/2 | 29% |
| Nottingham Forest | 11/4 | 27% |
| Wolverhampton | 4/1 | 20% |
Who is favourite to be relegated from the Premier League?
Leicester City are currently the favourites to be relegated from the Premier League, with Sky Bet offering the best odds at 1/2.
After winning the Championship title under Enzo Maresca, the Italian tactician was quickly poached by Chelsea, forcing the Foxes to recruit Steve Cooper, who was sacked by Nottingham Forest last season.
Bookmakers are not optimistic about Cooper's ability to guide Leicester to safety, giving them just a 67% chance of going back down.

Ipswich Town are the second favourites for relegation, with Sky Bet offering even odds of 1/1.
The Tractor Boys secured a return to the Premier League for the first time since 2002, achieving back-to-back promotions in the process. However, bookmakers give Kieran McKenna's men only a 50% chance of staying up, indicating that their chances of finally settling in a league are slim.
Southampton are the third most likely team to be relegated, with Quinnbet offering the best odds at 7/5.
The Saints have already made 12 new signings in an attempt to bolster their squad, focusing on improving their defense after conceding 63 goals in the Championship last season.
A similar defensive performance this season would leave Russell Martin's men with little hope of avoiding the drop.
