West Ham's odds have plummeted after a shocking 3-0 loss to newly promoted Sunderland on the opening day of the season.
West Ham United’s Premier League campaign could not have started in worse fashion, with a bruising 3-0 defeat to newly promoted Sunderland immediately raising questions about their survival prospects.
A club that only a few years ago was competing in Europe now finds itself facing serious doubts over whether it has the quality to stay clear of the relegation fight.
They opened as 7/1 chances to be relegated, however after their opening day loss, their odds have dipped to as low as 5/2 to face the drop for the first time since the 2010/11 season.

Graham Potter Sacked Odds
Graham Potter's odds to be the next manager sacked dropped dramatically after the first game of the season. He shot from as long as 12/1 into 2/1 favourite (William Hill).
West Ham United’s 3-0 defeat to Sunderland on the opening day has not only dented confidence but also piled early pressure on manager Graham Potter.
Since taking charge, Potter has struggled to stamp authority on the side, with just five wins in his last 19 Premier League games raising serious doubts about his ability to turn form around.
With results slow to improve and questions over recruitment in key areas, Potter’s future at the London Stadium could prove decisive in whether West Ham secure Premier League survival or slide towards the drop zone.
