The odds on Coventry to be relegated from the Premier League have drifted out from 1/2 to 8/11 with Betfair Sportsbook, and Frank Lampard's side earned every bit of that easing with a statement home win over Sunderland.
Three of five bookmakers have eased their odds on Coventry to be relegated from the Premier League, with 10/11 the best price available at Boyle Sports.
Hull are now the favourites at a best price of 8/11 with Bet Victor, with Coventry second-shortest.
Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Taiwo Awoniyi and Jack Rudoni all found the net in the 3-1 win over Sunderland.
Coventry travel to Everton next, before a home fixture against Crystal Palace.
This is a drift with proper football behind it. Coventry went into the weekend nursing a 1-0 home defeat to Fulham, and Lampard's answer was to hand Victor Torp his first league start of the season, with regular captain Matt Grimes dropping to the bench. The engine room looked livelier for the change, and the front line did the rest. Sakamoto opened the scoring with his first Premier League goal, Awoniyi doubled the lead before the break and Rudoni put the game out of reach early in the second half.
Sunderland pulled one back through an Enzo Le Fée penalty and finished a man down after Omar Alderete collected a second yellow card in stoppage time, but by then the job was done. The result lifted Coventry out of the relegation zone, and that is exactly why the market has backed away from them. Goals spread across the whole attack tell you this side has more than one route to goal, and the bookmakers have responded by pushing Coventry out to a best price of 10/11 with Boyle Sports.

Who is favourite to be relegated from the Premier League?
Hull are the favourites at a best price of 8/11 with Bet Victor, with Coventry second-shortest at 10/11 with Boyle Sports. Hull could only share the points at home to Ipswich on the same afternoon Coventry were winning, and that contrast is what has reshuffled the bottom of the log in the betting. It is a messy scrap, but the prices now point at Hull as the side most exposed, while Coventry have given the bookmakers a reason to look elsewhere.
Hull – 8/11 with Bet Victor. Drew 2-2 at home with Ipswich and remain the shortest price in the market.
Coventry – 10/11 with Boyle Sports. Eased after the 3-1 win over Sunderland lifted them out of the relegation zone.
Man City – 10/11 with Boyle Sports. Beaten 1-0 at home by Brighton, with Yasin Ayari scoring early on.
Crystal Palace – 2/1 with Bet Victor. Lost 2-0 away to Tottenham after Jean-Philippe Mateta was sent off early.

How do Coventry avoid relegation from the Premier League?
Simple enough on paper: keep the attack firing and keep bodies fit. The squad is stretched, with central defender Bobby Thomas a doubt after picking up an injury against Fulham and Haji Wright among those still sidelined, so the goals from Sakamoto, Awoniyi and Rudoni are carrying real weight. Next up is a trip to Everton, and Coventry go there with the better of the previous meetings between the clubs, having won three of them. Our view is that this drift is justified rather than a market overreaction. If Lampard's side carry this form on the road, the odds on Coventry to be relegated from the Premier League could ease further, and Hull would stay firmly in the spotlight at the wrong end of the table.
