Will Sunderland be relegated this season?

Bookies make Sunderland the clear odds-on favourites to be relegated. With estimates around 2/5, they have the worst survival chances with the bookies. After promotion with just 76 points in the Championship, they now confront a massive step up, and bookmakers are ruthless in pricing their return likely. Burnley and Leeds United both reached 100 points in the Championship last season, with Leeds winning the league on goal difference. However, they aren’t far behind in the drop zone prices. Burnley’s solid defensive spine helps, but the step up still leaves them priced around 4/9. Leeds, while funded and traditionally competitive, sit around 10/11, risking another immediate return to the Championship.  

Can Wolves survive another season in the Premier League?

Wolverhampton Wanderers finished 16^th in the league last season, 17 points above Leicester who filled 18^th place and were relegated. Star man Matheus Cunha’s departure will be a big loss, and without a strong reinvestment in the squad,  they risk being dragged into trouble. The betting markets price them around 10/3, indicating a serious relegation risk if reinforcements don’t arrive at Molineux.  

Brentford, Fulham & West Ham could be dragged into the relegation fight

Brentford look vulnerable after their managerial shift, with Thomas Frank filling Ange Postecoglou’s shoes at Spurs. They have replaced him with former set-piece coach Keith Andrews, who is a very inexperienced manager, this being his first head coach role. Coupled with the potential exit of talismanic striker Bryan Mbeumo, they could find themselves lingering towards the bottom. Premier League 2025/26 relegation odds for Brentford sit at around 7/2 across platforms, which is a sign of noticeable but not red‑alert danger. Similarly, Fulham (7/1) and West Ham (6-7/1) are firmly in the wider danger zone, especially if they don’t get off to a good start. Fulham finished 11^th last season, with West Ham 14^th, so both were well clear, but could be dragged in this time around.  

Outside bets for relegation – Everton, Palace, Bournemouth and Forest

Everton hold around 8/1, Crystal Palace 7/1, and Bournemouth sit around 9–10/1. These three are somewhat viewed as relegation outsiders only if form collapses. It’s unlikely any of them will be down there, as they all finished more than 20 points clear of the drop last season, and a turnaround like that would take several player exits without reinvestment. Nottingham Forest are priced at 9/1 for relegation this season. They had a great season in 2024/25,  but they’re not immune to relegation if they can’t keep up the pace this season.  

The unexpected risks: Man United & Man City relegation chaces

Manchester United are priced around 20/1 to 25/1, which is relatively short for a club of their stature. This reflects their several poor seasons throughout recent years. It is extremely unlikely they’ll face the drop, but at such short odds for a team who are widely regarded as the biggest in the country, it’s difficult to ignore. They have made some investments in the squad, which could mean a marked improvement next season. If not, it would be hard to imagine a season without job pressure for manager Ruben Amorim. Meanwhile, Manchester City are also priced at 20/1 to go down, not due to on-field concerns, but because of ongoing Financial Fair Play charges that could result in points deductions, making relegation technically possible. Their relegation odds have been fairly short for a number of years, and it seems unlikely that the powers that be would hand them a points deduction that would result in such failure.  

Jake’s Final thoughts: Who’s most likely to go down?

At the sharp end: Sunderland, Burnley, Leeds – and perhaps Wolves – are the clear relegation candidates in the eyes of the bookies. In the danger zone: Brentford, Fulham and West Ham are all priced with single-digit odds – dangerous enough if results wobble early. Long shots: Everton, Palace, Bournemouth & Forest sit outside, but are not entirely off the radar over the course of a long season. Frighteningly priced: Manchester United’s 20/1 – 25/1 relegation odds mark one of the worst pre‑season forecasts for such a storied club. City are only marginally longer priced due to their off-field worries. Both extremely unlikely relegation candidates, but this is football, so who knows!
