The bottom of the Premier League table saw virtually all the sides down there secure some form of a result over the recent weeks. As such the odds of lengthened slightly for all, with a few more points to their name.
Of course, the situation is still dire for a few sides, yet the trio of promoted sides still top the betting, even with Leicester sitting as high as 15th. Ipswich and Southampton remain in the drop zone, joined by Wolves. A lot can change, with still over 20 games to go.

Premier League Relegation Odds: Favourites Analysed
Southampton @ 1/5
Thirteen weeks into the season Southampton sit sadly right at the bottom of the table, with a mere 5 points to their name.
Their first victory of the season came recently, but it was only over Everton, hardly worth writing home about as the Toffees have been woeful on the road this term.
Little, bar this, has gone well for Russel Martin’s side, and with a distinct lack of top-flight talent they could well end up struggling further as the season progresses.
Particularly with their past Championship compatriots outperforming them to this point, the Saints faithful will need to do some considerable praying to turn this around.
Ipswich @ 1/2
One simply can’t help but wonder if all this is too much too soon for the Tractor Boys, whose rise has been meteoric, from League One to the Premier League in two years, but this is where the fairytale ends, as they continue to slip down the table and betting.
Nine points is no meagre showing, particularly as they earned the majority of these via draws. But a single victory is hardly something to write home about.
A few handy victories would pull them from the relegation zone, and they are capable of pulling off upsets, drawing with Manchester United a few weeks back.
However, the inability to secure victory, particularly over their basement club compatriots, makes for a worrisome situation.
Chugging along may not be enough for the Tractor Boys, who seemingly cannot get up to pace in the big time.
Leicester @ 8/13
Leicester may have started out as the most likely side to go down, but their fantastic accounting of themselves has steadily seen them rise, not only in the betting but in the table as well.
Three victories have seen them rise to 15th with 13 points to their name, as they are currently the best of the promotees, and bettering many other sides in the league.
Being cleared of any FFP wrongdoing will have helped their cause massively as well, as the Foxes are looking difficult to get a hold of in the league.
Once Premier League winners possess the pedigree, few other sides command in the league, and they seem to be making great use of this.
However, they did fail in their last relegation battle, and this could be impacting the odds, giving other sides a target as they try to run down the Foxes.
Everton @ 7/4
The Toffees survived the equivalent of a football cataclysm last term, recovering from six deducted points, to finish clear of the drop by a couple of places, a testament to Sean Dyche’s reputation as a relegation specialist.
Everton seemed to have cured some of the issues that plagued them early in the season, going four unbeaten, but they soon got back to their woeful ways.
A lack of impetus in matches saw them score only once in the month of November, and the goals still haven't started flowing.
Sean Dyche’s mystical relegation avoidance methods seem to be failing him and his side, as they sit a mere two points above the drop right now.
Surviving last term may well have all been for nothing if the Toffees cannot turn it around and soon, lest they consign themselves to the bottom of the table.
Wolves @ 2/1
Wolves were not in the bottom five of the betting when the season began, but their truly woeful performance in the early stages of the season saw them crash down the table and the betting.
10 weeks through the season, they were winless, but two wins and some handy draws in the interim has seen them earn nine points, and climb to within two points of 17th.
It all seems to have turned around for Gary O’Neil’s side who look to have found their form, amidst other relegation compatriots falling off.
Wolves fans and players alike will have been concerned after their lacking start, but they seem to have finally found their bite.
