Who will be relegated from the Premier League in 2020-21? The favourites, outsiders, underdogs & latest odds

The 2020-21 Premier League season will soon be underway and there will be plenty to play for at the top and the bottom of the table.

Norwich City, Bournemouth and Watford finished in the bottom three last term and Goal looks at the teams likely to be fighting to avoid the drop into the Championship this time around.

Who are the favourites to be relegated from the Premier League?

Fulham earned promotion last season and bet365 make them just 3/10 (1.30) to be relegated from the Premier League.

That was the second time in three years that the Cottagers escaped the Championship but memories of their dismal top-flight outing in 2018-19, which saw the club go through three managers and pick up just seven wins, will loom large.

West Brom are 1/2 (1.50) to get relegated from the Premier League for the second time in three years.

The Baggies finished rock bottom of the top-flight in 2017-18 but rebounded last season to finish second in the Championship behind Leeds United - bet365 do not hold out much hope they can avoid the drop.

This comes as little surprise considering Albion have been relegated in four of the 12 seasons they have played in the Premier League, finishing 19th twice and 20th twice.

Burnley, meanwhile, are 6/4 (2.50) to go back down to the second tier after five seasons in the Premier League.

Sean Dyche led his side to 15 wins last term, their highest total in the top-flight of English football in 50 years, but they have struggled in 2020-21 with three losses from their first three games.

Despite enjoying an incredible first season back in the big time, Sheffield United are 13/8 (2.63) to return to earth with a bump by being relegated.

The Blades were in serious consideration for European football but finished ninth following a poor end to the season and that form has yet to improve, with United losing all four games to start their campaign whilst scoring just once.

Who are the underdogs to be relegated from the Premier League?

Newcastle have made significant strides in the transfer market and are 10/3 (4.33) to be relegated back to the Championship.

Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser have both joined the Tyneside outfit and Steve Bruce will be hoping they add some much-needed attacking flair to the club, who have scored just 119 goals across the last three Premier League campaigns.

Crystal Palace are fourth favourites at 5/1 (6.0) to be relegated after a strong start to the 2020-21 season has seen them win two of their first four games, including an impressive 3-1 win at Old Trafford.

It was another another solid, if unspectacular, Premier League campaign last time out, and their tally of just 31 goals scored was the lowest in the club’s 114-year history.

West Ham United can be backed at 5/1 (6.0) for the drop after nine years in the Premier League, with their run nearly ending last term until the Hammers took eight points from their final four games.

The Irons bounced back from two consecutive defeats to start this season by recording brilliant 4-0 and 3-0 wins over Wolves and Leicester, respectively.

Also at 5/1 (6.0) are Brighton, who have flirted with relegation in all three of their seasons in the Premier League.

In fact, they have amassed just nine wins in each of those campaigns and their total of 27 is the lowest of any side in the last three seasons combined. They have picked up only one win from four games in 2020-21.

Who are the outsiders to be relegated from the Premier League?

Aston Villa pulled off a miraculous escape last season thanks to eight points from their final four games but are 12/1 (13.0) to be relegated this term after an incredible start to the campaign.

Dean Smith’s side have won all three of their games so far and their 7-2 demolition of champions Liverpool was one of the most astonishing results in Premier League history.

Southampton have firmly established themselves as a consistent Premier League side and are out at 10/1 (11.0) to be relegated after an impressive outing last time saw Danny Ings score 22 goals.

Under the tutelage of Marcelo Bielsa, Leeds United finally earned promotion back to the Premier League after 16 years away and are 12/1 (13.0) to return to the Championship immediately.

The West Yorkshire side have earned plenty of plaudits after picking up seven points from their opening four matches, all of which have been amongst the most exciting games of the season - especially their 1-1 draw with Manchester City.
