Premier League relegation odds: Foxes odds-on for drop

Leicester City may have been promoted as Championship winners but the bookmakers don’t see their return to the top flight being a long one, making them 2/5 favourites to go straight back down. 

Enzo Maresca, who led the Foxes to the title last season, has left to join Chelsea, with Steve Cooper coming in as his replacement at the King Power Stadium.

Foxes fighting for scraps again

The bookmakers believe the Championship’s top three in 2023-24 – Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton – are on course to become the Premier League’s bottom three in 2024-25. 

Should they be right – and the bookies often are – it will be the second successive season in which that has happened, the same fate having befallen Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town in May.

Perhaps surprisingly, Championship winners Leicester are 2/5 favourites to go straight back down. The Foxes start life in the top flight without the manager who guided them there, Enzo Maresca having left to join Chelsea, who have also signed the club’s star midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Steve Cooper, the former Swansea City and Nottingham Forest manager, takes over in the dugout at the King Power Stadium. 

Ipswich Town are 8/11 second favourites, despite retaining the services of Kieran McKenna, who is regarded as one of the game’s brightest young managers. That description also fits Southampton boss Russell Martin, but the play-off winners are next in the betting at 11/8.

Everton and Nottingham Forest are both 2/1 for the drop after they struggled last season because of points deductions, and Wolves are 10/3 after failing to maintain a promising start under Gary O’Neil.

Brentford and Fulham are 9/2 respectively, with a gap to Bournemouth at 8/1. The Bees may struggle for goals if Ivan Toney leaves the club, although they played for half a season without him in 2023-24.
