The end of the Premier League season is upon us and the relegation battle has entered its final week.
Last season, all three promoted sides were relegated as Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton had a brief stay in the top flight. As a trio, they were poor, with even 18th-placed Leicester 13 points adrift of Tottenham, who finished in 17th place.
Champions Leeds, along with Sunderland and Burnley, made up the promoted trio this time around and all three clubs were initially given short odds of staying up. However, Sunderland have been the surprise package of the season, sitting comfortably in midtable.
Wolves have already had their relegation sealed after a truly awful season at Molineux and Burnley will be joining them as fans at Turf Moor prepare for an immediate return to the Championship.
West Ham have also struggled, leading to Graham Potter leaving the club, but Nuno Espirito Santo hasn’t been able to reverse the trend and the Hammers occupy the final relegation spot heading into the final weekend.
But it’s been Tottenham that have been the biggest shock of the season, being dragged into the relegation battle and they are just two points above the drop zone heading into the final weekend of action.
Relegation odds 2025-26
Who are the favourites to be relegated?
Tottenham
It’s been a disastrous season for Tottenham, who are on their third manager of the season and currently sit just outside the bottom three. No club is too big to go down but it is certainly a surprise to see the north London club unable to pull themselves away from trouble.
Tottenham are the outsiders to be playing Championship football next season and now have just one game left to save their status in the top flight.
West Ham
Things haven’t gone well in east London either, with West Ham flirting with the bottom three for much of the season. They’ve found a few more points in recent weeks but are still in massive trouble and sit inside the bottom three with just one game remaining.
The Hammers fans won’t be willing to give up without a fight, though, and will expect their side to continue to chip away at teams and pick up maximum points on the final day.
