Even though the summer transfer window is still open, and there will be a bit of time through the month of August to fill any obvious gaps that appear, it’s not likely that the teams who are most likely going to be facing relegation this season will be that active. That having been said, Brighton have splashed out a club record on Colombian winger Izquierdo to boost their chances of staying up. That’s really the smartest bit of business they have done because the other players that have come in really haven’t added top-tier quality.

Any side that gets promoted to the Premier League is always going to be massively vulnerable and the Seagulls are 6/5 at bet365 to get relegated this season straight back down. Huddersfield though are the 4/6 odds on favourites to suffer the drop this season. But then, none of the newly promoted clubs have done better preparation work to try and survive the new season than Huddersfield have. They have gone big in bolstering their squad to try and ensure survival. Whether or not it pays off remains to be said, but at least they are likely to be more competitive off the bat that they were looking when they go promotion.

Sandwiching Huddersfield and Brighton in the Premier League relegation market at bet365 is Burnley. The Clarets could have a huge struggle on their hands this season and just ahead of the start of the new season they sold off striker Andre Gray to Watford. Burnley don’t have a big budget at all and with star defender Michael Keane having gone to Everton, there are gaps and weakness in the squad that aren’t likely to be filled and they look under huge pressure this season.

Premier League Relegation Odds at Bet365

Huddersfield 4/6, Burnley 5/4, Brighton 6/5, Watford 7/4, Swansea 2/1, Newcastle 7/2, Crystal Palace 5/1, West Brom 6/1, Stoke 6/1, Bournemouth 6/1, West Ham 9/1, bar 14/1.

Stoke have received a lot of action in the bet365 Premier League relegation market and boss Mark Hughes is one of the favourites to be the first manager to leave his post this season. The Potters only managed to beat one team above them at home last season and they don’t meet anyone who finished beneath them last season at the Bet365 Stadium until the beginning of December. So they could have a really tough start to the season that could be hard to recover from. They have been really slack on the transfer side of things in the summer too.

Of those shorter than the 6/1 price on the Potters, Palace look as if they will probably have enough in the tank to be safe, Watford should be a bigger price than the 7/4 on them with Marco Silva having taken over at the club and Newcastle will likely do enough on home soil to ensure that the don’t drop straight back to the Championship. So perhaps it is Swansea, particularly if they happen to lose Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente before the close of the transfer window, who could end up being in heaps of trouble.
