Premier League relegation odds: Wolves firm favourites for the drop

Wolves are now heavy favourites for Premier League relegation after another defeat, with Burnley and West Ham also bang in trouble according to the bookies.

Even with the acquisition of Rob Edwards as manager, Wolves are struggling to pick up any points, and have officially made the worst start to a Premier League season - with the basement club only picking up two points from their opening 16 matches.

Yet another defeat for Wolves has seen their hopes of survival wane even thinner, with Rob Edwards' side now priced at 1/100 to be relegated down to the Championship.

Since being promoted in 2018, Wolves have enjoyed a rollercoaster of emotions, ranging from European nights to the sorry form they find themselves in now, and the bookies aren't giving them much hope of turning things around.

A more positive display against Arsenal still warranted zero points, so optimism is fast draining around Molineux amidst the worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign.

Matt Blogg of Ladbrokes said:

After a positive end to last season, many people thought Wolves might kick on and establish themselves once again as a decent Premier League side, but this season has been a disaster. Surviving the drop from this point would be miraculous.

Burnley and West Ham are also well among the favourites for relegation according to the bookies, with both teams in danger of being cut adrift from the rest of the league.

Scott Parker's side have slipped into a losing habit, suffering seven defeats on the bounce between November 1 and December 13, while West Ham continue to struggle to make up any real ground on the teams above them.

Leeds are priced as fourth-favourites for the drop, but impressive displays against Chelsea and Liverpool have seen their odds lengthen as the festive period gets into full swing.

A leap to Nottingham Forest then brings in the rest of the league, with high-flying Sunderland also still among the favourites due to a lack of experience at the top level.

The hope for all of the promoted sides, and everyone else in the division for what it's worth, will be that they don't end the season with the lowest points tally in Premier League history.

Southampton ended the season with 12 points, just one more than Derby in 2007/08, who are regarded as the worst side in the history of the Premier League - but Wolves are well on their way to smashing that unwanted record.

At the other end of the table, Arsenal are currently favourites to lift the Premier League title, while Manchester City, Aston Villa and Liverpool trail just behind.

Meanwhile, Erling Haaland continues to dominate the Golden Boot market after a prolific start to the season for Man City.
