We enjoyed a thrilling battle to beat the drop last season as Tottenham gave their fans a proper fright before eventually condemning West Ham to the drop. The new campaign’s out of the gates and Paddy Power’s top traders have priced up a Premier League relegation betting market.

Sunderland and Leeds broke the mould in 2025/26 as they actually managed to avoid an instant return to the Championship. Instead, Burnley were the sole newcomers to drop straight back down, alongside West Ham and Wolves.

Installed in their place were Ipswich, Hull and – after an absence of 25 years from the Premier League – Coventry City. The latter spent 34 consecutive seasons in the top-flight during their last stay, but current odds suggest they’ll be lucky to get anywhere near emulating that.

Can the promoted trio survive? With no further ado, let’s take a look at the latest relegation prices…

Coventry – 4/7

It was looking bleak for last season’s Championship champions after four defeats from four. There’s a glimmer of hope for Coventry after beating Nottingham Forest before the international break and following that up with a 4-1 demolition of Newcastle last time out.

Frank Lampard still has his work cut out, though. Can he keep the good times going?

Hull – 4/6

Championship play-off winners Hull are the surprise package so far. Manchester United were mauled by the Tigers on the opening day, and that set the tone for Sergej Jakirovic’s team to take a very encouraging nine points from the first 18 available.

They were fancied to prop up the pack but are giving it a hell of a go, with just one loss so far (2-1 vs Newcastle) amongst some decent results, including a potentially crucial win at Coventry and a spirited 2-2 draw against Chelsea down in the capital.

Man City – 17/10

They’re the second favourites to win the Premier League title, but could a points deduction after being found guilty of breaching financial rules plunge Man City into relegation trouble? They’re appealing, of course, so the show goes on for the time being.

Ipswich – 17/10

After being relegated in 2024/25, Ipswich bounced back to the Premier League at the first time of asking. There was also change ahead of their return as Gary O’Neill took over from Kieran McKenna.

Portman Road chiefs were active in the transfer window and the new boys have delivered on the pitch. Ipswich beat Crystal Palace before the international break and they followed that up by beating Fulham last time out. A promising start indeed.

Fulham – 12/5

After establishing themselves in the Premier League under the careful guidance of Marco Silva, Fulham have taken a major gamble by appointing inexperienced Alvaro Arbeloa as his successor and replacing their experienced heads with youthful additions.

The Whites claimed their first point of the season against Liverpool at Anfield before being denied their first win of the season at home to Manchester United. However, they’ve followed that up with the defeat at Ipswich to leave them bottom of the Premier League…

Crystal Palace – 10/3

After a couple of trophy-laden seasons, it looks like Crystal Palace may be in a relegation fight this term. The mastermind behind their silverware streak, Oliver Glasner, has gone, and his replacement Pierre Sage has had a tricky start.

The Eagles have lost three of their first six games, with a leaky defence being the biggest culprit. The Eagles have shipped 12 goals so far, although they bounced back after the international break to beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at Selhurst Park.
