Current Premier League Standings

After 10 games in the English Premier League, the bottom of the table looks something like this:

West Ham – 9 Points
Swansea City – 8 Points
Everton – 8 Points
Bournemouth – 7 Points
Crystal Palace – 4 Points

Crystal Palace has won just 1 game while all the other teams from 15th position onwards have won 2 games apiece. As you can see, it’s still early in the season to call who will get relegated as everyone are almost on the same points. A string of few good games could take any of these teams into the top half of the table.

Odds On Relegation

Crystal Palace – 4/6
Swansea – 11/10
Brighton – 21/10
Bournemouth – 12/5
West Ham – 16/5
West Brom – 17/2
Everton – 10/1

Who Is Going Down?

Everton – No

The bookies feel that Everton will move out of the bottom of the table and aim for a top-10 finish. After such a horrible start to a season, Everton would be lucky to stay in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace – Yes

Crystal Palace seems like they would be the first team to confirm relegation after just 1 win in 10 games. Sitting at the bottom of the table, Palace doesn’t seem to be scoring goals or even drawing games. The bookies feel that Palace will be the first team to be relegated this season.

Swansea City – Yes

The bookies feel that the Swans could also be going down to the Premiership after Crystal Palace. With odds of almost 1/1, it sure seems that Swansea would be relegated and they currently sit right outside the relegation zone.

Brighton – Maybe

Brighton is third favorites to be relegated this season. The newly promoted championship side currently sit in 12th position with as many points (12). I think Brighton might surprise a few teams to keep their position in the Premier League for next Season.

Random Stat: The odds on City or United getting relegated is at 2500/1.
