Here we take a look at the Premier League's relegation odds ahead of the 2023/24 season with several sides looking to avoid the same fate as Leeds United, Leicester City and Southampton in dropping down to the Championship.
Here we take a look at the Premier League's relegation odds ahead of the 2023/24 season with several sides looking to avoid the same fate as Leeds United, Leicester City and Southampton in dropping down to the Championship.
Luton Town are the favourites to be relegated from the Premier League in what is the Hatters' first top-flight campaign since the 1991/92 season.
Having been promoted against all odds via the Championship play-offs last time out at the expense of Coventry City, Rob Edwards will have his work cut out, especially with the financial disparities of those that regularly compete in the Premier League compared to newcomers.
So far, Town have made some astute signings having acquired the likes of Ryan Giles, Tahith Chong, Mads Andersen, Chiedozie Ogbene, Issa Kabore and Marvelous Nakamba for little over £10m, however time will tell if they can fight what feels like an inevitable journey back to the Championship.
Sheffield United are another newly-promoted side that could well face relegation back to the Championship if they aren't careful, especially considering the financial status of the Bramall Lane club.
Despite earning promotion back to the Premier League after just two seasons away, Paul Heckingbottom's side have barely been able to strengthen their squad, with key player Ilman Ndiaye looking Marseille-bound.
So far, the Blades have lost the likes of valuable squad players such as Enda Stevens, Jack O'Connell and Billy Sharp, while only managing to recruit Yasser Larouci on loan, as well as Anis Slimane and Benie Traore on permanent deals.
Rumours have emerged that Nottingham Forest are struggling to comply with FFP regulations following last season's lavish transfer spending - could this have a big effect on the City Ground club?
On top of this, further speculation has suggested that the Reds owe millions in unpaid bonuses and fees to agents.
With the likes of Dean Henderson, Keylor Navas and Renan Lodi all returning to their parent clubs following loan spells (Lodi has since moved to Marseille) and not been directly replaced, could Forest be in for a tricky ride following last season's 16th-placed finish where they leaked 68 goals?
Incredibly, AFC Bournemouth managed to finish 15th in the Premier League last season, which was a major achievement considering the strength of their squad in the first half of the campaign prior to new owners arriving at Dean Court.
However, despite Gary O'Neil's overachievements which included five wins in seven matches during the month of April, the Cherries decided to part ways with the 40-year-old in order to hire highly-touted coach Andoni Iraola. How will the Spaniard fare in his first season of English football? This is a question that will certainly need to be answered.
So far, the Cherries have acquired some interesting players, such as Justin Kluivert, Milos Kerkez, Hamed Traore and more.
Everton avoided relegation from the Premier League on the final day of last season via a 1-0 win over Bournemouth, Toffees manager Sean Dyche will be hoping for a less nerve-shredding campaign this time out.
So far, the Goodison Park club have managed to sign Ashley Young and Arnaut Danjuma (on loan) in the summer transfer window. However, Dyche's men will likely need a viable alternative to injury-prone forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin having seen his side suffer in the absence of the 26-year-old.
Fans of Wolverhampton Wanderers will be concerned ahead of the new season following a series of key departures from Molineux this summer.
So far, Wolves have allowed the likes of Adama Traore, Conor Coady, Joao Moutinho, Ruben Neves, Raul Jimenez, Nathan Collins and Diego Costa to leave the club, while only acquiring three new players in this transfer window when excluding Matheus Cunha who spent the second half of last season on loan.
Julen Lopetegui will be hoping to see more additions on top of Tom King, Matt Doherty and Boubacar Traore, otherwise, his side could perhaps face the consequences of weakening their squad.
Burnley: 10/3
Fulham: 10/3
Crystal Palace: 6/1
Brentford: 8/1
West Ham United: 9/1
