Premier League Relegation Odds 2024/25: Southampton as low as 1/500 for the drop

Update: 20.02.25

Southampton are as close as you could possibly get to being dead certs for relegation straight back down from the Premier League, the South coast outfit having collected a measly 9 points from their 25 top-flight outings.

This has been an utterly dreadful season for Southampton, the south-coast side sitting firmly at the foot of the league standings after 25 rounds of league fixtures. The chances are that they will find themselves back in the second tier at the end of 2024/25, however who will be going down with them?

Southampton – 1/10 for Relegation (lowest odds 1/500)

Southampton have resided at the foot of the Premier League table since the early stages of the campaign, the south coast side having managed just two wins whilst on league duty since the start of the season. Having leaked 57 goals along the way whilst scoring just 19, the omens don’t look good for the Saints. As things stand, Southampton sit eight points adrift of 19th placed Leicester City and ten points away from safety, therefore their chances of survival don’t look too good. The bookies go as low as 1/500 that the Saints suffer relegation this season and it’s to escape the conclusion that they will be plying their trade in the Championship next term.

Leicester City – 1/8 for Relegation (lowest odds 1/12)

The battle against the drop has become very much a four-horse race this season. While Southampton seem nailed on as far as relegation is concerned, just two points separate 19th-placed Leicester City from 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers, who themselves are eight points behind 16th-placed West Ham United. Leicester have managed a measly 4 wins from their 25 Premier League outings along with 16 defeats, however they are still in with a chance of saving their skin, the bookies going a best price of 1/8 that they make a swift return back down to the Championship.

Ipswich Town – 3/10 for Relegation (lowest odds 2/15)

Ipswich Town managed a share of the spoils away to Aston Villa in their most recent Premier League outing and they ensured their continued participation in the FA Cup with a 4-1 win at Coventry City earlier this month. The Tractor Boys are in a similar position to that of Leicester City in that they are just two points away from safety, however the bookies go as low as 2/15 that they too find themselves back in the second tier at the first time of asking.

Update: 15.01.25

Southampton enjoyed a welcome respite from their Premier League woes when thumping Championship side Swansea City 3-0 in the third round of the FA Cup at the weekend, however the likelihood is that they will be returning to the second tier at the end of the season.

Southampton, Ipswich Town and Leicester City each won promotion to the Premier League at the end of last season but the chances are that they will be all going straight back down,

Southampton – 1/50 for Relegation (lowest odds 1/500)

Southampton enjoyed a break from Premier League duty at the weekend when they found themselves up against Championship side Swansea City in the third round of the FA Cup. Following their 3-0 win over the South Wales, the Saints will have had a confidence boost ahead of what promises to be a tough assignment against near-neighbours AFC Bournemouth tonight and we don’t envisage the hosts getting one over on the Cherries at St Mary’s. Having won just once whilst on league duty this season, Southampton are now eight points adrift at the foot of the division and the bookies go as low as 1/500 (best odds 1/50) that they drop straight back down to the Championship at the end of the campaign.

Leicester City – 1/4 for Relegation (lowest odds 1/6)

Leicester City put their Premier League worries to one side at the weekend when they demolished Queens Park Rangers to the tune of 6-2 in the third round of the FA Cup and this will have boosted confidence ahead of their return to league duty. The Foxes find themselves up against Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium this evening and given that the hosts have failed to win any of their last six league games with a measly one point collected during that time, we’re far from convinced that they will help their cause in this one. The bookies go as low as 1/6 (best odds 1/4) that Leicester drop back down to the second tier this season and it’s hard to escape the conclusion that they will still be in the relegation mix towards the end of the campaign.

Ipswich Town – 5/6 for Relegation (lowest odds 8/13)

Ipswich Town also enjoyed victory in the third round of the FA Cup at the weekend when they despatched Bristol Rovers to the tune of 3-0 at Portman Road, however the downside of this is that their continued participation in the competition may distract them from the more important task of preserving their top-flight status. The Tractor Boys have shown signs of improvement in recent outings with a surprise 2-0 win at home to Chelsea at the end of 2024 being followed by a 2-2 draw with Fulham in their first outing of the year, however they remain third from bottom in the league standings and are as low as 8/13 (best odds 5/6) to be relegated at the end of the season.

Update: 07.01.25

After twenty rounds of league fixtures, Southampton sit at the foot of the Premier League table with just a single win to their name and sixteen defeats.

It was never going to be an easy ride for the three promoted sides from the Championship in the top-flight and true to form, Southampton, Ipswich Town and Leicester City are the three sides which occupy the three relegation places in early 2025. The question is, will all three drop straight back to the second tier at the first time of asking? It’s starting to look as though they might.

Southampton – 1/50 for Relegation (lowest odds 1/500)

It’s no exaggeration to state that Southampton have been massively out of their depth in this season’s Premier League campaign. Thus far the Saints have managed just a single league win since the start of the season while they have lost sixteen times whilst on Premier League duty. The south-coast side’s woes continued on Saturday afternoon when they were thrashed 5-0 at home to Brentford and with just six points to their name after twenty rounds of league fixtures, the Saints sit eight points adrift at the foot of the league standings and ten points away from safety. Some bookies go as low as 1/500 that Southampton drop back into the Championship at the end of 2024/25 and realistically it’s hard to envisage otherwise.

Leicester City – 2/7 for Relegation (lowest odds 1/6)

Having lost each of their last five Premier League outings by an aggregate scoreline of 14-2, Leicester City head into the second half of the league campaign in the bottom three of the standings. The Foxes kicked off the new year with a 2-1 defeat to Midlands rivals Aston Villa and as things stand they sit second from bottom in the league table, two points separating them from safety. The bookies are of the opinion that Leicester City’s stay in the top-flight will be limited to just a single season with some firms going as low as 1/6 that they find themselves back in the second tier at the first time of asking.

Ipswich Town – 4/5 for Relegation (lowest odds 8/13)

Ipswich Town lifted themselves into the Premier League after finishing second to Leicester City in the Championship standings at the end of the 2023/24 campaign, however it’s looking a distinct possibility that they will be dropping straight back down. The Tractor Boys have managed just three wins from their twenty league fixtures this season thus far and they sit third from bottom in the league standings as we head into the second half of the season. The East Anglian outfit ended a three-game losing run when holding Fulham to a draw at Craven Cottage last time out, however it’s hard to escape the conclusion that Ipswich will once again be a Championship side in 2025/26.

Southampton – 1/14 for Relegation (lowest odds 1/33)

Southampton’s Premier League woes continued at the weekend when they were thumped 5-0 by Tottenham Hotspur at St Mary’s Stadium, this result being followed by a midweek quarter-final exit from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Liverpool. Pre-season expectations weren’t that high for the Saints and it was anticipated that they would struggle back in the Premier League, however the manner in which they have failed to get going has been a huge disappointment for all concerned with the club. Thus far, the south-coast outfit have managed just a single league win in their 16 top-flight outings and the bookies now go as low as 1/33 (best odds 1/14) that they find themselves straight back in the Championship at the first time of asking.

Ipswich Town – 4/6 for Relegation (lowest odds 1/2)

Ipswich Town remain in the relegation zone, despite a much-needed win over fellow relegation-threatened side Wolverhampton Wanderers in their most recent Premier League outing. This was the Tractor Boys’ second league win of the campaign and as things stand they sit third bottom of the league table with one position and two points separating them from 17th-placed Leicester City. The East Anglian outfit desperately need to turn things around should they wish to extend their stay in the top-flight to more than just a single campaign, however the leading bookmakers go odds-on at a best price of 4/6 that they suffer a swift relegation back to the second tier.

Leicester City – 3/4 for Relegation (lowest odds 4/6)

Leicester City came off second best in a 4-0 thrashing away to Newcastle United at the weekend, a disappointing result for a side which had impressed when beating West Ham United 3-1 and drawing 2-2 with European hopefuls Brighton & Hove Albion in their previous two outings. The Foxes have managed wins in just three of their sixteen Premier League games this term and currently sit just two points and one position above the drop zone, the bookies making the East Midlands side third favourites at 3/4 odds on for relegation straight back to the Championship.

Update: 03.10.24

Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers are struggling at the wrong end of the Premier League table after six games.

Southampton – 2/7 for Relegation

Southampton’s woes continued at the weekend when they lost 3-1 along the road at local rivals Bournemouth, this disappointing result keeping them firmly in the bottom three in the league table with just a single point to their name. With six games gone, the Saints desperately need to find their feet in the Premier League but all things considered, it wouldn’t be a massive surprise to see them dropping straight back down to the Championship and the bookies go a best price of 2/7 that this proves to be the case.

Leicester City – 8/13 for Relegation

Leicester City took the 2023/24 Championship title in impressive fashion although there were a few wobbles at the latter stage of the campaign. These wobbles have continued in the Premier League and after six rounds of fixtures the Foxes find themselves sitting fourth from bottom of the division with just three points to their name. There’s every chance that the East Midlands side can turn things around at this early stage of the campaign but they are odds-on second favourites for the drop as things stand at best odds of 8/13.

Ipswich Town – 11/10 for Relegation

Ipswich Town took second place at the end of last season’s Championship campaign with just a single point separating them from winners Leicester City, however the Tractor Boys have steadied themselves in the Premier League following a poor start. Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna couldn’t have wished for a tougher start to the campaign and it was no huge surprise when his men came off second best against Liverpool (0-2) and Manchester City (4-1) in their opening two games. Since then Ipswich have shared the spoils in their subsequent four league outings and the odds on them dropping into the second tier have drifted slightly to 11/10 on the back of this four-game unbeaten run.

Update: 24.09.24

Southampton, Everton and Wolves are struggling at the bottom end of the Premier League table after five rounds of fixtures.

Things are hotting up in the race for the 2024/25 Premier League title and Manchester City lead the way despite their winning run coming to an end against Arsenal at the weekend. At the opposite end of the table, the likes of Wolves, Southampton and Everton are struggling to get going with all three sides collecting just a single point apiece.

Southampton – 2/5 for Relegation

Southampton collected their first point of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign when they held fellow strugglers Ipswich Town to a 1-1 draw at St Mary’s in their last outing on Saturday afternoon, however it has done absolutely nothing to ease the pressure on under-fire boss Russell Martin. The Saints manager is one of the favourites in the ‘Premier League Sack Race’ betting market while Southampton themselves are favourites to drop back down to the Championship at a best price of 2/5 (lowest odds 3/10).

Leicester City – 8/13 for Relegation

Leicester City have lost two of their opening five Premier League games this season but they are still in search of their first league win. The Foxes have shared the spoils with Crystal Palace (2-2) and fellow strugglers Everton (1-1) in their last two outings and they are heavily backed to make a swift return back to the Championship, the UK bookies going a best price of just 8/13 that the East Midlands side find themselves in the second tier next term.

Ipswich Town – Evens for Relegation

Ipswich Town are another side still searching for their first league win of the campaign, the Tractor Boys having also lost two and drawn three of their opening five Premier League matches. Having lifted themselves up from the Championship at the end of last season, the East Anglian outfit are finding the going extremely tough in the top tier and the bookies go a best price of Evens that their current stay in the Premier League is limited to just a single campaign.

Everton – 13/8 for Relegation

Everton’s last relegation from the top flight happened in 1950/51 but more than 70 years on it’s starting to look as though the Toffees will be in real danger of dropping into the Championship. With four defeats and just a single draw from their opening five league games, the Merseysiders are looking out of their depth and manager Sean Dyche is favourite in the ‘Sack Race’ market. With the club poised for a move to a brand new stadium and the hoped-for takeover set to take place, it’s looking as though a long season of struggle is on the cards with the bookies going 13/8 that it ends with relegation.

Update: 12.09.24

This season’s Premier League campaign is expected to be hugely competitive with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal pushing for the title, however the likes of Leicester City, Southampton and Ipswich Town are expected to struggle.

We’re now three rounds of fixtures into the 2024/25 Premier League season and while Manchester City and Liverpool have got their respective campaigns off to perfect starts prior to the international break, at the opposite end of the table a handful of teams are struggling. The question is, who will occupy the relegation places at the end of the season?

Leicester City – 4/11 for Relegation

2023/24 Championship title winners Leicester City were expected to take a while to get going in their first season back in the Premier League and so it has proved, the Foxes holding Tottenham Hotspur to a 1-1 draw in their season curtain-raiser but subsequently losing to Fulham (2-1) and Aston Villa (1-2) in their next two outings. After three rounds of fixtures, the East Midlands side sit in 15th position in the league table and the leading UK free bet bookmakers have them pencilled in as odds-on favourites to drop straight back down to the second tier at the first time of asking with some firms going as low as 4/11 (best odds 4/7).

Southampton – 4/7 for Relegation

Southampton hauled themselves up to the Premier League via the play-offs at the end of last season and the evidence thus far suggests that they weren’t quite ready for the move up. The south coast side are one of just two sides (the other being Everton) yet to claim their first league points of the campaign with defeats coming against Newcastle United (1-0), Nottingham Forest (0-1) and Brentford (3-1) and the bookies make them 4/7 second favourites for an immediate return back to the Championship.

Ipswich Town – Evens for Relegation

Ipswich Town finished as Championship runners-up at the end of last season and they are one of the sides tipped for relegation straight back down to the second tier. After three rounds of fixtures, the Tractor Boys have collected just a single point – courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Fulham last time out – and they were dumped out of the Carabao Cup following a penalty shoot-out defeat to League Two side AFC Wimbledon, the bookies going a best price of Evens for the East Anglian suffering relegation back to the second tier.

19.08.24

The 2024/25 Premier League campaign got underway on Friday evening and continued throughout the weekend, however newly-promoted Leicester City get their campaign underway when they entertain Tottenham Hotspur at the King Power Stadium this evening at 8pm.

The Premier League waved goodbye to Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United at the end of what was a very competitive 2023/24 season, while they welcomed Southampton, Ipswich Town and Leicester City from the second tier. There’s every chance that at least one of the newly promoted sides will make a swift return to the Championship at the end of the current campaign but will they go down alongside champions Manchester City?

Leicester City – 1/2 for Relegation

Leicester City clinched the Championship title at the end of 2023/24 but their lead over second-placed Ipswich Town after 46 rounds of fixtures was a mere one point. The Foxes will take a while to get going back in the top-flight and the bookmakers make them favourites for the drop at the end of 2024/25 at odds of just 1/2. The East Midlands side spent just a single season in the second tier after dropping out of the top-flight at the end of 2022/23, however they were the dominant team in the Championship for the vast majority of the campaign. Steve Cooper’s men get their season underway tonight when they face Tottenham Hotspur in what promises to be a tough assignment for the East Midlands outfit.

Ipswich Town – 10/11 for Relegation

Ipswich Town pushed Leicester City all the way in the battle for the Championship title but in the end they had to settle for second place. This was no huge disappointment given that just twelve months previously they had won promotion from the third tier of English football. Will the Tractor Boys keep their place in the top-flight at the end of next season or will they swiftly return to the Championship? They couldn’t have been given a tougher start to the season with an opening day meeting with Liverpool (against whom they lost 2-0) at Portman Road and a subsequent outing to Manchester City in their second game of the campaign.

Southampton – Evens for Relegation

Having finished in fourth position at the end of the regular 2023/24 Championship campaign, Southampton made it through to the play-off finals where they edged past Leeds United to the tune of 1-0, thus ensuring that they would return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. The south-coast club dropped out of the top-flight at the end of 2022/23 after finishing at the foot of the table with a mere 25 points and on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United in their opening game of 2024/25, the bookies make them Evens for the drop this time around.

Everton – 5/2 for Relegation

Everton will be playing in their brand new stadium next season but there’s every chance that they will be in line for another season of struggle. The Toffees have had to contend with points deductions but they remain in the Premier League, however on the back of a hugely demoralising 3-0 defeat at home to Brighton on the opening weekend of the season, they find themselves at the foot of the table and 5/2 for the drop.

Manchester City – 14/1 for Relegation

One of the most startling additions at the top end of the Premier League Relegation market are champions Manchester City who are just 16/1 for the drop at the end of 2024/25 (in contrast, Arsenal are a 2000/1 shot). It seems unfathomable that Pep Guardiola’s men will follow up six titles in seven seasons by dropping down to the Championship, however their ongoing battle with the Premier League and the 115 charges placed against them means that there is every possibility that they will be deducted points.

Both Nottingham Forest and Everton were given points deductions for breaking financial fair-play rules, therefore the punishment could be huge if Man City are found guilty of even a small percentage of the charges against them. There’s a pretty large chance that City could be in line for some tough punishments somewhere down the line and as such, it’s no shock to see the odds on them being relegated shorten considerably. Nevertheless, there are still ten clubs priced lower in the market.
