Notes on the EPL Relegation odds movement over the course of the season include:

  • [Aug 13] – Newly promoted Leicester (-250), Ipswich (-138), and Southampton (+110) all remain favorites for relegation with the start of the new EPL season just days away. Interestingly, some books are giving Manchester City relegation odds as short as +1000, with the threat of relegation hanging over City due to multiple alleged breaches of financial rules.
  • [Jun 1] – Despite winning the Championship last season, Leicester City have the dubious honor of being the favorite for relegation in 2024/25, with odds averaging at -212. Just behind is fellow promotee Ipswich Town (-127) and Everton (+150 ), who survived 2023/24 despite a point deduction.

Last Ten Relegated Teams & Final Points Totals

Season Relegated Teams Points
2023-24 Luton Town, Burnley, Sheffield United 26, 24, 16
2022-23 Leicester, Leeds, Southampton 34, 31, 25
2021-22 Burnley, Watford, Norwich 35, 23, 22
2020-21 Fulham, West Brom, Sheffield United 28, 26, 23
2019-20 Bournemouth, Watford, Norwich City 34, 34, 21
2018-19 Cardiff, Fulham, Huddersfield 34, 26, 16
2017-18 Swansea, Stoke, West Brom 33, 33, 31
2016-17 Hull, Middlesbrough, Sunderland 34, 28, 24
2015-16 Newcastle, Norwich, Aston Villa 37, 34, 17
2014-15 Hull, Burnley, QPR 35, 33, 30

35 points is the approximate number a team needs to avoid the drop in the Premier League. However, all three teams relegated in 2023/24 missed that mark by a decent margin.

17th-place Nottingham also finished with just 32 points 2023/24, but did so only because of a four-point deduction due to a breach of sustainability rules.

The 26 points earned by Luton Town last season was the lowest total earned by the “best” relegated team since Queens Park Rangers’ 25 points in the 1978/79.

However, QPR’s distinction is far more dubious as First Division teams played 42 matches at the time, meaning QPR’s PPM was 0.60 compared to Luton’s 0.68.

Sheffield’s 16 points in 2023/24 was the worst result for a last-place team since Derby County’s 11 points during the 2007/28 season, when The Rams won just a single game.

2015-16 Bournemouth, Watford, Norwich City 16th, 13th, 19th
2014-15 Leicester City, Burnley, QPR 14th, 19th, 20th

Of the previous 30 newly promoted teams over the past 10 seasons, exactly half (15) of them have been immediately relegated back to the Championship.

Joining the EPL for the 2024/25 season are Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton.

Leicester City and Southampton are both returning to the Premier League after one-year stints in the Championship, while Ipswich Town is returning to the top flight for the first time since the 2001/02 season.

Leicester won the EFL title last year with a record of 31-4-11 and 97 points. Ipswich finished just behind with a record of 28-12-6 and 96 points.

Southampton wound up in fourth place with 87 points, but would go on to beat West Brom and Leeds in the EFL Playoffs to capture the third and final promotion spot.
