14. Sunderland 4 points (goal difference -4)
15. Crystal Palace 4 points (-5)
16. Aston Villa 4 points (-5)
17. Bournemouth 3 points (-2)
--------------------------
18. Coventry City 3 points (-9)
19. Fulham 2 points (-3)
20. Tottenham 2 points (-6)
Tottenham has emerged as the third favorite to be relegated from the Premier League after failing to win any matches, losing three, and sitting bottom of the table despite spending over £300 million on transfers this summer. Their performance has been completely contrary to expectations.
The favorite is Coventry City, a newly promoted team, who only recently secured their first win of the season by narrowly beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 away. Fulham follows as the second favorite, also yet to win any games like Tottenham.
Ipswich Town, another newly promoted side, remains the fourth favorite despite already winning two matches and currently sitting 11th. Crystal Palace ranks as the fifth favorite after a managerial change from Oliver Glasner, who led them to FA Cup and UEFA Conference League titles, to Pierre Saïz.
Favorite 1: Coventry 43.82%
Favorite 2: Fulham 42.40%
Favorite 3: Tottenham 29.39%
Favorite 4: Ipswich 28.42%
Favorite 5: Crystal Palace 27.24%
