Premier League Relegation Odds, Predictions, Picks 2025

• The Premier League 2024/25 season began on August 16 and finishes on May 25

• The campaign will feature 38 rounds of fixtures spread over more than nine months

• Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United were relegated last season

The 2024/25 Premier League season begins on August 16 and will run for a little over nine months until May 25.

The clubs that finish in the last three places of the table will be relegated to the Championship, the second tier of English soccer after all 38 games have been completed.

The three promoted clubs went straight back down last season and it looks like we will see a repeat this year. With a paltry nine points to their name, Southampton are all but relegated already. Leicester City, who lost 3-0 to Manchester United last time out, are struggling too.

Ipswich Town were also defeated in their most recent outing, going down 4-2 to Nottingham Forest. That allowed Wolverhampton Wanderers to open up a nine-point buffer above the bottom three. West Ham United, meanwhile, can start planning for another campaign in the top flight, as can Everton after their revival under David Moyes.

Premier League Relegation Top Favorites

Southampton

Hardly anything has gone well for Southampton this term. The Saints have struggled at both ends of the field, and neither of their managers (Russell Martin and Ivan Juric) has been able to pull them clear of danger. 

It is a matter of when rather than if Southampton’s relegation is confirmed. They only have nine points to their name and would require a miracle to survive from here. A 4-0 defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend only emphasized how poor Southampton have been.

Leicester City

Leicester City set an unwanted record at the weekend, becoming the first team in Premier League history to lose five consecutive home games without scoring a goal. A 4-0 thrashing by Brentford on Friday has left them second-bottom of the standings. 

Leaicester have gotten worse under Ruud van Nistelrooy, who must be feeling the pressure. Relegation to the Championship would potentially land the Foxes in trouble with the authorities due to financial issues.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town have been the most competitive member of the promoted trio, but they too are in a difficult position with a third of the campaign still to play. The Tractor Boys went down 4-1 to Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, leaving them five points adrift of safety.

The Tractor Boys do not have a great deal of Premier League experience in their ranks, while they were playing in the third tier two years ago. Kieran McKenna has his work cut out to keep the club in the top flight of English soccer, with Ipswich third-favorites for the drop.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

A 1-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday was a massive result for Wolves, who are now five points clear of the bottom three. Vitor Pereira’s team saw their relegation odds lengthen significantly in the aftermath of that triumph on the south coast.

The sportsbooks expect Wolves to survive at the expense of the promoted trio, but they are not over the line yet. Pereira’s men have some winnable games coming up in what could be a make-or-break period in their campaign, but things are now starting to look up for Wolves in their battle against the drop.

How Does Relegation Work in the Premier League?

The Premier League is played on a double round-robin basis. Each team in the division plays every other side home and away, giving a total of 38 matches.

Three points are awarded for every win and one point for every tie. At the end of the campaign, the three sides with the fewest points are relegated.

As a result of this format, there is no fixed date when Premier League relegation is announced – that moment is simply confirmed when it is no longer mathematically possible for a team to finish 17th or higher.

The earliest confirmation of relegation from the Premier League came when Derby County’s fate was sealed on 29 March 2008.

What Does Relegation Mean in the Premier League?

Relegation ends a club’s participation in the Premier League. A team that is relegated will spend the following season in the Championship, the second tier of English soccer.

Relegation is an important part of the English soccer system, which makes it a key point of difference with MLS in the United States.

It is seen as essential to sporting integrity within the English soccer pyramid, and the vast majority of supporters of Premier League clubs would oppose the removal of relegation, even if it benefited their team.

The presence of relegation also makes the Premier League more entertaining. Because the division lacks a play-off system, the majority of clubs would have nothing to fight for if the threat of demotion was abolished. Relegation battles are sometimes even more dramatic and engaging than title races.
