Bookmakers issue Leeds United vote of confidence as Premier League relegation odds revealed

Fulham confirmed their place in the Premier League on Tuesday night, completing the 20-team line-up for the 2020/21 season.

The Cottagers joined Leeds United and West Brom back in the top-flight after beating Brentford 2-1 at Wembley in the Championship play-off final.

All three clubs will be hopeful of avoiding an immediate drop out of the Premier League next season but will face tough competition to retain their place amongst England's best clubs.

With the transfer market open and the season restart five weeks away, clubs will be hard-pressed to get their deals over the line in time for pre-season.

With that in mind, it comes as little surprise that two of the three promoted clubs, Fulham and West Brom, are the bookmakers' favourites for relegation. Leeds United, however, are much more fancied to survive than their fellow top flight new boys.

Of those that played in the top-flight last season, Aston Villa are third favourites for the drop after their last-ditch escape but with Jack Grealish's future in doubt, they could struggle against without significant reinforcements.

Crystal Palace, Newcastle United and Burnley are next in line, whilst Leeds sit level in the odds with Sheffield United, who defied all odds to finish ninth last term.

Here are The Pools' latest betting odds for Premier League relegation in 2020/21.

West Brom - 19/20

Fulham - 1/1

Aston Villa - 7/4

Crystal Palace - 11/5

Newcastle United - 12/5

Burnley - 11/4

Brighton & Hove Albion - 14/5

Sheffield United - 16/5

Leeds United 16/5

West Ham United - 15/4

Southampton - 5/1
