FT: Leeds 0 - 1 Southampton. Play off final

Re: FT: Leeds 0 - 1 Southampton. Play off final

Interesting early odds on the Premier League relegation market for 2024/25:

1/2 - Leicester City
8/11 - Ipswich Town
11/8 - Southampton

So, as things stand, the bookies seem to believe that Southampton under Russell Martin will be far better equipped to deal with the Premier League than either Leicester or Ipswich.

Leicester and Ipswich Managers linked with new jobs though?

Otherwise i'd have Southampton favourites to go down.

The Leicester odds must be down to the likelihood of them losing their manager. I find that a surprise.

I also feel, though I have no stats to back this up, that teams who are comfortable on the ball and can pass it well are more likely to stay up and do well in the PL.

And Leicesters is linked with Chelsea and others.

I think Leicesters odds are because theres a chance of a points deduction.

Ah, that makes more sense. As regards the managers, Leicester are likely to get someone decent in and McKenna’s apparently staying at Ipswich.

If Leicester and Ipswich keep the Managers, I think at least one of them will stay up, although I thought Burnley would stay last year.

So did the bookies. Burnley were 3/1 to be relegated back in August, and it was a handsome 14/1 against all three promoted clubs getting relegated.

Sheffield United were 4/1 to finish bottom, while Luton were 9/2 to finish highest of the three promoted sides.
