English Premier News :: Bet365 have West Ham as favourites for Premier League relegation

Posted on 2011-12-05 by Gooner

West Ham were cut for relegation from the Premier League at Bet365 after going down to a 1-0 defeat at Sunderland on Sunday.

The Hammers had raised fans hopes of turning a corner with a 4-0 home demolition of a reserve-stacked Manchester United side in the Carling Cup in midweek but West Ham found things much more difficult on their travels to the North East, going down to Jordan Henderson's first-half goal.

bet365 have cut West Ham from 4/5 to 4/6, and the Midlands-based firm now have three teams odds-on for the drop in what, according to the prices, looks a four-horse race.

Wolves (8/13) and Wigan (8/11) are the others odds-on - both are currently in the bottom three - with Blackpool out from 10/11 to 6/5.

Fourth-bottom Fulham come next in the market at 7/2.
