West Ham United could be fighting a relegation battle next season, according to the latest bookies' odds.
The Hammers, who finished 14th last season having spent the majority of the season in the lower third of the Premier League table are considered to be one of the 'next worst' to be relegated at the end of the 2025/26 campaign outside of the newly-promoted clubs.While new arrivals Sunderland (1/4), Burnley (9/4) and Leeds United (10/11) understandably taking the top three slots, it's is Graham Potter's side who are - unsurprisingly perhaps - considered one of the most likely for the drop by bookies Ladbrokes thereafter.
At 6/1, the Hammers are priced alongside Everton and Fulham and just behind Wolves (7/2) and Brentford who, despite finishing in the top half of the table last term have lost talismanic manager Thomas Frank to Tottenham.
The only other clubs with odds shorter than 10/1 are FA Cup winners Crystal Palace (8/1) and Bournemouth, who finished ninth last season (9/1).
Meanwhile the clubs least likely to suffer relegation, according to the bookies are reigning League champions Liverpool plus Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Newcastle United - all of whom are priced at 100/1.
