Premier League Betting: Norwich favourites to be relegated ahead of Watford, Newcastle

 

The Canaries are second-bottom despite their famous 3-2 win over Manchester City and the bookmakers think they will have it all to do this season
Whilst Liverpool and Manchester City look set to battle it out for the Premier League title again, the race for survival could prove to be just as enthralling for a host of clubs.
Watford are the only team without a win this season and currently sit bottom of the table with just three points to their name after eight games, and bet365 make them 11/10 (2.10) to go down to the Championship.
The Hornets have not won a Premier League game since beating Huddersfield Town 2-1 on April 20 and have not beaten a side still in the top-flight since triumphing 2-1 against Leicester City on March 3.
Propping up the market are Norwich City at 5/6 (1.83), who claimed arguably the most notable result of the season by beating Manchester City 3-2 in September.
However, that is just one of two wins that Daniel Farkeโ€™s men have picked up this term and the Canaries sit 19th in the table with 10 goals to their name.
With just five goals, Newcastle are the second-lowest scorers in the division and can be backed at 5/4 (2.25) to go down despite amassing eight points so far thanks to wins over Tottenham and Manchester United.
It is 13/8 (2.63) that newly-promoted Sheffield United drop straight back down to the Championship after earning nine points from their opening eight games.
The Bladesโ€™ home form could be a worry though, with just three of their points coming at Bramall Lane, with three of their four games in front of their own fans ending in defeat.
Aston Villa gained promotion via the Championship play-offs last season and are 2/1 (3.0) to go straight back down.Wesley Aston Villa 2019-20
A 5-1 victory at Norwich just before the international break will surely have increased morale and means the Villans have taken five points from their last four fixtures.
Brighton flirted with relegation last season after picking up just three points from their final nine fixtures and could certainly garner some interest at 3/1 (4.0).
The Seagulls beat Spurs 3-0 in their previous fixture but that was just their second win of the campaign and ended a six-game winless streak. Culled from Goal.com
