The new Premier League season is here, and there will be more than a few sides hoping to simply finish 17th this season.
The last two seasons have worryingly seen the three promoted sides go right back down, with the financial gap between the top flight and the Championship seeming to only grow by the year.
Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland will hope to buck that trend this season, but will undoubtedly be up against it from the first day of the season.
Of the now-stalwarts of the Premier League, there are several who have lost key players this summer, and could be in danger of the drop if things start poorly.
The Sporting News brings you all the latest odds and betting for relegation in the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Who will be relegated from the Premier League 2025/26? Latest odds and betting
Unsurprisingly based on recent history, the three promoted sides are the favourites for the drop in 2025/26.
Burnley have lost James Trafford to Man City but their water-tight defence from last season has been boosted by the shock arrival of Kyle Walker. Scott Parker will hope the England veteran's experience can help, and there has been plenty of money spent elsewhere as the Clarets look to be more like the Sean Dyche vintage, and less like Vincent Kompany's class of 2023/24. That said, an early win against fellow promoted side Sunderland has given hope.
The last time Leeds were a newly promoted side, they finished ninth under Marcelo Bielsa, but not even the most optimistic Whites fan would expect that this season. Daniel Farke has been backed in the market, unlike his time with Norwich in the top flight, and Elland Road should be a tough place for anyone to go.
Sunderland have been the biggest spenders with over £100m going out as Regis Le Bris looks to build a squad capable of competing in the Premier League. Granit Xhaka is by far the most eye-catching arrival, and will be critical to the Black Cats' hopes of survival.
Brentford have had a very tough summer, with Thomas Frank's departure for Spurs followed by Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard leaving for Manchester United and Arsenal respectively. Rookie manager Keith Andrews will hope Jordan Henderson has something left in the tank on his return to the league, and Yoane Wissa can be convinced to stay. Otherwise, it could be a long season for the Bees.
Wolves also lost their star man to Old Trafford, with Matheus Cunha moving on. He was joined in leaving for Manchester by Rayan Ait-Nouri, who joined Man City. Vitor Pereira did a wonderful job upon his arrival midway through last season, and could be required to do the same to keep his side up again this year.
West Ham are an outside bet to go down, with a very disappointing season last year already bleeding into 2025/26. Graham Potter has a big job on his hands to stabilise them.
