West Ham New Relegation Favourites
West Ham are favourites to be relegated but the bookmakers think it could be any of the bottom five teams that go down.
Two more teams made it to the crucial 40 point mark this weekend, West Brom reaching the target with a point at White Hart Lane and Sunderland recording their first league win in ten matches.
Blackpool snuck out of the relegation zone with a draw at home to Newcastle, swapping places with Wigan. Wolves also picked up a point to leave West Ham rooted to the bottom of the table. Things start to look bleak for the Hammers as they are 1/3 favourites to go down, the shortest price they have been all season. With Blackburn still to play, it could still be any three from five.
