Blackpool 8/11 For The Drop
Blackpool are now odds on for the drop but everyone in the bottom half of the table is still in danger of relegation.
Even after losing a 2-0 lead, the bookmakers think West Ham are the most likely of the bottom three to stay up. Blackpool were the big relegation movers and are now 8/11 for the drop having been 5/4 at the start of the weekend.
West Brom and Birmingham recorded vital home wins to ease their fears. Roy Hodgson got one over his old Liverpool team and is now 4/1, from 7/4 to slip out of the league. It was an equally important win for neighbours Birmingham, pushed out to 3/1, from 7/4 for relegation.
Aston Villa are still deep in trouble after their topsy turvey game at Goodison Park, but the bookmakers are pricing up their odds based on their team sheet:
