Relegation from the Premier League requires serious downsizing, as nine remarkably high teams lie within six points of 20th in the 2022-23 Premier League table.
It means we’re set, at least for now, for more six relegation points than at any time in recent memory – many of them you’ll see below will involve Bournemouth – and the odds are in favor of a relatively surprising team heading for the championship.

At the moment Wolves and Saints are the in-form sides in the fight, although the former are in much better form than the latter, while Leicester are on the longest losing streak in the league and Crystal Palace could definitely use a win.

Below, you’ll see the latest standings, matches for teams still at risk of moving to the second tier, relegation odds, and our prediction of who will collect how many points.
