Foxes now Favourites to go

Three games and three comfortable losses see Leicester as the new favourites to be relegated from the Premiership at odds of 4/5 (Hills).

Peter Taylor now has a two-week break to rally his players before they next take on Ipswich, Derby and Middlesborough. Three more bad results could not only spell the end for the manager, but also ensure a long tough winter for the Midlands club.

Bolton, despite becoming the first promoted side to win the first three fixtures of a season are still rated among the favourites to be relegated. They are the joint second favourites along with Derby at 11/10.

Further down the list are Ipswich at 7/1 to be playing Nationwide football next season. The firm favourites from last season can expect to find the going much tougher this season, as most opponents will now be far more aware of their capabilities.
