The Premier League relegation battle took another twist this weekend as Burnley moved out of the bottom three with a 1-0 win over Wolves. The Clarets made it seven points from their last nine available to plunge Everton deeper into trouble, while also hauling Leeds United back into the mix after a 16-day break between the 3-0 win at Watford and tonight’s trip to Crystal Palace.
Jesse Marsch’s side head to Selhurst Park looking to move seven points clear of the bottom three or face a real battle on their hands with Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea up next. With the fight to survive now looking as tight as ever, here is a look at the latest relegation odds from Sky Bet.
Leeds United – 4/1
Despite how the table has closed up, Leeds are still fairly long odds to be relegated from the Premier League at 4/1. The Whites can take a huge step towards survival in their game in hand against Palace, though a defeat could blow it wide open.

Crucially for Leeds, their destiny is still in their own hands and they enter tonight’s match at Palace on the back of a run of 10 points from their last four matches. Continue that momentum, and Leeds should be fine.
Burnley – 6/4
It’s certainly been a long time since Burnley were odds against to go down, but Mike Jackson’s men are now priced at 6/4. As aforementioned, the Clarets have been on an excellent run since Jackson took caretaker charge, which has helped to propel them out of the relegation zone.
Burnley still have a relatively favourable run of matches, too, with Watford, Newcastle United and Aston Villa twice still to play. They have now certainly given themselves a huge chance.
Everton – 10/11
After falling into the bottom three for the first time this season, Everton are now odds on to be relegated at 10/11. The Toffees have lost eight Premier League away matches in a row and are now two points adrift of safety.
Everton will be encouraged by their performance in the 2-0 defeat at Liverpool yesterday, but ultimately at this stage of the season results are what matters.
