Leeds United, Sunderland, Forest, Everton, Palace calls as bookies predict 2026-27 final Premier League table

The countdown continues to Leeds United’s second season back in the Premier League - ahead of which the bookies have made a fresh Whites call in their predicted final table.

Leeds and also Sunderland both bucked the trend of newly promoted teams going straight back down in the 2025-26 campaign, Leeds finishing eight points clear of the relegation zone in 14th place and Sunderland even qualifying for the Europa League with a brilliant seventh-placed finish.

Burnley were the only newly-promoted team to go straight back down, the Clarets relegated along with rock-bottom Wolves and ultimately also West Ham whose drop to the Championship was confirmed on the final day as fourth-bottom Tottenham survived.

Championship champions Coventry City, runners-up Ipswich Town and play-offs winners Hull City will be the three newly promoted teams looking to survive the 2026-27 campaign, ahead of which Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe has already sounded a warning about just how difficult a club’s second season back can be.

Leeds will go into the new season having also finished above Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest last season and only two points behind Everton and Newcastle United.

The latest in a bunch of recent managerial changes has seen Vitor Pereira depart his role as Forest boss, outgoing Palace head coach Oliver Glasner set to be appointed his successor.

There are now just seven weeks to go until the new season starts, ahead of which the bookies are continually updating their title and relegation odds.

Based on the very latest odds, this is how they think the final table will look.
