Burnley (2.54)

Returning as Championship runners-up, Burnley’s historic 100-point promotions have not translated into top‑flight survival, they were relegated twice in three seasons before. Despite solid defensive recruitment and new experience like Kyle Walker, their early fixture list includes several title contenders.

Sunderland (2.75)

As newly promoted play-off winners, Sunderland sit second in the finishing bottom outiright market. Neither Ipswich, Leicester, nor Southampton survived last time after promotion, and Sunderland’s significant summer signings must gel quickly. December fixtures include clashes against Liverpool, Manchester City, and the Tyne-Wear derby.

Leeds United (5.05)

Leeds enjoyed another 100-point campaign and topped the Championship, Leeds manager Daniel Farke has a history of falling in the top flight. They appear to have stronger infrastructure and fewer pre-season concerns than Sunderland or Burnley.

Wolverhampton Wanderers (13.25)

Wolves’ vulnerabilities stem from the departures of key players like Matheus Cunha and general squad flux. While technically seasoned, they may be vulnerable if transfers disrupt the team’s cohesion.

Brentford (15.25)

Despite Premier League stability in recent seasons, the departure of manager Thomas Frank and striker Bryan Mbeumo weakens the Bees. Managerial transitions like this often lead to regression in form.
