Bookies have faith in the Irons

|

West Ham are outsiders of theĀ  relegation fighting clubs to take the drop.

The High Street bookies are never very far wrong on such issues – they can’t afford to be – and the odds makers give the Irons a realistic chance of staying up over the likes of Stoke, Southampton and Huddersfield.

Indeed, the bookies give the Yorkshire outfit a worse chance of going down than ourselves despite them currently being in 15th position and even above Palace.

The Hammers are priced at 5/2 to go down with West Brom at 1/100 or more on. Stoke too look absolutely certain to go and are priced at 4/11.

Huddersfield are priced next at 11/8 and Southampton at 15/8 with ourselves priced at a lengthy 5/2 y comparison.

Swansea are priced at 5/1 and Palace at 13/2.
