Leeds United are now the bookies' favourites to be relegated after wins for Burnley and Everton heaped pressure on Jesse Marsch.
The Whites were beaten 4-0 at home to Manchester City on Saturday evening, with a Clarets comeback win at Watford and a shock Everton victory over Chelsea either side. The weekend’s results have piled pressure on Leeds who - despite having never been in the bottom three - are now favourites to be the third team to go down.
Norwich were relegated on Saturday thanks to Burnley’s result, while Watford are as good as down, with most bookies refusing to offer any odds.

Leeds United are now 11/8 on Sky Bet to be relegated, with Everton at 7/4 and Burnley at 2/1.
That is despite Jesse Marsch’s side winning three of a five-game unbeaten run prior to the Manchester City defeat. Burnley have won three in a row since Mike Jackson replaced Sean Dyche, while Everton have taken 10 points from a possible 12 at home.
Five games unbeaten and 34 points would have all but guaranteed safety in the eyes of most Leeds fans, but performances from their relegation rivals has somehow meant the club have never been as close to dropping out of the Premier League as they currently are.
The Whites travel to Arsenal next weekend hoping to reproduce the energy of the Manchester City defeat, but with much more quality going forward. The Toffees have a tough trip to Leicester coming up, while Burnley host Aston Villa.
