Could Arsenal Get Relegated from English Premier League?
It would be an absolute nightmare for any fans of the Arsenal Football Club, but could relegation from the English Premier League really be in their future?
They’ve finished eighth in two straight seasons, and haven’t been in the top four since the 2015-2016 when they finished second. Now, they’ve opened their 2020-2021 campaign with a loss to Brentford, who haven’t played in the top tier of England football since the 1946-1947 season.
Not a good start for a club that’s historically been one of the most prestigious in England.
While Arsenal is still a talented enough squad that they’ll likely finish middle of the pack, you can’t help but think that the loss to Brentford may have planted the relegation seed in the back of Arsenal fan’s minds.
WynnBET isn’t buying into the possibility just yet, as it has Arsenal’s odds set to be relegated set at +2500 (25/1).
With 20 teams in the Premier League, Arsenal would have to finish in the bottom three to be relegated, which is not likely. Their worst finish since the Premier League was born in 1992, is a 12th place finish in the 1994-1995 season. While they shouldn’t be relegated, having their worst season in Premier League history is certainly in the cards.
Arsenal’s odds to win the English Premier League dropped from +5000 to +10000 after their opening day loss.
Arsenal’s season is going to get worse before it gets better, as they have the best two teams in England in their next two Premier League matches. They face Chelsea on Aug. 22 and then Manchester City on Aug. 28.
If relegation truly is a possibility, we’ll find out on Sept. 11 when they play Norwich City, who is atop the odds list to be relegated at the end of the season at -120 odds.
