Nottingham Forest Boost Premier League Relegation Odds with Wolves Draw

Nottingham Forest took advantage of Luton Town's heavy loss at Premier League title betting odds favourites Manchester City to move a point further away from the drop zone this weekend.

Forest came from behind to lead 2-1 at home to Wolves on Saturday but Matheus Cunha struck his second goal of the game to salvage a draw for Gary O'Neil's out-of-form side.

A run of six points from five games for Forest has helped to counteract the club's points deduction from the Premier League and they now sit a point above the dreaded dotted line.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side are 2/1 in the Premier League relegation odds as a result, though their next match away to Everton looks like a vital six-pointer in the run-in for both sides.

Everton take on Chelsea on Monday night with Sean Dyche's men looking to follow up a fortunate 1-0 victory at home to his old club Burnley last time out. The bookies make the Toffees 6/1 in the Premier League relegation odds even though they have had eight points deducted.

Burnley saw a catastrophic error from goalkeeper Arijanet Muric cost them for the second game in a row. After the Kosovo international saw his clearance charged down and into the goal by Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin for Everton's winner last week, Muric allowed a backpass to roll under his foot for Brighton's equaliser at Turf Moor on Saturday. The Clarets had only just taken the lead through their captain Josh Brownhill but were denied their fifth league win.

Vincent Kompany's side are now six points adrift - despite the points taken away from Everton and Forest - and with only five games remaining their survival hopes are looking very slim. Burnley are priced up at 1/16 in the Premier League relegation odds with the bookies now convinced they are running out of time to secure their top-flight status for another year.

The only team below Burnley in the table are their next opponents, Sheffield United, who lost 2-0 at Brentford. The Blades are priced up as 1/1000 certainties to be back in the Championship next term and they will start the campaign on -2 points after becoming the latest team to be docked points over their financial situation.

Frank Onyeka's late goal for the Bees wrapped up their first Premier League win in two months, moving Thomas Frank's team seven points clear of the relegation zone. That result shifted their Premier League relegation odds to 100/1 - they are effectively safe in the eyes of the bookies.

The third relegation spot is still occupied by Luton Town, who were well beaten 5-1 at City. The Hatters are only a point behind Forest but a far worse goal difference helps to explain their Premier League relegation betting odds of 4/7. Luton beat Bournemouth at home last weekend and they host Brentford at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, hoping to boost their chances.
