Normally, the worst three teams in the English Premier Division will be promoted to the second division, the Championship, therefore in this situation, the top three clubs in the Championship will be promoted and fill those spots.
Premier League positions are worth tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of dollars, so when it comes to promotion and relegation in England's top flight, everything is on the line.
Keeping this in mind let's look at the 3 Premier League teams that are likely to get relegated to the EFL Championship.
#1 Nottingham Forest
In the Premier League, two days is a LONG time. Certainly this season, and CERTAINLY in the battle for the bottom of the standings.
Leeds United were the main winners in the Premier League's midweek action, as one might anticipate. Their 2-1 win over fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest was their third in six Premier League games under Javi Gracia (D1 L2), matching their total from the previous 22 games this season. (D7 L12). This run of form has reduced their odds of relegation to 10.6%, the second lowest of the relegation battle. The Whites' next opponent is the not-quite-out-of-the-woods-yet-but-I-think-they'll-be-safe-very-soon Crystal Palace.
Forest's deterioration in shape comes at a horrible moment. The club is winless in their previous eight Premier League games (D3 L5), the longest current streak in the league. Aston Villa awaits them on Saturday, with a 63% probability of sliding back into the Championship after only one season.
Forest did beat the Whites the previous time they met in February, but they have gone winless in the Premier League since - a streak the supercomputer does not see ending tonight, pushing Forest further into relegation trouble. Already our second favorites to lose (54.9%), anticipate that probability to rise if they are defeated.
