Hull are 1/7 to be relegated from the Premier League with the bookies following the penultimate weekend's action.

Two points from safety following Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham, Steve Bruce's men know their fate is now out of their own hands and that they will have to beat Manchester United at the KC Stadium next Sunday to stand any chance of survival.

William Hill subsequently make them 1/7 for the drop - a price that is widely available.

Their hopes got a minor boost on Sunday when Manchester United could only draw 1-1 with Arsenal - a result which makes it unlikely that United will have anything to play for in Sunday's game. Hull are 7/2 to stay up.

Newcastle are 7/1 shots after they lost 2-1 at QPR. The Magpies had led - and a win would have secured their top-flight status - but the Londoners fought back to deny their visitors even a point.

They know only a win at home to West Ham on the final day is guaranteed to keep them up. Any other result will leave them relying on other results.

Sunderland are the only other team who could yet slip into the Sky Bet Championship. The Black Cats edged closer to safety with a goalless draw against Leicester and they are now 11/1 to go down.

They are three points ahead of Hull but have a worse goal difference. Sunderland still have two games to play - away to Arsenal on Wednesday and away to Chelsea next Sunday.
 
If Sunderland fail to beat Arsenal, the Gunners will clinch a place in the top three, thus avoiding a Champions League play-off. Manchester United would instead have to settle for that - and would have nothing to play for at Hull, leaving the prospect of them blooding youngsters or fringe players.
