After picking up just two points from their first five games, Newcastle currently find themselves in the relegation zone.
A 1-1 draw against Leeds United on Friday night did little to alleviate relegation fears around St James’s Park as chants against Steve Bruce were heard once again.
Only Burnley and Norwich City are below Bruce’s side who travel to Watford on Saturday in a clash which, even in September, could be deemed as a ‘relegation six-pointer’.
Here, we have listed the thirteen sides BetVictor think are in the most danger of being relegated in May and there are a couple of surprise names involved.
Do you agree with their odds? Do you think Newcastle are in the correct place?

7. Brentford - 5/1
It’s a credit to Brentford that as a newly-promoted side, they’re so high-up on this list. Brentford have looked solid at the back, whilst also being a threat up-front, a great mix if they want to survive in their maiden Premier League season.

8. Southampton - 5/1
The Saints earned a well-deserved point at the home of the champions Manchester City at the weekend. Despite a tough pre-season with the departures of Danny Ings and Jannik Vestergaard, the bookies still tip them to survive the drop come May. (Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images) Photo: Alex Livesey
