Premiership Relegation - Ante Post Bet (Friday, July 29, 2005)

Sunderland won the Championship in convincing fashion last season but could be Premiership relegation fodder. Quality second-tier players such as Tommy Miller, Kelvin Davis and Nyron Nosworthy have been brought in as has Jon Stead, but with just two goals to his name last season, he cannot be relied on to fire the club to safety. The Black Cats should be backed for relegation at 1.80 (4/5) and also to finish bottom of the Premiership at 5.0 (4/1 - both Stan James). Similarly, Wigan will find life a lot tougher in the Premiership after never being in danger of not winning promotion last season. Paul Jewell has found it difficult to attract players to the JJB Stadium, with Rotherham goalkeeper Mike Pollitt and Bastia defender Pascal Chimbonda the only new arrivals while defensive pair Nicky Eaden and Ian Breckin have left for Nottingham Forest. The Latics should be backed for relegation at 1.80 (4/5) and also to finish bottom of the Premiership at 5.0 (4/1 - both Paddy Power).
