THE Premier League will be a two-horse race again in 2019/20, if the bookmakers are to be believed.
But it’s bad news for Albion fans, after the team were named one of the favourites to be relegated.
Champions Manchester City and last season's runners-up Liverpool are a long way clear in the betting at best-price 1/2 and 10/3 respectively to be crowned champions next May.
Tottenham Hotspur are expected to be in the top four Champions League spots as clear third favourites (22/1), while Chelsea and Manchester United are expected to be battling it out for fourth place (40/1 for the title).
At the other end of the table, Sheffield United are odds on (4/5) to go straight back down.
Norwich City, who also came up from the Championship, are expected to be relegated (11/8) with Brighton and Hove Albion (15/8).
Burnley (2/1) and Newcastle United (9/4) are also predicted to be in the scrap at the bottom of the league.
The Premier League kicked off last night with Liverpool beating newly promoted Norwich City at Anfield.
