The Bees are in the top flight for the first time since 1947 – but the bookies don’t fancy their chances

Brentford made it 10th time lucky as they beat Swansea 2-0 in the Championship play-off final to reach the Premier League for the first time.
Goals from Ivan Toney and Emiliano Marcondes saw the Bees finally break their play-off hoodoo after all nine of their previous attempts had ended in failure.
It was swift redemption for Thomas Frank’s side, back at Wembley Stadium just nine months after losing to Fulham in last season’s delayed final – but the bookmakers aren’t backing them to stay in the top flight for long.
Brentford join fellow newly-promoted sides Norwich City and Watford as evens to be relegated at the end of the 2021-22 Premier League season.
The news isn’t much better for Newcastle United who, despite their 12th-place finish, are tipped for another season of struggle.
SkyBet has them ranked at 11/4 to go down, the same as Burnley, which is the lowest odds of any current top-flight side.
Southampton, who ended last term in poor form, are 9/2 while managerless Wolves and Aston Villa are 5/1.
Brighton, perhaps surprisingly, are 11/2.
