Club sponsors tips them for relegation

How does it feel not be tipped to fail at school by you parents who are paying your way through your studies?

That is the exact feeling Sunderland will be having right now as their sponsor Darabet have installed them as the 5/8 favourites to go down.

Sunderland have Darabet on their jersey but after losing their first two league games of the season.

The Black Cats lost their first game at Leicester City, 2-4 and was beaten at home by Norwhich 1-3.

For Darabet, it is business without sentiments as they have made Sunderland the odds-on favourites to be relegated this season

Sunderland have been given odds of 1000/1 to make the top four, while fellow relegation battlers Norwich, Bournemouth and Watford are just 500/1.

Dick Advocaat's men will have the chance to get their first point this season when they host Swansea at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, August 22.
