Troubled Toon 15-2 to suffer relegation
SHAMBOLIC Newcastle are 15-2 with Paddy Power to be relegated from the Premier League after they were hammered 3-0 at Leicester with the free-falling Magpies only two points above the bottom three.
John Carver’s side, who were 350-1 for relegation early last month and 100-1 only a fortnight ago, lost their eighth consecutive match and had Mike Williamson and Daryl Janmaat sent off.
Incredibly, Carver accused Williamson of being dismissed on purpose in a game where the troubled Toon were outplayed from the first whistle.
Leonardo Ulloa scored twice and Wes Morgan was also on target for the Foxes, who are 13-2 to be relegated.
There were six home wins in the Premier League with Manchester United the only side to lose - the Red Devils were stunned 1-0 by 9-1 shots West Brom.
The situation is looking bleak for QPR and Burnley following their defeats at Liverpool (2-1) and West Ham (1-0) respectively, but Sunderland are out to 8-11 with Coral for the drop after a vital 2-1 victory over Southampton.
Sunderland are only one point from safety in what is turning into a thrilling scrap to avoid a spot in next season’s Championship and Aston Villa edged themselves closer to safety thanks to a thrilling 3-2 success over Everton with Christian Benteke notching twice.
Hills rate Villa 20-1 to go down and it was a bad afternoon for Hull, who were cut to 11-2 to go down ahead of Monday’s clash with Arsenal.
Swansea triumphed 2-0 against Stoke at the Liberty Stadium.
