West Ham United have been installed as the 9/4 favourites to win the Championship title next season following their relegation from the Premier League.
The Hammers headed into the final day of the Premier League season needing to beat Leeds United whilst hoping that Tottenham Hotspur would lose at home to Everton.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side took the lead just after the hour mark through January acquisition Taty Castellanos.
Jarrod Bowen doubled their advantage 12 minutes from time as the Hammers captain struck a powerful effort beyond Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
Callum Wilson then added gloss to the scoreline with an injury-time goal but unfortunately for West Ham, they didn't get the favour they required from Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Joao Palhinha's effort shortly before half-time was enough to secure Tottenham's Premier League status and condemned West Ham to the Championship for the first time since the 2011/12 campaign.
West Ham Championship Title Odds
West Ham Championship Promotion Odds
(Odds will display when markets are available)
As well as being the 9/4 favourites to win the Championship title, West Ham are odds-on to win promotion at 4/6.
Much will depend on their ability to keep hold of the likes of Jarrod Bowen, Crysencio Summerville and their other key players.
If they can ship out the deadwood and also add a sprinkling of quality to their ranks, there is no reason why West Ham can't justify favouritism for the new season.
Fellow relegated sides Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley are also amongst the favourites to be promoted next season, while Birmingham City and Sheffield United are fancied to enjoy better campaigns.
Any odds displayed were correct at the time of writing and are subject to fluctuation.
