Burnley remain one of the favourites to get relegated this season, despite appointing a new manager.

Brian Laws was confirmed as coach earlier this week, however, the Turf Moor club are 10/11 to go down with Coral(Go to Coral »).

Even though the north-west team are currently 14th in the table, only Portsmouth and Hull City are considered more likely to be playing in the Championship next year.

Some commentators have suggested that Laws' lack of top-flight experience could be a problem, but the former Burnley man told Sky Sports News that he relishes a challenge.

He remarked: "Make no mistake, I'm a manager that shows passion, wants to win and I want to be part of that and I'll do everything possible to be successful."

Those confident of the former Burnley defender's words can put money on the club to stay up this campaign, with odds of 5/6 offered by Totesport(Go to Totesport ») on this eventuality.
