Sunderland, Hull City, Crystal Palace, Burnley and West Ham feature.

The clubs at the top end of the Premier League have been remarkably restrained this transfer window, and there are no signs of that changing as we reach deadline day.

At the foot of the table it is another story, with clubs desperate to avoid getting relegation.

The difference is, as clubs have found to their cost already in certain cases, when the drop looms it is not so easy to attract players.

Nonetheless it is clubs at the lower end of the table who have been forecast to be most active today, according to bookmakers Ladbrokes.

Here are the prices for the five teams projected to make the most signings before the transfer deadline…

Hull City 7/4, Sunderland 7/2, Crystal Palace 5/1, Burnley 8/1, West Ham 8/1.

Hull and Sunderland have both changed their managers within the past six weeks, and this is the last chance for Marco Silva and Sam Allardyce to get their own players in.

Sunderland yesterday clinched deals for Bryan Oviedo and Darron Gibson, two players Moyes knows well from his time at Everton.

West Ham are the highest ranked side among the clubs, having risen up into 10th position after a recent winning run. Their activity will be fuelled by a cash boost from letting Dimitri Payet leave to rejoin Marseille.
