Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Everton, Fulham, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Southampton, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers all have betting businesses as their primary top partners this year.
Only one of the 11 teams participating in UEFA this year is Villa. Scotland's wayward Champions League agent, Celtic, will have to replace Dafabet from their jerseys when they visit Italy to take on Atalanta next quarter.
