Manchester City’s Odds
According to Grosvenor odds, Manchester City will be keen to make a back-to-back title claim this season under the wings of Pep Guardiola. As of this writing, they are the favourites to be crowned winners again. The odds of City ending the season at the top of the table again are at 7/10.
The club is currently in pursuit to sign Harry Kane as Sergio Aguero’s replacement. If this deal is to go through, then the odds of Manchester City straying put at the top will be sure to rise. Odds show that teams likely to challenge last season’s champions are Liverpool and Chelsea.
Guardiola’s side will begin the 2021/2022 season at the same grounds where it suffered an away defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last season.
Chelsea
The Champions League winners Chelsea finished fourth last season. Thomas Tuchel lost on the final day of the Premier League season. With the expected heavy investments this season, the club is set to fight for the top position. The Blues are expected to start the season with a win against visiting Crystal Palace.
Chelsea spent lots of funds last season building the team in hopes of reclaiming their lost glory but fell short despite showcasing a strong performance over the season. This effort saw the Blues make it to the Champions League and FA Cup finals.
For Tuchel to pose as a serious challenger for the title this season, he will have to invest heavily in signing an outstanding striker and a strong midfield.
Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp’s team was dealt a bad hand with injuries last season. The injuries derailed their title defence. Liverpool is expected to make a return to the top with an odd of 5/1 together with the Blues as co-second favourites.
Liverpool, which started and finished last season in an energetic spirit, is expected to make a winning start against the recently promoted Norwich City.
Manchester United
Despite being the runners-up last season, the Red Devils are fourth favourites this season. With their odds standing at 13/2, Ole Gunnar’s men are expected to struggle to secure a spot at the top of the Premier League table this season. Despite the expected sign up of Jadon Sancho this summer, Man U does not stand much of a chance.
Manchester United, will kick off their campaign with a home fixture against its fierce rival, Leeds United, between 14th and 15th August. That said, Manchester United is tipped to win the league at fourth place. That’s despite being the most famous football club in the UK and third in the world after Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Tottenham, Arsenal, and Leicester
Tottenham Hotspur is priced up at 40/1 for the title. The Spurs will kick off the season with a home fixture against last season’s Champions. The Gunners’ odds stand at 80/1. Like Tottenham, Leicester’s odds are at 40/1.
The New Entrants and Relegation
The three newly-promoted teams, Brentford, Norwich City and Watford, are most likely to tail at the bottom of the table according to the odds. Of the three, Norwich City is the favourite to go down after losing Em Buendia to Aston Villa.
Norwich City is odds-on to get relegated with odds at 9/10, according to Grosvenor. They are likely to spend one season in the division. Watford is likely to follow closely behind them despite finishing second in the Championship last season. Watford finished with the best defensive record in the division with 30 goals conceded in 46 games.
Brentford, the playoff winners, are considered the most likely to stay up among the three new entrants, priced at 11/10 for relegation. The club is nonetheless among the three favourites likely to go down.
Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are priced at 9/4 for relegation despite participating in the last EPL season. Burnley follows them closely at 5/2.
Understanding English Premier League (EPL) Betting Odds
Sportsbooks often adjust EPL odds throughout the offseason due to player injuries and transfers. Once the season kicks off, the odds are likely to change as teams lose and win games and as more players suffer injuries and suspension.
Bookies will keep adjusting the odds based on handle and liability to specific teams. That being said, you should therefore understand that the odds herein given are only current as per the time of writing.
The EPL campaign promises yet another great year of football entertainment, with betting odds favouring the top four across all bookmakers. We expect an exciting year full of premiership fixtures such as the North London Derby, Manchester derby, among other thrilling matches with lucrative premier league odds.
