So Manchester United are favourites so far, with a spectacular season this year and a win at the Champions League. I suspect it has left them brimming with confidence and anticipation for next season, despite the uncertainty of Ronaldo’s position in the team. Man Utd are 5/4 to win the Premier League, this is a pretty confident move on the bookie’s behalf considering the tight competition between the top four.
Chelsea are just behind with 2/1 at Bet Direct, it’ll be interesting to see how well their season kicks off with yet another new manager, but Big Phil’s experience and success with Brazil and Portugal be sure to see the odds shortening on Chelsea over the next few months. It’s definitely beneficial to put a bet on Chelsea now while the price is only mildly extortionate.
And then there’s Liverpool at a price of 7/1 general or 8 if your with Betfred. Despite their standard of play last year they only came fourth, I think it’s a reasonable proposal. Liverpool have a talented side and they play consistently well but they still haven’t won a title since 1990, there isn’t much value in this bet right now but it wouldn’t hurt to check out their form closer to the start of the League.
As for relegation, Hull City are 3/10 the bookies don’t show much faith in the recently promoted team who’ll be playing in the Premier League for the first time ever. I think, however that West Brom are much better value at 5/4 for Canbet.
With Hull, Stoke City and West Brom all looking to be knocked out at the end of the season there looks to be some serious betting down this end of the market too. The competition looks tight between Stoke and Hull who were put down as 15/8 (best price) and 6/4 (best price) respectively to finish bottom. West Brom are looking a confident 11/2 on Paddypower, which needs be left alone.
There’s also some interesting odds on who’ll make the top six, Everton and Villa look to fight it out for the number six spot. The odds tell of close contest with Aston Villa at 1.7/1 (betfair) and Everton a 1.5/1 (betfair)
