Some very interesting odds on Premier League top four (and other possibilities) for the 2024/25 season where Newcastle United are concerned, with bookies taking stock after the weekend’s results, including that NUFC draw at Crystal Palace.
That draw coming in the thirteenth PL round of matches.
The Premier League now heads into a full midweek schedule of games.
All ten matches this midweek can be seen live on Amazon Prime.
The bookies and punters reacting to how things now stand in the Premier League table (see below), as well of course, how they are now seeing the underlying strengths of the various teams and squads.
Listed below are the general Premier League odds now available from the various bookies for the 2024/25 season (in brackets are what the odds were after the opening round of PL games):
Win the Premier League:
4/7 (13/2) Liverpool
3/1 (9/5) Arsenal
8/1 (11/8) Man City
18/1 (40/1) Chelsea
195/1 (28/1) Man U
250/1 (33/1) Tottenham
300/1 (200/1) Brighton
500/1 (40/1 Newcastle United
750/1 (66/1) Aston Villa
So Newcastle United now rated equal eighth most likely.
At the very top, Liverpool now very clear favourites, whilst Arsenal next most fancied and Man City drifting all the time.
This is how the Premier League table looks today (Monday 2 December 2024):
Premier League Table 2 December 2024
Premier League relegation:
1/5 (1/1) Southampton
8/15 (1/2) Leicester
4/6 (10/11) Ipswich
9/4 (7/2) Wolves
9/4 (5/2) Everton
4/1 (10/1) Palace
12/1 (12/1) Man City
18/1 (20/1) West Ham
40/1 (7/1) Brentford
80/1 (3/1) Forest
100/1 (7/1) Bournemouth
125/1 (11/2) Fulham
300/1 (200/1) Villa
350/1 (40/1) Chelsea
500/1 (40/1) Brighton
500/1 (250/1) Tottenham
500/1 (250/1) Newcastle United
750/1 (250/1) Man U
2,000/1 (2,000/1) Liverpool
2,000/1 (2,000/1) Arsenal
Eddie Howe’s team now seen as fourth least likely to go down in the 2024/25 season.
If you are wondering about the Man City 12/1 odds of relegation, this is due to the possibility (probability?) of severe punishment from the 115 Premier League charges they face, which could include amongst other sanctions, points deduction or even relegation. That hearing now reported to be ongoing.
Finish Premier League top four:
1/25 (1/2) Liverpool
1/12 (1/9) Arsenal
2/5 (1/7) Man City
4/9 (9/4) Chelsea
3/1 (9/4) Tottenham
6/1 (2/1) Man U
13/2 (11/1) Brighton
8/1 (9/4) Newcastle United
10/1 (7/2) Villa
40/1 (100/1) Forest
50/1 (66/1) Fulham
This is where, like me, I guess you will be giving most focus.
Can Newcastle United bounce back into the Premier League top four and get Champions League football?
Well, the bookies now have NUFC eighth most likely, after that draw against Palace.
A win against Liverpool on Wednesday night wouldn’t do any harm…
