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 midweek results so far, including that NUFC draw with Liverpool.
A stunning match that eventually ended Newcastle 3 Liverpool 3.
That draw coming in the fourteenth PL round of matches.
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:**
4/5 (13/2) Liverpool
5/2 (9/5) Arsenal
7/1 (11/8) Man City
14/1 (40/1) Chelsea
200/1 (33/1) Tottenham
300/1 (28/1) Man U
300/1 (200/1) Brighton

So [Newcastle United](https://www.themag.co.uk/2024/12/5-newcastle-united-players-down-for-eddie-howe/) now rated equal eighth most likely.
At the very top, Liverpool remain very clear favourites, whilst Arsenal next most fancied and Man City 7/1 third favourite after a much-needed win against Forest last night.
This is how the Premier League table looks today (Thursday 5 December 2024):

**Premier League relegation:**
1/6 (1/1) Southampton
4/7 (10/11) Ipswich
8/11 (1/2) Leicester
13/8 (7/2) Wolves
11/4 (5/2) Everton
7/1 (10/1) Palace
12/1 (12/1) Man City
18/1 (20/1) West Ham
28/1 (7/1) Brentford
66/1 (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
500/1 (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 joint third 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:**
1/40 (1/2) Liverpool
1/20 (1/9) Arsenal
1/3 (1/7) Man City
1/3 (9/4) Chelsea
7/2 (9/4) Tottenham
7/1 (2/1) Man U
15/2 (11/1) Brighton
9/1 (9/4) Newcastle United
10/1 (7/2) Villa
66/1 (100/1) Forest
66/1 (66/1) Fulham
66/1 (66/1) Bournemouth
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 Liverpool.
The next three Premier League matches for Newcastle are against Brentford, Leicester and Ipswich, can NUFC take advantage?
