We still have the rest of the Premier League season to get, through the FA Cup to settle, the Champions League still to play itself out and of course the World Cup in the summer. However, bet365 this week launched odds on the Premier League Next Season Winner market. It is an interesting look ahead actually, because Manchester City have already wrapped up this season pretty much.
The bookmaker has installed Pep Guardiola’s men as the 4/6 outright favourites* (betting odds taken at 11:14 p.m. on March 27th, 2018) to double up with a league title next season as well. The Citizens have run away with things this term, stomping all over the nearest challengers on their way to what could be a record-breaking season for them. They have produced such dominance this term that they look as if they could be untouchable for some time.
The 4/6 odds on them implies a 60% chance of them collecting the Premier League title next season and if they did, they would be the first team to do so since rivals Manchester United pulled it off in the 2007/08 season. Manchester United’s chances are out at 6/1 odds* (betting odds taken at 11:14 p.m. on March 27th, 2018) which is just a 14% chance and they have had some difficulties in impressing their own support this season under Jose Mourinho, falling badly short in the Champions League as well.
There could be a summer shake-up on the way at Old Trafford. Liverpool are sandwiched between the two Manchester clubs at 5/1 odds* (betting odds taken at 11:14 p.m. on March 27th, 2018) as they are deemed the ones to have the best chance of all in breaking the dominance of Manchester City. That could totally hinge upon whether or not Jurgen Klopp can hang on to Mo Salah over the summer with the likes of Real Madrid naturally on the radar.
Chelsea, who could lose Antonio Conte in the summer are only 10/1 shots at Bet365* (betting odds taken at 11:14 p.m. on March 27th, 2018) to get themselves back to the top of the table next season. It’s hard to judge where the Blues are going to be at in terms of not only top personnel like Willian and Eden Hazard, but who is going to be in charge of them. Then comes Spurs, despite another solid season of style, the substance hasn’t been there at the end of the day to get themselves really into the title race and after missed chances in previous seasons they are left out at 14/1 odds* (betting odds taken at 11:14 p.m. on March 27th, 2018).
Still, that’s better than their North London rivals Arsenal who are 25/1 shots* (betting odds taken at 11:14 p.m. on March 27th, 2018) to win the league next season. Outside of the traditional big six, you are looking at 200/1 odds* (betting odds taken at 11:14 p.m. on March 27th, 2018) on Everton and 300/1 odds* (betting odds taken at 11:14 p.m. on March 27th, 2018) on Leicester doing a “Leicester” and pulling off a shock title.
