The new season of the Premier League is right here now with the big kick off on the weekend, and it gets an early start on Friday night for Arsenal v Leicester. There have been some big money deals splashed around by the big clubs as they not only prepare of course for an assault on the Premier League title but also because of UEFA Champions League and Europa League interests as well. While Manchester United made a lot of big waves with their summer signing of Romelu Lukaku, it is Manchester City who perhaps have gained the biggest advantage in the off season.
The Citizens clearly mean business this term and the squad is looking more like a Pep Guardiola type of squad. They have boosted their goalkeeping by bringing in Brazilian Ederson and have added Kyle Walker, Danilo and Benjamin Mendy to their squad and everyone seems to be pretty hyped up about the arrival of midfield Bernardo Silva too. With the goal scoring competition between Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus likely to go down, Man City look in pretty good shape.
Manchester City are 17/10 at Bet365 to win the Premier League and punters have really gotten behind them. It is surprising that Manchester United have not done any better than sitting as joint 7/2 favourites ahead of the new season with reigning champions Chelsea. The Blues have not actually added to the depth of their squad this season over the summer and with the extra exertions of UEFA Champions League games, they aren’t likely going to be as dominant this time around under Antonio Conte on the domestic front.
Manchester United will look to the goals of Romelu Lukaku and they have brought Nemanja Matic from Chelsea, who many thinks could be the final piece of the puzzle for Jose Mourinho. But punters haven’t been overly keen on them and indeed, on the day that they signed Matic, they drifted a little bit in the Premier League outright winner market. But it is those three who are the frontrunners for the title if the odds are right. No-one else is trading under double figures.
Tottenham are 10/1 at Bet365 to land the title and after a summer of not spending any money to add to a squad which wasn’t good enough to win the title last year seems strange. But the pressure is perhaps mounting and in a bit of a change of heart, boss Mauricio Pochettino is now hopeful of getting some signings in before the end of the window. With Arsenal and Liverpool sitting at an even bigger price of 12/1 apiece it is pretty clear who punters are leaning on this season in the Premier League title race. They are putting a lot of trust in Guardiola and the fantastic signings he has made over the summer.
