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 Saturday’s defeat to Brighton.
The Premier League with eight rounds of games now completed.
The Premier League now back after the October international break.
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:
11/8 (11/8) Man City
5/2 (9/5) Arsenal
11/4 (13/2) Liverpool
28/1 (40/1) Chelsea
40/1 (33/1) Tottenham
80/1 (66/1) Aston Villa
200/1 (28/1) Man U
250/1 (40/1 Newcastle United
250/1 (200/1) Brighton
So Newcastle United now rated eighth most likely…
To be honest, I can’t see anything other than Man City, Arsenal maybe, possibly Liverpool as a third contender.
This is how the Premier League table looks today (Monday 21 October 2024):
Premier League relegation:
1/5 (1/1) Southampton
4/6 (10/11) Ipswich
11/10 (1/2) Leicester
5/4 (7/2) Wolves
4/1 (5/2) Everton
13/2 (10/1) Palace
11/1 (3/1) Forest
12/1 (7/1) Brentford
12/1 (12/1) Man City
14/1 (20/1) West Ham
20/1 (7/1) Bournemouth
20/1 (11/2) Fulham
100/1 (40/1 Chelsea
250/1 (250/1) Man U
300/1 (40/1) Brighton
300/1 (250/1) Newcastle United
1.00/1 (200/1) Villa
1,500/1 (250/1) Tottenham
2,000/1 (2,000/1) Liverpool
2,000/1 (2,000/1) Arsenal
Eddie Howe’s team now seen as joint fifth 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:
1/12 (1/9) Arsenal
1/10 (1/2) Liverpool
1/6 (1/7) Man City
1/1 (9/4) Chelsea
11/4 (9/4) Tottenham
7/2 (7/2) Villa
7/1 (9/4) Newcastle United
7/1 (2/1) Man U
8/1 (11/1) Brighton
80/1 (25/1) West Ham
80/1 (66/1) Fulham
80/1 (100/1) 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 joint seventh most likely, after that defeat to Brighton.
Two massive Premier League games up next, away to Chelsea and home to Arsenal.
