Some 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 results, including that NUFC thrashing of Ipswich.

A dominant performance seeing United win 4-0 and it could/should have been more.

That win coming in the seventeenth 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:

1/2 (13/2) Liverpool

7/2 (9/5) Arsenal

13/2 (40/1) Chelsea

33/1 (11/8) Man City

400/1 (1,500/1) Forest

500/1 (40/1 Newcastle United

500/1 (66/1) Aston Villa

750/1 (1,500/1) Bournemouth

750/1 (33/1) Tottenham

750/1 (28/1) Man U

1,000/1 (200/1) Brighton

So Newcastle United now rated joint sixth most ‘likely’.

At the very top, Liverpool remain favourites, with Arsenal overtaking Chelsea as second favourites, Manchester City now distant 33/1 fourth favourites as they lost yet again, this time at Villa.

This is how the Premier League table looks today (Monday 23 December 2024):

Premier League relegation:

1/12 (1/1) Southampton

4/9 (10/11) Ipswich

4/11 (1/2) Leicester

6/4 (7/2) Wolves

5/1 (5/2) Everton

10/1 (12/1) Man City

12/1 (10/1) Palace

25/1 (20/1) West Ham

40/1 (7/1) Brentford

250/1 (11/2) Fulham

500/1 (250/1) Man U

500/1 (3/1) Forest

500/1 (200/1) Villa

500/1 (40/1) Brighton

500/1 (7/1) Bournemouth

500/1 (40/1) Chelsea

500/1 (250/1) Tottenham

500/1 (250/1) Newcastle United

2,500/1 (2,000/1) Arsenal

3,000/1 (2,000/1) Liverpool

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 10/1 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 case is ongoing. Though there again, the way their current form is going on the pitch as well now…

Finish Premier League top four:

1/200 (1/2) Liverpool

1/25 (1/9) Arsenal

1/12 (9/4) Chelsea

4/6 (1/7) Man City

15/2 (9/4) Newcastle United

15/2 (7/2) Villa

9/1 (9/4) Tottenham

12/1 (100/1) Forest

12/1 (2/1) Man U

16/1 (66/1) Bournemouth

20/1 (11/1) Brighton

66/1 (66/1) Fulham

300/1 (66/1) Brentford

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 fifth most likely with Villa, after that dominant win over Ipswich.

Next match on Boxing Day is at St James’ Park against Unai Emery’s side, what a huge game that now looks, with United set to go ahead of Aston Villa if getting the win.
