In the wake of Manchester City winning its next Premier League title in a row, chances have struck on the board to its 2019-20 Premier League season and once more, oddsmakers have tabbed the Citizens since the favorites to lift the trophy roughly one year from today.
Online shop Bovada opened City at -150 to win next year’s league title while this season’s runner-up, Liverpool, is next at +275.
Liverpool pushed City into the final day, hoping for Pep Guardiola and his side to drop away points to Brighton, which, as we all know, didn’t occur. City ended up winning 4-1 while Liverpool trumped Wolves 2-0 at Anfield to end the season one point behind on 97 points. An extraordinary points haul regardless of the season.
Third about the oddsboard is Tottenham, coming in at +1200. Spurs finished fourth in the league on 71 points despite amassing just 11 from their closing dozen games of the campaign.
Manchester United is fourth at +1400 that’s a bit surprising considering the way the Red Devils shut the campaign. United ended in sixth with 66 points and appears to be dysfunctional under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer because it was under Jose Mourinho.
Chelsea is following up at +2000 and is coming off a third-placed complete with 72 points. The Blues face a small stern test following year as they are sitting on a move ban over the next two windows. This usually means that there’ll be no incoming transports in summer time or winter but outgoings will be possible.
Additionally, if the latest rumors are to be considered, Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard is already on his way to Real Madrid in a movement which will be finalized following the Europa League final against Arsenal.
One thing to notice is the promoted clubs in The Championship aren’t finalized as of yet. We know for sure that both Norwich and Sheffield United are coming after finishing first and second , but Leeds, West Brom, Aston Villa and Derby are from the playoff to determine who the third and last team will be.
